This day, 28 March, 1905, Huang Zunxian, a reformist diplomat and poet of the late Qing Dynasty, passed away. Most of Huang’s poems related to world affairs of the time, while in one he used the Chinese words, “文明”, to mean civilisation, thought to be the first usage of the now universal saying. His anthology, “Poems of the Human Environment” (人境廬詩草), is sill popular today.
