After the rule of "Governance during the Zhenguan Reign/贞观之治” By Emperor Taizong and the rule of “Governance during the Yonghui Reign/永徽之治”during the Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty ushered in a prosperous age.
During this period, more styles of women's attire appeared. At that time, women in Chang'an(Tang Dynasty capital) popularized a tall round-shaped hair bun, called the double-ring Wangxian hairstyle(双环望仙髻),and insert a long slender flower shape hairpin on this hair bun.

Emperor Gaozong promulgated order call" 建东都诏/Jiandongdu" changed the Luoyang Palace to the East capital of Tang. Since then, Tang Dynasty has opened “two capital eras”.

#OTD in 1965 – Roger Casement’s body is re-interred in Glasnevin cemetery, Dublin.
‘Self-government is our right, a thing born in us at birth; a thing no more to be doled out to us or withheld from us by another people than the right to life itself.’
Roger Casement was born at Sandycove, Co Dublin in 1864. He joined the British colonial service and was knighted in 1911 for his work on behalf of African and South American native workers who were being exploited by whites.…

What pamphlet writer are you most glad never had access to Internet blogging?
Ok this is difficult because I love arguing and I think esoteric internet drama rules so I would actually be quite happy to see most of them having had access to internet blogging... however, my answer is edward cooke, the dublin castle spy master of the 1790s who wrote various Pamphlets &c during the union debates. There are other ppl who I wish had had internet access during the union debates just because it would have been funny but there's something about cooke specifically that's just like... I KNOW his posting would have been utterly intolerable

The more I see about Our Flag Means Death on here, the more confused I am about:
what this show is actually doing
what this show is trying to do
what Tumblr thinks this show is doing (besides a Love Story For The Ages or whatever)
Anyway, I have broken down and gotten a trial subscription to the service that will allow me to find out.

Siyn I wanted to tell you about my two favorite old/obscure words:
Defenestration: the act of throwing someone or something out a window
Cornobble: to hit someone with a fish
Do with this information what you will.
I'm so happy you'd pop in to share that with me !!! I love hearing that. =D They're very cool words indeed!!!!
Did you know défenestration is actually a transparent word ? I think i first saw it at a museum when I was a kid talking about le massacre de la Saint-Barthélémy ie St Bartholomew's day massacre. It was as grim as it sounds. Basically France was divided between Catholics and Protestants and King Henri III decided to have all the Protestants massacred on that day. To that end, he uttered the famous words:
"Tuez-les, mais tuez-les tous, pour qu'il n'en reste pas un pour me le reprocher."
(Kill them, but kill them all, so that there is not one of them left to reproach me for it.)
Anyways, this Protestant dude by the name of Coligny was assassinated and defenestrated. You can see him below, to the right:
It's honestly one of the darkest moments of French history and it has a lot of those.
On the same gruesome note, Henri III's successor, Henri IV, is one of the most popular French Kings in popular culture. He was of Protestant faith but had to convert to Catholicism to claim the throne. He was known for the famous words:
"Paris vaut bien une messe"
(Paris is worth a mass)
Since Paris was the center of the royal authority and residency of the royal family (at the Louvre).
Sadly enough, and this is where I share my own little gruesome bit of French vocabulary with you, he was assassinated by an extremist Catholic by the name of Ravaillac. Ravaillac then got subjected to l'écartèlement, which is, he was quartered.
Puppet History made a really good episode on the defenestrations of Prague !!! >=D They're exactly what they sound like too
AND CORNOBBLE IS SUCH A COOL WORD LIKE WHERE HAS IT BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE
