<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> It is not known for certain why there is a relative scarcity of reference material written on martial arts during the Qing, the last imperial dynasty, which fell in 1911. A common explanation is that the ruling Manchus, who formed a small percentage of the empire's population, suppressed all writing on military subjects out of fear of insurgency by the Han Chinese majority [/quote]
Can this be the reason why there are no books on southern martial arts before 1911.
