qianlong? what is it?

[rico chipotle]

someone from april, 2007 posted a question about a bowl found while using a metal-detector outside washington d.c...qianlong period was correctly identified by another as 1736-1796. k'ien lung, manchu emperor of this era, consolidated manchu control of china and east turkestan and established a suzereignty with tibet. he was ruthless with the chinese; manchu was official court language, inter-marriage between manchu and chinese was proscribed, and embellished codes of dress developed by earlier manchu as an indicator of ethnicity, identity and power (the hair queue was a sign of han submission to manchu overlords)
congrats on the beautiful find...

Not really. The poster is a newbie (first post) and he probably should have posted his research and congrats under Dale's original 2007 thread. No big deal. 8) Welcome to TN rico.

thanks, both of you, for responding. i thought the origional post strange because a simple "search" would have turned up this info. in fact i came on this sight by chance and the "sample" blog on the page was this question about k'ien lung. so there you have it; i noticed a whiff of controversy, inscribed and posted only..lol..i'm a relative neo-phyte with computers and couldn't navigate/find the origional post. sorry about that. i'll leave this up for a day or 2 and then withdraw it. thanks again..
