Literary critics in later dynasties struggled to reconcile the woman with the poetry, finding her remarriage and subsequent divorce an affront to Neo-Confucian morals. Ironically, between Li and her near-contemporary Liang Hongyu, the former was regarded as the more transgressive. Liang was an ex-courtesan who had followed her soldier-husband from camp to camp. Already beyond the pale of respectability, she was not subjected to the usual censure reserved for women who stepped beyond the nei—the female sphere of domestic skills and household management—to enter the wei, the so-called male realm of literary learning and public service. The fabric used is normally white fabric made of cotton or linen. The dye was originally made of natural herbs ，especially with radix isatidis root （Banlangen 板蓝根 in Chinese）that produce blue colour. White cloth is placed under the plastic sheet and the dye is painted onto the plastic, allowing the dye to flow through the plastic onto the cloth and transferring the pattern onto the paper.

For example, the pan kou, which already appeared before the Qing dynasty, [26] used knot button ornaments designed particularly for the cheongsam in this period.

It’s also used as a part of various other knots, including the Crown Sinnet and the Wall and Crown Knot. It begins with creating the dye. The dark blue color of tie dye comes from the Isatis plant. Isatis root is mixed with soda and water, stirred every day and fermented for two weeks. Then the dye is drained of excess water and the dye is ready to use. Liang grew up at a military base commanded by her father. Her education included military drills and learning the martial arts. In 1121, she met her husband, a junior officer named Han Shizhong. With her assistance he rose to become a general, and together they formed a unique military partnership, defending northern and central China against incursions by the Jurchen confederation known as the Jin kingdom.

Several papers in western states with deep-seated anti-Chinese sentiment called for continued vigilance against a flood of Chinese labor, and the Indiana Evening Gazette declared the purported prevalence of Chinese immigration fraud to blame. Footnote 121 Shifting the focus from the exempt classes to reframe the controversy as a labor issue, the San Francisco Chronicle warned of a conspiracy among Washington, Beijing, and “Eastern trade centers” to unleash a tide of coolies “to compete with and degrade American labor.” Footnote 122 Whereas the sympathetic press deployed tropes of class distinction to promote inclusion for the Kings as cosmopolitan elites, hardline exclusionists, purporting to speak for the “American workingman,” lumped all Chinese as a horde of cheap labor threatening U.S. shores. These newspaper accounts make evident how the rhetoric of class figured in ongoing debates on the Chinese Question, framed as a contest between the interests of East Coast elites versus Pacific Coast organized labor.

Wu eventually promoted Shangguan from cultural minister to chief minister, giving her charge of drafting the imperial edicts and decrees. The position was as dangerous as it had been during her grandfather’s time. On one occasion the empress signed her death warrant only to have the punishment commuted at the last minute to facial disfigurement. Shangguan survived the empress’s downfall in 705, but not the political turmoil that followed. She could not help becoming embroiled in the surviving progeny’s plots and counterplots for the throne. In 710 she was persuaded or forced to draft a fake document that acceded power to the Dowager Empress Wei. During the bloody clashes that erupted between the factions, Shangguan was dragged from her house and beheaded. Newspapers served to shape public opinion in early twentieth-century China, and many of the most influential, including Shenbao, Shibao, and The North-China Herald, were based in Shanghai, though they circulated far beyond. Kungpah King selected Shibao, which Joan Judge has called “the most influential reform organ of its day,” as a fitting organ to serialize his “Diary.” Footnote 135 Founded by Liang Qichao (1873–1929) and other leading political activists of the late Qing, the paper sought to advance opposition to the imperial regime, which they believed failed to represent China's interests on the international stage; it also had close ties to returned students from abroad. Just as Kungpah King had effectively made use of the Boston papers to publicize his perspective on Chinese exclusion and bring public attention to the incident, so he leveraged the widely-read Shibao, with the narrative form of the diary vividly dramatizing the family's ordeal. Shibao's editors, however, had their own agenda, and used editorial commentary inserted into the text to advance their view. Dedicated to promoting the interests of “the people,” as Shibao journalists defined a new citizen ideal, an editorial aside condemned the New England cotton interests’ limited support for the exempt classes, and asserted the unity of Chinese rich and poor, in direct contrast to King's own insistence on class distinctions. Footnote 136 With this clear appeal to emergent nationalism, the editor called for the outright abolition of the treaty. Footnote 137

Chinese exclusion operated, in theory, as a class-based regime that distinguished between “undesirable” and “desirable” immigrants on the basis of occupational categories and status. The Angell Treaty of 1880 enabled the United States to restrict immigration from China, but not to ban it outright. Thus, when Congress passed the Act to Restrict Chinese in 1882, it prohibited Chinese laborers while exempting other classes. These “exempt classes,” as delineated in the Act of 1884, held rights equivalent to immigrants from most-favored nations. In practice, however, officials did not always observe this fundamental class distinction, and certain actions of the U.S. government appeared designed to effect a de facto categorical exclusion of Chinese. By the turn of the twentieth century, especially after the appointment of labor leader Terence Powderly as Commissioner General of Immigration in 1897, the harassment of the exempt classes had become a source of serious friction with China. For many Chinese, the maltreatment of elites signaled that Americans held all Chinese, not merely the humble “coolies,” in contempt. So most teas (especially Green teas) are only harvested once a year in the spring. In most tea-growing areas, tea plants will bud again in the fall, and sometimes tea is made from them. But the teas produced are usually inferior in flavor. Therefore, they sell at lower prices. Why Are Autumn Tea Harvests (Usually) Inferior?

The creation of tie dye fabrics is a complex process that reflects the enduring principles of the ancient Bai culture. If the King incident had triggered a series of responses nationwide, the ripple effect carried across the Pacific too, propelling momentum for the boycott that had been building since May. Widely reported in the Chinese press, the case played the key role of “midwifing” the implementation stage of the boycott. Footnote 129 Indeed, the King incident fed directly into the hands of Shanghai boycott leaders as a “vivid example of humiliating treatment to dramatize, and they took full advantage of it.” Footnote 130 By late July, the reaction in Shanghai reached such a state that U.S. Consul James Rodgers anxiously reported to the State Department that incidents such as the King case, narrated in “garbled form” in hastily prepared pamphlets, posters, and placards, dangerously aroused the public. Footnote 131 As in the United States, then, activists used the media as a key mechanism for generating political action from the King case.

It was originally created by an Italian baker in New Jersey and was first served in a restaurant in Atlantic City. The unique shape of the dessert made it stand out from other sweets, and it soon became popular across the United States. In the 1940s, it became known as the “bow tie” dessert and has been a beloved classic ever since. The dessert typically consists of two pieces of puff pastry, filled with a creamy filling and decorated with icing. It is a popular accompaniment to coffee and tea, and is also served at special occasions such as weddings and birthdays. Chinese Bow Tie Calories The paper's condemnation of the outrage against this leading Shanghai family and its criticism of exclusion touched off a series of letters to the editor, and while some detracted, many in the Anglo-American business community saw reform as urgent. Pressing Washington through the American Association in China, they joined the AAA as allies in the ongoing Chinese quest for justice. Footnote 140 This points to the emergence of a transpacific cosmopolitan elite whose shared business and political interests transcended racial and cultural difference. The certificate mentioned in this section [six] is evidently designed to facilitate proof by Chinese other than laborers … that they are not within the prohibited class. It is not required as a means of restricting their coming. To hold that such was its object would be to impute to congress a purpose to disregard the stipulation of the second article of the new treaty, that they should be “allowed to go and come of their own free will and accord."
