Today is the Third Sunday of Advent which calls for something special in this book calendar, quite a rarity actually. The book is rather small and looks nothing special if seen on the shelf, but it contains a poem and a text on the city Mukden (Manchu name for Shenyang \u6c88\u9633, capital of Liaoning province \u8fbd\u5b81\u7701) by the Qianlong emperor \u4e7e\u9686 (1711-1799), translated and published during his reign by Jean Joseph Marie Amiot (\u9322\u5fb7\u660e 1718-1793), a French Jesuit who spent over 40 years in China.<\/span> The book was published in 1770 in Paris by ”M. Deguignes”, who ought to be Joseph de Guignes (1721\u20131800). de Guignes was a French Orientalist, Sinologist and Turkologist, professor at Coll\u00e8ge de France, and the teacher of Chinese to Swedish proto-Sinologist Johan Erik Ringstr\u00f6m (1746\u20131820).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beside the Qianlong poem and his text on Mukden, the book contains ”curious notes on the geography and on the natural history of Eastern Tartary, and on the ancient customs of the Chinese; composed by Chinese and Tartar editors”. The picture shows a section on Chinese writing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qianlong poem included in the book is quite well-know, and it is an ”ode” to Qianlong’s favoured special tea, called \u4e09\u6e05\u8336 ”Three clear tea”. It contains plum blossom \u6885\u82b1, pine nuts \u677e\u5b50\u4ec1 and Buddhas hand \u4f5b\u624b\u67d1 (fingered citron). Below is the full Chinese text. The whole book is available digitally<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
