Teaching and Transformation in Popular Confucian Literature of the Late Qing The Taiping Civil War (1851–1864) was one of the most destructive wars in Chinese history, with the death toll estimated between twenty and thirty million. What visions did survivors have for restorin...

The tomb of the parents of Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Chan (Zen) stands at Guo'en Temple, Xincheng, Zhaoqing, Guangdong. He was born a short walk away in what is now called "Sixth Patriarch Village." After a lifelong association with this temple, he spent his last years and passed away here.

the thoughts are the cum of the brain

I think I'll turn that thought about evidence for empiricism in astrology into a blog post, it needs space to breathe. This happens to me a lot: the things I want to say are best said in a long format but I try to squeeze it into a tweet bc dopamine seeking.

no the only proper translation of 玄學 is DARKOLOGY

(for what its worth 'metaphysics' is what's used by fengshui practitioners to render the term into English.)

Any sustained reflection on education as a system is latent if not manifest social critique. The one exception I know of is Crazy Rich Asians, the fantastical Bildungsroman of a young Chinese-American development economist

I recall it distinctly: it was the observation that european engravers had turned 癸 into a pair of scissors

An overdue acquisition: In “The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity,” Stephanie Budin argues that the ancient practice of exchanging sex for money for a deity/temple did not actually happen, & that belief in this practice is the product of misunderstandings, wrong assumptions & bad methodology.

labour is fascist. we are living under fascism. everyone is pretending we aren’t jus bcos they have red rosettes and use polite speak.

(for the uninitiated, Chitty on contracts is one of the main books on English contract law. It has been continuously revised since it was first published in 1826. Here is the list of editors from the 1st-33rd editions)

"... in Poplett v. Stockdale Best, C. J., held, that the plaintiff, a printer, could not recover any remuneration for printing... a work of a grossly immoral and libellous nature."
- 1st Edn. Chitty on contracts

This case is mentioned in the *2019* edn of Chitty

The legal version of this is when I case is repeatedly cited without anyone bothering to read it. It doesn't happen very often. Mostly obscure points & ancient cases. I remember finding one in Stone's which had been repeated for 100 years through editions!

The Online Procedure Rule Committee has produced its first major document.

With respect, it is very ironic that something promoting “clear, simple and jargon-free” writing is so rhetorically jargon-heavy.

I’ll give one example...

(for the avoidance of doubt, I have read the thesis and found it extremely interesting. The thesis also has a chapter-by-chapter summary of the novel, which is very useful)

For what it's worth, Wang PinPin's PHD thesis www.proquest.com/openview/fbc... argues that Jiang Ziya's character arc in the Fengshen Yanyi is basically The Hero's Journey

in my experience, I have found the London A-Z atlas is better than a google maps on a bad smartphone
