- Title:
- Proclamation of Guangxu 20 (1894)
- Scope & Content:
-
A blockprint on two sheets of yellow paper (folios 10 and 11) with a decorative border of dragons. In Manchu only. The proclamation is dated Badarangga doro-i orici aniya jakūn biya juwan ninggun (ᠪᠠᡩᠠᠷᠠᡢᡤᠠ ᡨᠣᠷᠣ ᡞ ᠣᠷᡞᠴᡞ ᠠᠨᡞᠶᠠ ᠵᠠᡴᡡᠨ ᠪᡞᠶᠠ ᠵᡠᠸᠠᠨ ᠨᡞᡢᡤᡠᠨ), ie the 20th year of the reign of the Guangxu Emperor (1894), 8th month, 16th day. The proclamation is made for the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi (慈禧太后) also known by her Manchu name, Yehonala (ᠶᡝᡥᠣᠨᠠᠯᠠ). The Emperor marks the occasion by adding to the Empress Dowager's titles, by ordering sacrifices, issuing bounty and honours, and by granting a limited amnesty.
The 2 sheets may have originally been 1. These Manchu sections may have originally constituted the left side of a bi-lingual Manchu-Chinese proclamation, with the right (Chinese)side missing.
These two sheets are held together with 9 other items in 1 bound volume. On the spine is printed: 'Oriental 3534. A. (3-13). Brit. Mus. Gordon Papers. Chinese'.
