    1. Sorry I just read this article.

      吕玉兰 This person’s name = Lv Yulan (In modern people’s opinion, it is a commonly used name for women, but in ancient China, Lan also means "junzi")

      流芳百世=This idiom is often seen on Chinese tombstones. It probably means "passed on for a long time, a hundred generations = a hundred centuries", similar to a western epitaph

      直隶=A province in the Qing Dynasty, probably located in Beijing, Hebei, and Shandong together

      沧州=The hometown of martial arts in China, with strong folk customs

    2. The photo is reversed. . .

      中华国直隶省顺天府通州城襄康永山在法国四万七千零九十一号(47091)

      It probably means that Tongzhou City, Shuntianfu (an institution of the Qing Dynasty in China) in Zhili Province of China (a province in the Qing Dynasty where the capital is located). Name? (Didn't understand the meaning) Address in France. hope this helps.

      Interesting indeed.  At that relatively late date in China's history, eunuch's were still being 'produced'? 

      I wanted to speak a language that was forbidden on the forum, but I refused (to tell him) the last eunuch in China. The Qing Dynasty ended its rule the day after he was operated on. This is a sad story. I was laughing

    4. I want to see the pictures of the medals at the scene. Have you taken photos?

      Hi Elmar,

      the show was cancelled and there was defenitly no show in Gunzenhausen. But there was a non public and privatley held convention of the BHMA. About 60 to 80 people were there and after 5 hours all was over. We all hope that next year Gunzenhausen will happen again with all of us.

      kind regards

      Stephan

      I am researching a Portuguese musician Emílio Epigménio da Encarnação,(1874-1963)  who was the bandmaster for Sir Robert Hart in Beijing. In 1903 Hart writes in a letter that the Empress has requested the band should play for her. Hart writes Empress Dowager has asked for The Band for The 28th and the "boys" are in great glee over the prospect of visiting The Summer Palace and playing for Emperor and Court. Encarnação goes with them; I hope he' II get a "Double Dragon" out of it.   

      I wonder whether anybody could confirm that Encarnação did receive the award?

      Many thanks

      我没有找到您想要的图片。 但我想您可能会喜欢这张有趣的照片。 葡萄牙澳门殖民地赌场卢九的运营商。 他获得了葡萄牙王国的基督勋章和维拉维克萨的勋章。 但不幸的是,中国政府禁止赌博。 1907年12月15日,他在家中上吊。 否则,我想他也会得到双龙宝星。

      I did not find the picture you wanted. But I guess you might like this interesting photo. The operator of the Portuguese Macau colony casino-Lu Jiu. He obtained the Order of Christ in the Kingdom of Portugal and the Order of Villavicza. But unfortunately, the Chinese government banned gambling. He hanged himself at home on December 15, 1907. . Otherwise, I think he will also get Ssangyong Baoxing
