It's happy birthday #otd to Sir Edmund Trelawney Backhouse (1873-1944), aka "sinologist and fraudster", aka Hermit of Peking. This telegram from him in @bodleian.ox.ac.uk sums it up, really 1/3

There have been several major East Asian librarian positions opened up this summer at major public and private institutions across the US. I'm helping CEAL maintain a webpage, where we publicize many such job postings. Please bookmark and share it: www.eastasianlib.org/newsite/cate...

新年快乐,马年吉祥 - Happy Lunar New Year, wishing you an auspicious Year of the Horse! 🐴 2026 is the year of the horse, an important motif in Chinese mythology. Our featured image is from a 16th-century album of paintings by Qian Gu (Shelfmark: MS.Chin.c.16).
Two people in traditional attire stand beside a horse under a tree. The scene is depicted in an East Asian style painting. One person holds a stick while the other is near the horse, which has a blue harness.

Learn about some significant new finds in Bodleian Libraries’ Chinese collection including an important missing page from the world’s earliest text of Cantonese opera safely hidden inside a 40-volume imperial dictionary, two leaves of a rare copper plate print album commissioned by Kangxi Emperor.

We're thrilled that National Student Survey (NSS) results for 2025 have been released & that this year's graduates have once again rated Oxford’s libraries (the Bodleian & college libraries) as the top-rated university library with 97.4% satisfaction! www.officeforstudents.org.uk/data-and-ana...
