Antique Chinese Porcelain Collector's Help and Info Page
Description: Although this site also contains a commercial part, the information on the world of Chinese and Japanese ceramics is of very good quality. There is a section on marks (including historic and modern imitations), a glossary with more than 500 entries, a chapter on the Swedish India Company and the excavation of the Gotheborg, an annotated list of books on ceramics, and an active discussion list (requires registration), to name just a few. A drawback is the sheer size of the site and the lack of a clear defined sub-structure. One can easily get lost or end up in frames that load instead of the navigation. Despite these flaws it is a very useful resource.

Asian Traditional Archery Research Network : Chinese Archive
Description: This page is a sub-site of ATARN, the Asian Traditional Archery Research Network, covering much more than only China. There is also a very active forum. The entries differ very much from each other, there are reprinted articles, translations, excerpts from personal communication, richly illustrated texts on mechanisms (like the crossbow or the archer's rings). Although the last update was 24 January, 2002, the highly specialized content of the site is very interesting, not only to archery freaks.

Abing, His Life and His Music
Citation: An analysis of the life and music of the folk musician Abing (Hua Yanjun), c. 1890-1950. An enigmatic figure, Abing has since his death been reinterpreted in several distinct ways by musicians and cultural authorities in China. An analysis of Abing thus becomes an analysis of the transformations of traditional music in twentieth-century China.

Chinese Pop Posters
Description: A sequence of 24 Chinese propaganda posters (including a few stamps), collected by Olivier Laude, editor of the Atlas Magazine, and showing "images of revolutionaries, babies with peaches, generals on horses and babies with fishes" "These posters are used to decorate the walls of schools, private homes and government institutions. They are produced by the central government in Beijing and reflect the many political changes of the past 47 years of communist rule. They are in many ways a very good historical record of theeconomic, political and social turmoils China has undergone since 1949. They also are tools of the central government's propaganda machine" (from Olivier Laude's introduction to "Chinese Pop Posters"). The site has an informative introduction, and most of the posters are commented on. Unfortunately no general index is provided, so you have to browse the posters one by one.

中国1966-1976电子档案 = Chinese Digital Archive 1966-1976
Description: This interesting database currently (29 Jan 2005) contains 226 documents, comprising text documents and about 30 photographs, mostly from the Menzies Asian Special Collection. The documents are pdf scans of speeches and addresses, many hand-written. This is probably why no text is available in full-text, a major draw back of the database. Consequently, the search is limited to the metadata, which one would wish to be even more detailed. "Title" (in pinyin), "Subject", "Description", and "Creator" are the searchable fields, with each word in the Description field linked to the search-function. Users can mark single items as Favourite, lists of these Favourites are generated in html and may be mailed or put online.
