About Bichurin

Introduction

The posting's notes and explanations, added to the text of the author and not noted specially, are shown blue in parentheses (), grammatical clarifications in angular brackets <>. In the original publication the author's comments, in contrast with his direct translations, are implied by larger offset margins, not necessarily applied consistently; the author's explanations that are clear from the contents in the posting are enclosed in distinct boxes. The author's notes in the original publication are denoted by round parenthesis 1). Page numbers are shown at the beginning of the page in blue, with associated PDF file page number. To avoid font conflicts, the Russian original is presented in modern orthography. The dates highlighted by N.Bichurin are shown in front of the respective sentence. Additional subtitles are shown in blue. The copyright for the 1851 publication expired long ago, the publication is in the public domain.

Distinct from many other historians who limited themselves to the Chinese dynastic histories, N.Ya.Bichurin also translated chronological compilations known under a name Tongjian Gangmu 通鉴纲目 (Gang-mu/Gangmu/Γΰν-μσ, Chinese General History) which supplements the narcissism of the dynastic compilations with news about surrounding peoples. Some records of the annals translated by N.Bichurin in 1830's and published in his monograph in 1850's, in the 21-st century still remain terra incognita for such scientists as H.W.Bailey (1985), J.Harmatta (1999), and C.Beckwith (2009); E.Pulleyblank, N.Di Cosmo (2002), and A.Vovin (2000), who develop their theories hopping over firm facts, and not being mentioned, the facts remained unknown to the readers of the O.J.Maenchen-Helfen monograph (1973). The detailed records of the annals completely undermine the manufactured enigma of the Huns, and of the Türkic peoples, testifying that Uigurs were a maternal dynastic tribe, and Huns were paternal dynastic tribe, thus making, generation after generation, every child an offspring of both lines. The Chinese ethnologic descriptions in the N.Bichurin's extractions reflect almost exclusive Türkic traditions, confirmed many times over by other historical sources: permanent marital paired relationship, levirate, food of meat and koumiss, equality of sexes, funeral ceremony, lateral succession, federated state, prototype of rodeo (and polo, Tr. čögän/čoɣan), linguistic and genetic relationship, cult of Tengri deity, role of shaman priests in religious practices, wolf as a primogenitor, etc. Any scientist who ignores such documentary facts, uses a flashlight of a black hole type to illumination their subject. Before N.Bichurin, the Tongjian Gangmu was used by generations of Sinologists in the translation of J. de Mailla (1669-1748), who published a fuller French translation in 12 volumes in the 18-th century: " Histoire générale de la Chine, ou Annales de cet Empire; traduit du Tong-kien-kang-mou par de Mailla", Paris, 1777-1783.
