De Kangxi-atlas | Mario Cams

Vlaamse pater Verbiest (1623-1688) is niet weg te denken uit het leven van Elhe Taifin khan. Zo werd hij ook gevraagd mee te gaan met het bezoek aan de Mantsjoe-bakermat in 1682. — inleiding Fresco Sam-Sin

Like our Manchu ancestors
Let us go shooting arrows
In this fickle world
There are our minute shadows
Is the arrow on your bow yet?
Is the thumb ring on your thumb yet?
Is the arrow released yet?
Where is my hunting field?
My arrow is now on my bow
My thumb ring is now on my thumb
My arrow is flying to the target
Where is my hunting field?
Let`s go shooting arrows

Mafari gurun be maktara

During the battle of Sarhv the Manchus demonstrated their superiority in the field against a vast, modern army. The Ming had massive numbers and superior firepower, while the Manchus were vastly outnumbered, relying mostly on bows, arrows, and edged weapons. DEBTELIN has two fascinating accounts of the battle at Sarhv. They give hints as to how the Manchus were able to secure a victory at such incredible odds.
