In Popular Culture
The Manchu language was spoken in the film War of the Arrows. Ryoo Seung-ryong, cast in the role of Jyushinta, and Moon Chae-won, who played Choi Ja-in, speak Manchu often in the film.
In Anthony Trollope's novel "The Way We Live Now" the Chinese Emperor who speaks only Manchu must eat silently at a stately dinner in London given in the Emperor's honor, as nobody at the table is able to interpret Manchu into English (only Manchu into Chinese).

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“I am glad of this war. It kicks the pasteboard bottom in of the usual “good” popular novel. People have felt much more deeply and strongly these last few months.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
