Yup.
BTW, let me show my condolence to the passing away of Mar Dinkha IV. (It took me five minutes to Google how to spell "condolence")
This church never come to China again once it leaves. But it idi come to Hong Kong:

Ahhh... That's it. It looks impressive, but it's better to post churches and mosques separately.
Below is the remain of a traditional Chinese church in Beijing; it was an Assyrian Church of the East:

Such an architecture style has been extinct since...
Yup, and Pakistan is the only country other than China that have such nationalistic mosque. (In both Gilgit and Baltistan; perhaps Pashtunkhwa also)
Wow! You sure that in this ancient Qiangic-Tibetic city we have such a beautiful mosque? What is it called? And why is there a cross on its head...
That's good. I believe you can get the difference between マンジュ and まんしゅう. The former is written in katakana with Manchu pronunciation :smitten:.
Yes, the new Lhasa mosque looks great, if it's built somewhere else. I still think the government should recover the Lhasa mosque in its original...
It was not Manchukuo but Manshukoku. The Chinese lexicon is not Manzhuguo but Weimanzhouguo. You can call it either Weimanzhouguo or Manshukoku, but don't use the term Manchu.
Our Chinese Muslim culture is often ignored by the world. Below is the image of Lhasa mosque in 1993 and 2009. It has been destroyed twice in 1959 and 2008:
As can been seen, it looked (I meant the old one; as for the new one... well...) more Tibetan than the mosques in Gilgit-Baltistan:
And...
I'm completely ignorant about semiotics and hermeneutics, and it takes some time to learn them.
As for Yoshiko, you just mentioned one of the few exceptional cases that Manshu people existed in China. Generally Manchus live in China and Manshu people live in Japan. However, there exist a few...
Dear Mr/s Nipponese,
I am actually very curious about the recent destructive crime on lots of Japanese shrines and temples. Could you please post me some link about how Japanese netizens comment that? Has any Zainichi group been alleged by netizens to have committed that? And what's the current...
The ROK flag is an Americanized taiji/taegaek as the American thought that the taegaek, a Koreanized taiji, was ugly. Nonetheless we should have a look at its neighbor... half taegaek is better than no taegaek.
First of all, it's Sêrtar rather than "SeDa". Secondly, Larung Ngarig Buddhist Academy, one of the largest in the world, is not and never located in the town of Sêrtar.
A Buddhist academy located in a town or city can hardly become a good Buddhist academy.
Please be informed that there's no such thing called Manchukuo in the world. There was a mighty state Manju gurun (yet it's usually called the Later Aisin gurun); and several hundred years later a short-lived regime Manshukoku was there. None of them, however, can be called Manchukuo.

Hello Mr/Ms Nipponese,
I registered this account because I thought I should say something here after seeing your post in a translated version of this thread on a Chinese racist website.
It's not suprising at all that this Manchu song is popular in Japan. The Japanese fond of the...
