‎CHINA BOXER REBELLION‎

‎A Picture of Commander-in-Chief Dong's Plan to Attack the Western Forces at Yang Village‎

‎China 1899. Colour-printed woodblock. Paper toned. Minor nicks to margin. Very good condition. A Chinese print depicting a battle during the Boxer Rebellion.<br/> <br/>During the Boxer Uprising one of the ways the Boxers spread their message throughout China was through widely circulated pictures known as nianhua or "New Years' pictures." These pictures were often used to illustrate celebrations and festivals but also current events such as military victories. Since there were many people in the countryside who were illiterate the Boxers used various examples of imagery including posters placards and flags to coordinate the mass peasant movement and communicate their message of heroism and resistance against imperial powers. This print gives a close look at the battle at Yangcun. Chinese commanders led by Dong Fuxiang and his Gansu Braves were gathered in an encampment which the Western forces planned to attack. They built a bridge in order to cross the river to the encampment but the Chinese had planted mines which caused the bridge to explode and the Western forces to retreat. The print shows the Chinese forces waving swords as well as the flags of their commanders surrounding the Western soldiers from many sides as they attempt to flee some jumping off the bridge and drowning. "On the 14th day of the 7th month the Western armies arrived at Yang village. Western officers ordered the foot soldiers to build a footbridge across the river to attack the encampment. They were hit by Commander-in-Chief Dong and General Lis secretly placed mines. Our armies attacked from different directions. The Western army was decisively defeated and half of them were killed. A picture by the Daoist of Mount Song" caption translated by the National Archives. The celebratory nature of the illustration shows that it was meant to evoke feelings of patriotism and increase morale amongst the Chinese people and not intended to depict a realistic and historically accurate military scene. The pictorial style combines elements of traditional Chinese woodblock printing with some Western details with the bright colors following the nianhua tradition of the colorful New Year pictures. The prominent red color splashed across the print draws attention to the fire and smoke blood and foreign uniforms.<br/> <br/>MIT Visualizing Cultures "The Boxer Uprising ll. unknown books‎

‎CHINA CULTURAL REVOLUTION TEXTILES Artists unknown‎

‎Two Monumental Hook-Work Parade Banners: Chairman Mao Reviewing The Great Army of the Cultural Revolution‎

‎Urumqi XinJiang Uyghur Autonomous Region: Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi / Xinjiang Army Divisioni 1967/8. Two extraordinary hand-crafted parade banners ca. 110" x 84" 9 feet x 7 feet one slightly smaller. Each entirely composed of hook-work with colored yarns on white muslin backing. Slight age-toning and soil; a few threads loose but no significant losses; Near Fine condition overall. Folded and stored in original velvet draw-string carrying bags as found. Both banners bear the inscription "Chairman Mao Reviewing the Great Army of the Cultural Revolution" and depict the August 1966 mass rally at Tiananmen Gate where more than 10 million Red Guards from all over China converged to express their solidarity with Mao and his second-in-command Lin Biao. Additional text on the lower banner reads "Long Live Chairman Mao for ten thousand years" and "Sailing in the ocean requires a helmsman" -- both quotes from Lin Biao. The agencies responsible for the banners are identified in lower right of each: "Cultural Revolution Committee of Xinjiang Army Division 1968" upper banner and "Cultural Revolution Committee of Urumqi 1967" lower. <br/><br/>The presence of Biao the figure to the right of Mao holding the Little Red Book in the top banner is of particular interest. Biao compiler of The Quotations of Chairman Mao popularly known as the "Little Red Book" and coiner of the phrase "Maoism" was probably more responsible than any other figure for creating the cult of personality around Mao particularly at the time of the Cultural Revolution. He quickly ascended Party ranks and was widely seen as Mao's obvious successor. But in 1971 Biao was exposed in the process of an apparent coup attempt the details of the event have never been made public. He died in an airplane crash attempting to leave China and from this point forward was officially condemned as a traitor by the Communist Party; any record of his achievements on behalf of the Revolution was expunged from the official record and any positive image of Biao would have been confiscated and destroyed as a matter of course -- suggesting either that these banners left China prior to 1971 or that they remained out of sight until some later date. The second possibility is plausible given whence the banners issued - both were created by Red Guard branches in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region an extremely remote province in China's northwest corner and for many years the center of a militant independence movement for Uyghur and other Turkic minorities. In any case the precise manner in which these banners left China will likely never be known; they surfaced at a New England antiques show in 2011.
