The Conquest of the Miao-Tse is a historical epic poem written by Lung, Kien in 1810. The poem tells the story of the Chinese Emperor's conquest of the Miao-Tse people, a group of ethnic minorities living in southwestern China. The poem is entitled A Choral Song of Harmony for the First Part of the Spring and is written in a traditional Chinese poetic form known as the jueju.The poem begins with the Emperor's decision to conquer the Miao-Tse people and his preparations for war. The Emperor's army marches through the rugged mountains and valleys of southwestern China, facing many challenges along the way. They encounter fierce resistance from the Miao-Tse people, who are skilled warriors and fiercely protective of their land and way of life.Despite these challenges, the Emperor's army is ultimately victorious, and the Miao-Tse people are brought under Chinese rule. The poem concludes with a celebration of the Emperor's triumph and a call for unity and harmony between the Chinese and the Miao-Tse people.Overall, The Conquest of the Miao-Tse is a powerful and evocative work of poetry that captures the drama and complexity of a historical moment in Chinese history. It is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to convey the beauty and complexity of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
