Summary
[edit]DescriptionAttack on a Russian paddle-steamer at Shanhaiguan.jpg |
English: "Nianhua print: Attack on a Russian paddle-steamer".
"Coloured woodblock prints like this were commonly made in China to decorate houses at the New Year; they are often known as nianhua or 'New Year prints'. From the middle of the nineteenth century, nianhua were also produced as broadsheets, to be pasted on walls to bring news to an illiterate or semi-literate public. Here, popular sentiment is being stirred up against the Russians with whom the Chinese were losing negotiations over territory. The paddle-steamer has been damaged by submarine mines laid by the troops of Dong Fuxiang (1839-1908) and there appeared to be many casualties. It was Dong Fuxiang's Gansu army that subsequently attacked the Legation quarter during the Boxer uprising." The troops under w:Dong Fuxiang's command were Muslims. |
