"Women are always the ones who love beauty, because they love love love too, and they always need to be loved, so they have to be beautiful."Chen Xiuya had her own clothing store. She was a classical woman, but she still needed love.In the eyes of many people, Chen Xiuya had experienced a lot in the past few years. However, her complexion had not changed, but her body now had the look of a mature woman."
He played with the Little Snake in his hands. Maidservant stood beside her and helplessly looked at the Thousand Miss Kim in front of her. Even though she was a Thousand Miss Kim of Prime Minister's Estate, she did not have the slightest bit of a young miss.She was the only lady in the Prime Minister's Estate, a woman that was doted on by millions. The emperor's doting, the prime minister's doting, and the three brothers' doting, had allowed her, Wuyou, to live.Her actions and behavior were completely unruly. While teasing others was her pleasure, there was absolutely no one who would blame her for her wrongdoings.Beside her, there was a friend of her brother's who was also her friend. He understood that she was protecting her. One was a high and mighty emperor, a gentle gentleman. He loved her dearly. One of them was a fiance who refused to appear. He loved her dearly and sacrificed everything for her."Those who are fated and unworthy can only pass by themselves. Those who are fated to meet her, even if they come late, can still enter her heart. Those who are fated and unfated to be are the ones who are responsible for their children and their elders."
This is a unique and conclusive reference work about the 6,000 individual men and women known to us from China’s formative first empires. Over decennia Michael Loewe (Cambridge, UK) has painstakingly collected all biographical information available. Not only those are dealt with who set the literary forms and intellectual background of traditional China, such as writers, scholars, historians and philosophers, but also those officials who administered the empire, and the military leaders who fought in civil warfare or with China’s neighbours. The work draws on primary historical sources as interpreted by Chinese, Japanese and Western scholars and as supplemented by archaeological finds and inscriptions. By devoting extensive entries to each of the emperors the author provides the reader with the necessary historical context and gives insight into the dynastic disputes and their far-reaching consequences. No comparable work exists for this important period of Chinese history. Without exaggeration a real must for historians of both China and other cultures.
This publication is the long-awaited complement to Michael Loewe's acclaimed Biographical Dictionary of the Qin, Former Han and Xin Periods (2000). With more than 8,000 entries, based upon historical records and surviving inscriptions, the comprehensive Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD) now provides information on men and women of the Chinese world who lived at the time of Later (or Eastern) Han, from Liu Xiu, founding Emperor Guangwu (reg. 24-57), to the celebrated warlord Cao Cao (155-220) at the end of the dynasty. The entries, including surnames, personal names, styles and dates, are accompanied by maps, genealogical tables and indexes, with lists of books and special accounts of women. These features, together with the convenient surveys of the history and the administrative structure of the dynasty, will make Rafe de Crespigny's work an indispensable tool for any further serious study of a significant but comparatively neglected period of imperial China.
