1. How seriously did late imperial China's rulers treat their pets and/or job of archiving their everyday lives? Here're 2 registers from the No. 1 Historical Archives of the Qing royal family's cats and dogs (with names & years of birth/death). Two cats died after 9 years & one dog after 15 years.

After twenty years of field work and digital collection, there are inevitably some intriguing or truly remarkable items in my collection that I may share from time to time, including interesting samples from a variety of legal texts and judicial archives from the Qing period (1644-1911).
