Maybe you’re interested in Chinese literature and history. Maybe you enjoy translation. Maybe you’re still not over the fall of the Ming dynasty and need a space to hang out with like-minded souls. Maybe the voices in your head have been whispering to you again and this is the only thing that will silence them. That’s pretty much all the reasons I can think of, but you may have other reasons of your own.

Stay up-to-date

That’s Substack’s headline, not mine, but I promise to keep you abreast of any 17th century developments as soon as I become aware of them.
