I am so glad I found out about this channel. I was in Dunhuang three months ago and it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. These videos are highly informative and they satisfy one of my biggest interests, which is Chinese characters and their history!
@@TheChineseAlphabet Thank you very much! I have already added many of your videos to my watch later playlist. I’ll thoroughly enjoy them, and learn a lot at the same time. Thank you so much for putting this content on RUclips, making all this knowledge accessible to everyone. I hope you are enjoying Hangzhou and that it’s as good if not better than the time you spent in Cambridge!
Yes, of course, the primers are all available in digital form. I work on the manuscripts but if you are interested in the language, you should look at nicely typeset transcriptions of those, rather than the manuscripts. For example, here is the Chinese Wikipedia page for the Thousand Character Text I also talk about in my video: zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/%E5%8D%83%E5%AD%97%E6%96%87

That’s the perfect word for Dunhuang: breathtaking. Welcome to the channel!

Great talk. Good primer you might say.
Thanks!
Yes they are definitely a technology! I am studying calligraphy and finding new love in Chinese primers & 小學
Calligraphy is really cool!
Great video! very insightful. thank you. also very interested in the topic of the Silk Road with a focus on the first century CE.
Yes, that was also a very interesting period, although obviously the transcultural dynamics were entirely different.
great presentation from a renowned scholar!
Glad you liked it!
Love your channel brother. Are any of these primers available in digital reproductions? I'd love to have some time alone with them!
