Recent VN History (XIX Century): Black Flag Army, or 'Quân Cờ đen'
- Black Flag Army. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Black Flag Army (Chinese: 黑旗军; pinyin: Hēiqí Jūn; Vietnamese: Quân cờ đen) was a splinter remnant of a bandit group recruited largely from soldiers of ethnic Zhuang background, who crossed the border from Guangxi province of China into Upper Tonkin, in the Empire of Annam (Vietnam) in 1865. They became known mainly for their fights against French forces in cooperation with both Vietnamese and Chinese authorities. The Black Flag Army is so named because of the preference of its commander, Liu Yongfu, for using black command flags.
In 1857, Liu Yongfu (Vietnamese: Lưu Vĩnh Phúc), a Hakka soldier of fortune was heading a group of about 200 men within a larger bandit group of Guangxi province headed by Huang Sihong (黃思宏). He defected with his men to the band of Wu Yuanqing (Wu Yuan-ch'ing, 吳元清) under his own - black - flag. Liu organized a ceremony reminiscent of the tiandihui rituals and what will be known as the Black Flag Army was born. The "army" was operating as an independent unit under Wu Yuanqing and his son and successor, Wu Yazhong (Wu Ya-chung, 吳亞终) [1] or Wu Hezhong. Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yazhong pretended to be Taiping "princes", but there was no basis for this claim.
After the Taiping rebellion was crushed in 1864 in Nanking, the Qing army proceeded to destroy systematically the many armed bands of south-eastern provinces, particularly the band of Wu Yazhong in Guangxi. In 1865, the situation of Wu Yazhong was desperate and Liu and his Black Flag Army crossed into Upper Tonkin.
The Black Flags demonstrated their usefulness to the Vietnamese government in helping to suppress the indigenous tribes that populated the hills between the Red and Black Rivers, and Liu was rewarded with official military rank.
Secure in the backing of the Vietnamese government, Liu Yongfu established a profitable extortion racket along the course of the Red River, taxing river commerce between Son Tay and Lao Cai at a rate of 10%. The profits that accrued from this venture were so great that Liu's army swelled in numbers during the 1870s, attracting to its ranks adventurers from all over the world. Although most of the Black Flag soldiers were Chinese, many of the army's junior officers were Americans or European soldiers of fortune, some of whom had seen action in the Taiping Rebellion, and Liu used their expertise to transform the Black Flag Army into a formidable fighting force. Liu commanded 7,000 black flag soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi around Tonkin.[2]
The harassment of European vessels trading on the Red River led to the dispatch of a French expeditionary force to Tonkin under Commandant Henri Rivière in 1882. The resulting clash between the French and the Black Flag Army (the latter abetted by the governments of Vietnam and China) gradually escalated, resulting eventually in the Sino-French War (August 1884-April 1885). The Black Flags cooperated with Chinese forces during this war, most famously besieging a battalion of the French Foreign Legion in the Siege of Tuyen Quang. The Black Flag Army was formally disbanded at the end of the Sino-French War, though many of its members continued to harass the French for years afterward as freelance bandits.
Remarkably, the Black Flag Army was called into being again in 1895 by Liu Yongfu in response to the Japanese invasion of Taiwan (1895). Liu Yongfu crossed to Taiwan in answer to the appeal of his old friend Tang Ching-sung, previously the island's governor-general and now president of the short-lived Republic of Formosa, to command the Formosan resistance forces against the Japanese. Liu took a number of aging Black Flag veterans back into service to join the fight against the Japanese, but the reconstituted Black Flag Army was swept aside with ease by the Japanese Imperial Guards Division. Liu himself was obliged to disguise himself as an old woman to escape capture.
In 1873 the Vietnamese government enlisted the help of the Black Flag Army to defeat the first French attempt to conquer Tonkin, led by the naval lieutenant Francis Garnier. On 21 December 1873 Liu Yongfu and around 600 Black Flags (French: pavillons noirs, drapeaux noirs), marching beneath an enormous black banner, approached the west gate of Hanoi. A large Vietnamese army followed in their wake. Garnier began shelling the Black Flags with a field piece mounted above the gate, and when they began to fall back led a party of 18 French marine infantrymen out of the city to chase them away. The attack failed. Garnier, leading three men uphill in a bayonet attack on a party of Black Flags, was speared to death by several Black Flag soldiers after stumbling in a watercourse.Читать далее...

Recent VN History (XIX Century): Black Flag Army, or 'Quân Cờ đen'

Basic Vietnamese Herbs & Chilli in Kitchen
- An another copy from blogspot - Just to follow the previous post, from here: "http://www.leluu.com/2012/05/basic-vietnamese-herbs-in-my-kitchen.html"
The Vietnamese (from myself: first and most in kitchen and medicine !) use herbs in abundance. They don't just sprinkle a little on here and there, they use it like salad leaves and they love their herbs. The general term for herbs is "rau thơm" meaning, fragrant leaves. Full of perfume, flavour and health benefits herbs are used in almost every savoury dish I can think of. Coriander, sweet basil and mint are the most common herbs you can buy, so if in doubt or you can't find the required herbs use those.
- See Photo here:
1. Saw Tooth - Ngò Gai (Răng cưa !): Tastes like intensive coriander. Commonly used as a garnish in phở or with beef salad. If you can not get hold of this, use coriander.
2. Basil - Húng Quế: Used as a garnish in noodle soups like phở and bún bò Huế. The aniseed aroma and flavour is liquorice like and translate in Vietnamese as cinnamon basil. The leaves originating from Thailand and Vietnam oxidizes very quickly but are more fragrant and contains more flavours than others.
3. Betel Leaves - Lá Lốt: Not to be confused with betel nut chews (!), lá lốt has a pungent, minty, peppery taste and smells rather like cinnamon. These heart shaped leaves are usually used as wraps for garlicky beef recipes or in salads. substitute with shiso/ perilla leaves or vine leaves.
4. Shiso/ Perilla - Tía Tô: Earthy and bold yet very pleasant in peppery, cinnamon and fennel flavours. Often purple on one side and green on the other, it resembles stinging nettles. Also known as Japanese shiso or wild sesame. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A & C, containing minerals calcium, iron and potassium. It is commonly used in China as medicine. Tía Tô is used in salads and summer rolls and cold bún noodle dishes. Subsititute with Japanese shiso or mint.
5. Cockscomb Mint - Kinh Giới: Delicate Kinh Giới resembles minty lemon balm and used in summer rolls, salads, fish and chicken dishes as well as garnishes in noodle soup such as bún bò Huế. This is great in a tea, just seep in boiling water for a refreshing and soothing drink in the sun. Use lemon balm if you can not find cockcomb - also known as Vietnamese lemon balm.
6. Hot Mint - Rau Răm: The citrus coriander odour is reminiscent but it is not related to the mint family. There is a spicy and peppery after taste that lingers. Also known as Vietnamese coriander or Vietnamese mint. It is commonly eaten fresh and raw in salads, gỏi cuốn, as well as in some soups such as canh chua and bún thang, and stews, such as fish kho tộ.
7. Garlic Chives - Lá He (Hẹ): Also known as Chinese chives. Tastes very garlicky and used as a seasoning in soups like won ton, salad and summer rolls.
8. Coriander - Ngò (Bắc: Mùi): Fragrant, diverse and wonderful! Coriander is used liberally as a garnish, torn or chopped over salads or almost any dish! Readily available in supermarkets, corner shops. A lot of the flavour is in the stalk.

VN Good Food Abroad: Hanoi Cafe in London

VN Good Food Abroad: Hanoi Cafe in London
- Just trying to copy from a blog from here: "http://bellaphon.blogspot.in/2012/05/hanoi-cafe.html"
Sunday, 6 May 2012. Hanoi Café:
To love Vietnamese food is one thing but to gain more cognition about the Vietnamese people themselves goes much deeper than just a bowl of pho. Ever since I noticed the huge refugee camps in Malaysia housing the boat people back in the 80s, I’ve always been intrigued by my South East Asian neighbours. I knew that they were never allowed to settle in Kuala Lumpur because of the fact that the Vietnamese (primarily Buddhist) might disrupt an already awkward balance of ‘harmony’ dominated by the Muslim majority of Malaysia. Sadly the Vietnamese were perceived as yet another threatening Chinese tribe and like an additional kick in the teeth, they came bestowed with communist leanings (communism in Malaysia is defiled and illegal). Over the past three decades I've learned to respect and admire the Vietnamese British, the trauma of the 70s and 80s experienced by the first generation of the Người Việt Hải Ngoại only went further to enhance their reputation as a resilient sort. They’re hardly one to sit by idly or be spoon-fed by the State and end up perennially as spongebobs; no, they are naturally entrepreneurial and resourceful. And like the Chinese community before, the Vietnamese British have established themselves by setting up successful businesses revolving around the restaurant and food trade.
The majority of the Vietnamese folks residing in Hackney and South East London hail from North Vietnam and this is the part of the country that is also responsible for such illustrious dishes like phở, bánh cuốn and bún riêu. As Londoners, we are extremely lucky with the ever-growing number of Vietnamese eateries appearing and thankfully the food served is usually reassuringly authentic. Of course, a so-called ‘Vietnamese’ dining companion or a seasoned Hanoi traveller might snootily disagree, but I don’t give a toss because I wholeheartedly enjoy going for a Vietnamese in London every week. And lest I forget, Vietnamese cuisine found in London is definitely less approximate than its Indian, Thai or Italian equivalent!
Hanoi Café is run and owned by a North Vietnamese family. It has been around for over eight years and that’s despite its ‘homage to the 80s’ style dining room. It’s always practically empty whenever I turn up and remains the least patronised of any restaurants on the Pho Mile. This bodes well for solo diners, agoraphobic sufferers, or cynical anti-socials like yours truly. Hanoi Café obviously know a thing or two about survival by selling only six bowls of noodles daily or could it be due to the regular flow of fully-paid and ghostly diners that turns its competitors into green-eyed monsters!
The food served at this place is pretty much faultless and everyone of them delicious - See Photo here:
1 & 2. Bò lá lốt- grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves. To find out more about lá lốt and other Vietnamese herbs please click here for an indispensable read.
3. London’s cheapest soft-shell crab dish can be found at Hanoi Café.
4. 1 x chilli and salt crab at £3.50!
5. The beef pho - Beautiful broth but annoyingly let down by the cheap quality meat.
6. Bún Chả cá Lã Vọng - grilled pieces of fish then pan fried and served with bún (rice vermicelli), salad and herbs.
7. When it comes to monkfish for the masses, you cannot beat farmed catfish for its taste and value.
8. Gà kho sả ớt- chicken simmered with lemongrass in hot blistering chilli sauce.
Hanoi Café is as authentic as Vietnamese goes in London and it’s a great place to sample the holy trinity of South East Asian spices of lemongrass, chillies, and garlic. Its hidden service charge is not something that I endorse but nonetheless it’s my kinda secret tip off. Enjoy.

Статуя Будды и Монастырь По Лин. - Buddha Statue and Po Lin (Bảo Liên ?) Temple in Lantau Island, Hong Kong
- Pity: I've visited the statue only, but not yet the temple... :(
Тяньтань Будда, известен также как Большой Будда – большая бронзовая статуя Будды, расположеная в Гонконге, на острове Лантау, вблизи монастыря По Лин. Символизирует гармонию отношения между человеком и природой, между людьми и религией.
Большой Будда изумляет своей красотой и величием. Его фигура восседает на огромном раскрытом цветке лотоса – символе чистоты, ясности мысли и безмятежности.
Статуя была отлита из бронзы в Китае в прошлом веке. Внутри трона-лотоса из камня находится храм, к которому ведёт лестница из 268 ступенек.Этот храм был открыт в 1993 году.

Эротика Исода Корюсая - Erotic Paintings (Sunga) by Isoda Koryusai (1735 – 1788)
Эротика Исода Корюсая
Японский художник Исода Корюсай (Isoda Koryusai, 1735 – 1788) - один из наиболее ярких представителей гравюры укиё-э, выходец из самурайского рода. Его первые гравюры датируются 1765 годом. С 1768 года испытывает влияние стиля Харунобу, с которым его связывала глубокая и искренняя дружба. В это время он подписывает свои работы именем Харухиро. После 1770 года работы Корюсая отмечены индивидуальностью стиля. Около шестисот его работ посвящены изображениям куртизанок и актеров. Умение мастера передать орнаментальное богатство одежд привлекло внимание торговцев тканями, что обусловило появление целых серий гравюр подчеркнуто рекламного характера - "Образцы мод: модели новые, как весенняя листва", "Новогодние кимоно красавиц Ёсивары". Не меньшей популярностью пользовались эротические серии мастера. Кроме сюнга Исода Корюсай работал и в других жанрах, в частности, известны его гравюры с изображением актеров театра кабуки.

China 1st Imperator - Qin Shihuangdi (Tần Thủy Hoàng đế) and his Terra cotta Army
В III веке до н.э. в китайском царстве Цинь, родился принц Ин Чжэн, которому богами уготована была великая судьба. Уже в 13 лет он взошел на престол, а в 21 стал самостоятельным правителем.
[481x700]
В те времена Китай был поделен на 7 самостоятельных царств. Местные царьки постоянно враждовали между собой, ослабляя и разоряя свои государства.

И вознамерился Ин Чжэн стать великим правителем. Собрал он огромное войско, и захватил все соседние земли. Царей убивал, столицы сравнивал с землей, и устанавливал везде свои порядки.

Своеобразная техника в китайской живописи. Удивительные картины художника Chen Chong Ping - Chinese Ethnic Ladies etc., by Chen Chong Ping
[показать]
Китайская живопись - не обязательно тихие, спокойные акварели с изображением панд и лотосов, деревьев и заснеженных гор на горизонте. Это еще и яркие, солнечные картины с изображением... да чего угодно, что только придет в голову автору изобразить на холсте. Известный китайский художник по имени Chen Chong Ping изображает девушек. Причем девушек в национальной одежде, и нарисованы они в эксклюзивной, особенной манере автора.
