How dangerous is the turning point?

 20250402

How dangerous is the turning point?




If the United States is to bomb Iran...........


Will other countries stand up against it? 


It is a challenge for the ultimate determination.


Actually, it happened before.


The weaks will be on the side of the strongest for protection from now on.


Theories and talkings are proofed useless.


If the Iranians could have a bomb exploded inside the United States.......... perhaps the United States people will be frightened a bit.


There was never a war happened inside the United States.


They have never tasted the smell of blood.


War has become an easy game of buttons and it is always safe at home.


The situation will be changed soon.

What is the turning point?

 20250401

What is the turning point?





The whole world will know  the point if the United States is to attack Europe and Denmark for the Greenland.


Everything will be changed suddenly.


It means the United States will have nowhere to go except using force.


It means the United States is going downward,   and the meaning is not only one country going downward but the human thinking pattern will be changging to a cooperate minded status that humans will help each other but not attacking and looting.


If the United States is resorting to force and looting,  it means they are going back to the  Colonial time.


And the meaning is not only going backward,  but there is no way for the old pattern of thoughts to exist.


This will be a turning point of human thoughts and human affairs.


This is a very good  turning point.

Why are they clueless?

 20250331

Why are they clueless? 




It is the turning point of the total situation in the world political affairs.


If they are clueless,  it has got only one meaning:


They are facing a situation beyond control.


Smart people in such a situation will do only one thing:  To seek a place to sleep and hide away from dangers.


Michael Jackson would like  to sing a song from down below.........

What is the difference of the known and unknown?

20250330

What is the difference of the known and unknown?


The unknown is much, much more bigger than the known.

There are too many unknown for us to learn.

We humans can only do what we can know at the moment.

We can only do our best to survive.

We are knowing more and more. But still it's not enough.

The most important knowledge for humans is not science.   Science can solve only a very small part of our problem.

The most important knowledge for humans is how.

How are we going to live on this planet?

For the moment, we know the first answer is by  cooperation.

We are surviving as a whole, not as a single individual.

We can be much smarter as a whole when we think.

The unknown is not controllable.

We can only control ourselves.

Politics is important in our life.

With good politics we can unite together to handle many or only a little of the human problems.

That is all we can do.

We need to fight against the foolishness of thoughts and its influence.

It is a great job for our time being.

How important is Qi?

20250329

How important is Qi?





Perhaps this is the most neglected issue for the modern people,  including both the East and West.

 

Qi is a composing energy. 


Qi can help in many subjects. Qi can help musicians,  writers,  composers, science explorers......to create.  Qi can help to bring up ideas into a masterpiece.  


Qi is the major energy for thoughts......  Qi can help composing:  not only composing music,  but compose all forms of data


Qi is an healing power.  But it is always neglected by needy person.


Qi is a last resort if people are dying.......and the healing effect could be seen easily in daily life.


Qi could be a major power other than "science" to push up economy.   Qi might not be like a  commodity,  but still it is important in Chinese medicine:   deep studies are urgent.

How some AI machine could be misleading?

20250328

How some AI machine could be misleading? 




I asked an AI machine in HK(not the deepseek)

the following question:

"Is profit the standard by which everything is measured?"(利益是否衡量一切的標準?)  


It seems they cannot know the difference between the individual aspect or the grand view from all humans.


No matter the person is an unknown individual or a big tycoon,  the asnwer could be the same if they have the same wisdom:


When you measure interest or profit,  you measure it from the higher aspect of the grand total of everything..........







Following is the answer from the AI Machine:


The question "Is profit the standard by which everything is measured?" invites a deep exploration of values in economics, business, and society. Here are a few points to consider:


Economic Perspective: From a traditional economic viewpoint, profit is often seen as a primary indicator of success for businesses. It reflects efficiency, market demand, and resource allocation. However, an exclusive focus on profit can lead to short-term thinking and neglect of broader impacts.


Social Responsibility: Many argue that measuring success solely by profit overlooks important factors such as environmental sustainability, social equity, and community well-being. Businesses increasingly face pressure from stakeholders to balance profit with social and environmental responsibilities.


Quality of Life: In a broader societal context, focusing solely on profit can undermine quality of life. Issues like healthcare, education, and community welfare often require investments that may not yield immediate financial returns but are crucial for long-term societal health.


Alternative Metrics: Some organizations and movements advocate for alternative metrics, such as the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) or social return on investment (SROI), which consider broader impacts alongside financial performance.


Philosophical Considerations: This question also touches on ethical and philosophical considerations about the purpose of business and the role of profit in human life. It raises questions about values, purpose, and what we prioritize as a society.


In summary, while profit is a significant measure of business success, relying on it as the sole standard can lead to negative consequences. A more holistic approach that considers various dimensions of impact may provide a more balanced view of success.

What if you're scared of nothing?

20250327


What if you're scared of nothing?





If death threats cannot threaten you,


You can go forward to achieve something you like.


Are there any other threats worse than death?


One  homosexual singer chose to jump when he couldn't endure the suffer.


Another singer Maria Callas chose death when she found there was no one to love.... forgetting her huge assets.


Death is not the most terrible thing.


Most terrible is not failure in love or any other problems.


Most terrible is losing the ability to think.


It is worse than death.

What is the meaning of individual death?

20250326

What is the meaning of individual death?


There are all kinds of death, countries will die,   species will die,  and even the planet will die.


The Chinese people are lucky,  they can keep their country for a very long time.  Some other countries are not so lucky,  they can be perished due to war or weather or other circumstances.


There might be a history to study and there might be a future to explore.   They are interesting and important.


Yet the question could be really simple and easy.


Put it in one line is like this:


What are we going to do?


It is important not to make it too simple.


As the question could be in another form: What am I going to do?


When you put all the burdens on the shoulders of one individual,  the answer is difficult.


Yes, I can do something,   and I can do more in the context of a bigger being.


The being could be your country or your species.


When you know what you're doing,   you are certain to know what you're dying for.


The concept of death is  easy to be confused.


It seems many deaths are individual.


It seems the life of a certain one is not important.


That is not true.


Individual dying is a phenomenon for the whole species.


If we put more concentration on the species rather than the individual,   we could be  much happier,   because we are doing things as a whole  and we are dying together.


Do not be fooled by the phenomenon of an individual death.


We are all living like a species and we are all dying like a species.


Individual deaths are like individual leaps.


Life is like a river flowing forward.   And you are one of the fish swimming in the  river.   Sometimes you would like to leap up to the air to fly a few steps more than other fishes,  and then you fall again.


It is what?


It is individual death.


You're just leaping forward.


It is a concept very easy to build up.


Please refer to my yesterday idea about leaping.


You'll be happy and scare of nothing.

胡適因何被一再吹捧?




胡適有甚麼學問? 
…………………………………*李察
(問到底 No.7958  2010 1129  )
  
    *周一人物* 

  嚴格講,胡適是沒有學問的。任何一個嚴肅的學者,倘若拿出胡適的全部著作來看,就能看見,胡適對於中國文化,一點貢獻都沒有。
 
  五四時期的知識份子提倡文學革命。要打倒傳統文化,要廢除古文,等等。當時的胡適,是運動的前鋒人物。他是第一批提倡用白話文寫作的人。其實,白話文並不是新事。《紅樓夢》就是白話文寫的。比較新鮮是「白話詩」。胡適的白話詩作品,大約今日的人已經完全忘記。因為,胡適的「詩」裡,沒有美的吸引力。
 
  但是,胡適卻可能是擁有最多學位的人。他擁有的博士學位,共有三十五個。全世界共有三十五家大學,不約而同,爭著頒送博士學位給他。今時今日,誰能擁有更多的博士名銜?相信沒有人。
    
  到底胡適的吸引力何在?為何世界上的這些大學,如此重視他?
 
  值得研究的,不是胡適本人的學問。而是這一批知識份子,如此力捧胡適,背後的意義何在?
 
  胡適本人的學問,其實只有四個字。他主張的是:「全盤西化」。這是跟今日的某些人很相似的。今日的某些人,雖然不再提「全盤西化」這四字,但在提到政治問題的時候,總是希望照抄美國全部的政治結構。完全不用觸及西方文化的基本問題,更無視工業革命以來,西方的重大偏向。對於西方文化造成的貧窮問題,污染問題,能源問題,全不研究,全不探討。對於從西方來的享樂主義,反智主義,物質主義,一點都不觸及。如果你還要提及甚麼甚麼的「愛」和「博愛」,他會教訓你,要提倡多些 sustainable value。他如果你對他.講,西方文化是外在的,而外在傾向不可能解決文化的衝突。他也不會口啞無言。因為,他以為,這就是「務實」。而且,好像胡適所講:「多談些問題,少提些主義。」大約是,照抄了西方的全部政治架構,問題就不存在了。
   
  而這仍是不重要的。胡適自己的甚麼主張,是全不重要的,是不值得研究的。
 
  重要的是:力捧他的那三十五間大學,到底是無聊的學者們在「跟風」呢,還是有人在背後扯線,有計劃地把中國文化推向某一方向?這才是值得研究的。
 
  希望這種想法是錯的。是絕對不可能有人在背後扯線的。因為,如果真是有人在扯線的話,就意味著,最近差不多一百年來的西方學術界,以美國為首的西方學術界,是不自由的。
  
  而這是有心人不能不注視的。因為,如果你說,極權國家是不自由的,大約很多人同意。如果你說,自由國家也是不自由的。那就是問題很嚴重了。地球是不自
由的地球,那麼,各種重大問題,如何解決?


註:本文的讀者有限,自從五四時代到現今,文化界中的種種大問題,青年人未必知道了。想不到的衹是,最近有所謂「網紅」,在盡力吹捧胡適,不知居心何在。難道他們都沒有讀書的嗎?難道他們都是黑暗勢力的卒子?
          
又:另一個問題也和胡適有莫大關係。紅樓夢的作者問題至今未決,紅樓夢的真正意旨至今未為人知:  也因為胡適的意見己被當作定論了。

Can anyone go to the future to see?

20250325 

Can anyone go to the future to see?


I guess no one can go to the future to see something.

And no one from history can come back to see the world now.

Actually, it is none.

There were many kings and leaders who had deep concerns about the world, yet they never come back.

If they come back,  will they be confused?

May be no.

Because humans are in the same old track.

If you were doing something,  and then you leap forward*,  and the thing is still there waiting for you to join in,   you'll be doing the same thing.........

It will be more easy to tell it in the daily situations.

If you were in love with someone.....now you were dead for 500 years,  and you live again to find you're still in love.

The roles had changed, yet the drama goes on.

Can you say you are the same one five hundred years ago?

Because all the connections are different..... your name, your family, your everything is different. 

Can you say you are you?

According to an old Chinese legend story:

When you were dead, you need to drink a kind of  medicine soup(忘湯) to take away all your memory and then you can go to the other world or coming back to this world......but you are new.

I guess if one lost his memory he will build up his concerns very quickly...... he needs eat to survive and love to  communicate.  He will be living like any other guy.

But the question is:

Why can't anyone live again?

Why life is once and only once?

Why it is so important to have a limit to someone's living time?

Why no one can live eternally,  yet the total of  living beings seem to live very long?

The only answer could be:

We all need to treasure our life and our time,  do not waste it.

All of us need to do something.

Because your deeds are you.




note

Dying is leaping forward:  I hope it is real. Because if anyone dies,  his deeds are still here.  Though he needs to "re-compose" himself or herself to have a new life.

What does it mean? 

It means if your life is for you to do something,  you will not be frightened to stop your work.   No one can finish his work in a lifetime,  but he might have a chance to leap forward to work again.

What is the temporary explanation of life?

 20250324

What is the temporary explanation of life?


Life is not easy to understand.  We humans can not understand life in this age.   

The more difficult part is about our own life.

It seems to be easier to understand the life of a chicken or a flower or even an elephant.

I have talked with an elephant once.   I told the  elephant that I love him.  I found tears in his eyes suddenly and it shocked me.

Maybe the elephant understood life more than me.

But still I cannot understand life.

I can only think of some temporary explanation.

What is life?


A temporary explanation:

You are what you do;  you are what you did;  You are what you will be doing.

If you built a house.

Then you're the house.

If you loved someone.

Then you are that someone.

If you collect money.

Then you are the money.

And will you have a future?

Yes, your future is what you will be doing.

In this sense,  in this temporary sense,  everything is not perishable.

You will always be there together with your deed.

Deeds are not perishable.

Because deeds are the force to link up the universe.

A grass is linked up with the soil.

You're linked up with your father and mother.

And you are linked up with all the things you have been doing.

Life is a natural linkage between  everything.

Life is not only the deeds.

Life is the action to put the deeds in its way.

Life is a force to carry out all sorts of deeds.

If there is no deeds, there will be no life.

This is a simple and temporary understanding about life.

Can tariff help?

 20250323

Can tariff help?


Many economists have studied it.

It is almost useless in helping the economy.

The question is in another place.

What if the United States economy is weakened in four years' time?

There is not enough pressure in the United States to stop it.

The United States will be going down.

Question is,  if the economy is down,  who will be winning?

Who will take away all the money from the coming disaster?

Most likely is the secret underground economy groups in the United States: they have all the power to control the United States politics,  yet they are not stopping the trend.

Why?

They are extremely smart persons, maybe they have some other considerations.

Outsiders are worried that it is killing the hen to obtain eggs.

Why the green is still there?

 20250322

Why the green is still there?



I was excited when I saw it yesterday from a tree on Hong Kong Island.


It is different from a painting.   You can buy a painting and keep it at home.  But the leaves will be gone in a few days.


I don't know why I'm so happy to see this light green.  I treasure every moment of it. 


I have one even better color in my memory.


It is at the East end of the Hong Kong Island harbour.


Every year before the Ching Ming festival, light green leaves will appear.


It is very different from the one yesterday.


Yesterday, I saw a tree totally covered with light green leaves.


But the tree near the East harbour is different.


The darker old leaves were still there from last year.


The new leaves just shot out like a baby among the old.


Maybe it is the contrast that brings in the special feeling.


If there is no contrast from last year,  how can I discover this new one?


They are not flowers, I cannot take one to keep it.


I can only keep it in my memory.


It is mine forever.


And I am a little proud of myself.


I haven't lost my chance.


Someone from somewhere has given me this chance.


I haven't missed it.


When I saw many others passing by, I treasured my leaves more.


Those were very happy people, with a bliss of ignorance on their faces.


Maybe there's one out of a trillion can be a really rich person.

How deadly different is the AI writing from human?

 20250321

How deadly different is the AI writing from human?




It must be careful to distinguish the two.  AI writing is non-human.


What's so bad about non-human thing?


As a human, when you write,  it is your experience, it is your feeling.  It is about a living soul,  it might be related to the beauty of many things and thoughts.  


It is a taste.


And taste is not a simple thing.   It is a long term accumulation.  Each one human has special finding in life. It cannot be imitated.

A machine might imitate voice,  but it cannot imitate  taste.

A future AI machine can copy and analyse all your experience and try to imitate someone similar in writing.

But your creation might not be from the history of your life.   It might be an instant feeling.   You cannot know what you will write the next minute.

It is your special self and your special gift.

A machine cannot imitate your soul.

Because a machine is not a life.  

A machine has no soul.

The following is an AI translated article from my yesterday work.

It is not me.

It's the character of machine, but not human.

It is tasteless.


And this is a true issue for the modern society.

More and more people are writing and thinking like machines.

They have less taste or no taste in life.

They cannot think like a human, yet they are human.

They are logical and more or less left-brained.

Because they have less feeling, they cannot see the grand picture.

They are only acting accordingly.

According to what?

According to non-human formulas.

It is a major difference.

Some people are living in formulas.

Some people are not living in souls.

It is deadly.

For the meantime,  reading horizontally and writing in simplified forms in Chinese language might not be the result of machines but under influence from pure logical way of formulas.


How can styles be simplified?  It seems only  words are simplified,  but the result is more than that.  


Mechanical  styles in writing can further push young brains away from a balanced human soul.


One can re-think the Taiwan issue from this aspect.


They are living in the original forms of Chinese life in the island.


It's a completely different "taste".


How are things going to happen?


Future culture scenario cannot be imagined by AI machines..........


but humans can.

The following is my yesterday article re-written by an AI machine.


如何溝通?


春天又來了,這是香港最美的時節。


許多年前,我爸爸告訴我:如果木棉花落到地面,冬天就真的結束了,再也不會冷了。


我偶爾會想起爸爸的話。這些話語珍貴而難忘。每當春天來臨,我都會想起爸爸的話。


此刻,春天再次來臨。對我來說,這是一個難得的享受時光。


我能與這些花朵溝通嗎?還有樹上那特別的綠色陰影?


這種綠色一年只出現一次;再過幾天,那淡淡的綠色就會消失。


我幾乎無法準確地描述這種特別的綠色。


我也無法用畫筆描繪它。我只知道,如果我拿起相機,所有的美麗都會消失。


我只能把這種美存在我的記憶中。


我突然想到,我該如何與大自然溝通呢?


我常常希望能與萬物溝通,不僅僅是與自然的花草交流,還有它們背後的精神。


我也想與人溝通。


摯愛之人的內心感受經常在無聲中交流。


在一瞬的靜默中,內心的感受常常浮現。


那未知的交流不斷流動,雖然我可能並不總是察覺到。


條件是要保持安靜。


不要抱有任何期望。


內心的交流是無形的。


也許有一天我能達到更多,但現在我的能力還不足。


雖然有時我能不經意地理解。我應該感激那些看不見的啟示。


我相信每個人都是一樣的。


唯一要做的就是不要刻意去尋求。當理解的時刻來臨時,就像一滴水落入你的心中;你會明白。


然後,一切自然而然地浮現出來。

How to communicate with everything?

 20250320

How to communicate with everything?  


 


It is springtime in Hong Kong.   It might be the best time in Hong Kong.


My father told me many years ago:  if cotton tree flowers are dropping on the ground,  then winter is really gone, there won't be cold anymore.


It is wonderful to remember the words from my father.   I can remember it every time when spring comes.


What am I going to do if  spring comes?


It is a rare moment I can enjoy.


Can I communicate with all these flowers? And the special kind of green color from the trees?


This kind of green comes only once a year,  a few days later,  the very light green will be gone.


I can think of no other words to tell you about this special kind of green.


And I cannot use colors to draw it.  If I pick up my camera,  all the beauty will be gone.


I can only keep it in my memory.


It occurred to me suddenly.


How am I to communicate with nature now?


I wish to communicate with everything. Not only nature, but the spirits behind.


I wish to communicate with humans.


I think I can know some of the inner thoughts from my love ones.


I can communicate with them without my own knowledge.


I was doing the same.  Then I knew there were unknown communications going on.


The only thing is that it needs to be really quiet.


And have no intention to do anything.


Inner  communication cannot be willful.


May be one day I can do it,  but now my power of communication is not enough.


I'm really satisfactory if I can know something without intention.


And I believe everyone can do the same.


The only secret is that it needs not to have any intention.


Then happenings might be  floating.


如何溝通?  

20250320  




如何溝通?  



又是春天了,這是香港最美麗的時光。  


許多年前,爸爸告訴我:如果木棉花落在地上,冬天就是真的過去了,不會再冷了。  


我偶然都會記得爸爸的説話。那些說話想起來,都是珍貴非常,不會忘記的。每一次春天來臨,爸爸的說話都會浮現。


此刻,春天又來了。 真是我難得的享受時光。  


我能與這些花朵溝通嗎?還有樹上那種特別的綠色?  


這種綠色一年只出現一次,幾天後,那淡淡的綠色就會消失。  


我簡直無法確切描述這種特別的綠色。  


我也不可能用畫筆來描繪它。我只知道,如果我拿起相機,所有的美都會消失。  


我只能把這一種的美,留在記憶之中。  


我忽然又想到,可以怎樣與大自然溝通呢?  


我常常希望與萬物溝通,不僅僅是大自然的花花草草,還有那背後的靈氣。  


我還想與人溝通。  


摯愛者的內心,許多時都是默然互通的。


在無聲無息的一刻,往往會出現一種內在的感覺。


未知的溝通在不斷流動, 雖然我也未必察覺。


條件是要寧靜。  


不要有所企盼。  


內在的溝通是無形的。  


也許有一天我能做到多一些,但現在我的功力不夠。  


雖然有時我也能夠在無意中明白的。我該感謝冥冥中的無形啟示吧。  


我相信每人都一樣。  


唯一是不要刻意尋求。 該明白的時候,就會好像一滴水滴進心房那樣,你會知道。


然後,一切都會自動浮上來的。

How to help a clueless guy?

 20230319

How to help a clueless guy?




It could be a very bad situation if a writer found he was clueless in his drama.


This was the feeling when I was watching the Ne Zha film.


It was quite long and lengthy at the end.   It seems the writer could not provide more clues for the fighting and the actors could only put on more strength to beat the enemy.


Nothing is new in the fighting.


It is same in car racing. If the guy wants to speed up his car,  he can only push the pedal more, more, and more.


It was the only action he could take if he was clueless.


Life is same with drama.


There are different stages for the story to go on.


First, you need to have a feeling.   You  felt something important that you need to produce the total of it.


Then you have a theme. 


The theme is your spirit or your "message".  You want to deliver your message in a spirit of importance.   It is so important that you feel you need to use your blood  as ink to write it down;  you will not regret if your blood is all used up.   You are putting your life in your message.


Well, now you're not a writer.   You are only a CEO of something.   And the situation is the same.   You will always wish to use your own blood to do things.


Other CEOs might think otherwise,  but they are nothing in your concern.


You just felt you are your product that your theme or your spirit is so important  now you need to release them all.   It is the same as a flower struggling against the shells of the seed.   She wants to break outside.  No matter what, she wants to come out.


Now she is eligible for a real CEO.


But still it is not enough.


She needs a plot.


She needs a plot to show her mind.


A lot of film directors wanted to employ a higher paid screenwriter to write down his own plot.


Or to use a storyline to show his own mind.


He was too busy to do it himself.  He wants to buy some help.


Can it be brought?


Well, it depends on your luck.


If you are given some kind of luck,  if you're the guy who deserves to have such a gift,  you might employ a better screenwriter.


Or else you have to do it yourself.


This is the importance of a plot.


And a plot is an outline.   A really detailed outline.


And now it comes to the stage of  clues.


If the secret agent is to pull out a gun, where would he get the gun from?


Will he need to get it from the shoes?  The ceiling?  Or the water tank in the toilet?


It is really not important for a skillful dramatist.


Important is how to avoid a situation of being clueless.


If they know only how to "add oil" or push the fuel pedal, they will fail the test and die.


Why is it so important for a better clue?


Actually, it is not important at all.


If the actor lost a button in his dress,  he can forgive the tailor.


If he lost all buttons from his dress,   he can only blame himself.


The actor might be soulless.


The actor might have no theme or no message at all.


Its all about a simplified choice of the clue,  the plot and the theme.


It could be more interesting if we change a way to study them.


It is not the clue, the plot, and the theme.


It is the Jing,  the Qi and the Spirit.


These are terms in Chinese medicine and Chinese classic.


It is so difficult for Western people to know them.


And it is the same at the level of international politics.


If you find someone lost in a clueless situation,  if you find someone is having no "Jing" at all,  if he can only point his tariff at everything like a cowboy with his toy gun.....


It is the best chance to beat him.

Why there is a sudden ugliness?

 20250318

Why there is a sudden ugliness?



 The American political culture has been changing suddenly.   Everything has become naked.   All overcoats has been taken off.    They don't mind to show you dirty things.


A  culture of 250 years has been changing quickly.


It seems the  American culture has no way to stop  things happening.


It was said that the American culture has a heritage of democracy or something.   Yet a really bad dictatorship has been in charge.


The philosophical aspect is not important.


Important is the things going to happen.


Will there be a savage war  to take over the Greenland and Panama?


There might be a  war,  or a more dirty trade of ugliness which is worse than a savage act of war.


The question is:  how are the world people to accept all these?


How can the world swallow it?


If you swallow  it  this time,   how are you to swallow it next time?


Can the world people turn their faces and pretend not to see it? 


Can business be going on as usual when  protests are only words?


Can the world be united and do some real thing for the future?



.................


If the questions cannot be answered,  future children might need to know why it happened.


The sudden change is due to one thing:


One very imporyant thing:


All other aspects of life has been deleted.


Only the left-hemisphere- subjects remain:


Only economies and  technologies are in charge when all other studies has become redundant.


Religion is a drama show. Music is for swinging bodies.   Literature is a thrilling entertainment.  Painting is a commercial item.


Actually, it's only one thing remains.


It is money and money only.


There will not be fresh air and forest in the future.


There will be no babies coming:   Because there will be no marriage and no love in everyone.


It is terrible,  but if we do not take it serious this time, we will swallow it later.

Why silence is a must?

20250317

Why silence is a must?




When you are waiting

When you are watching

When you are listening

When you are weeping

When you are laughing


When they are showing

When they are conspiring

When they are careless

When they are naked

When they are not in words


You need not to say anything

Because 


You are aiming

And


The world is waiting

How big will the United States get?

 20250316

How big will the United States get?




Will they be getting bigger and bigger? It is all easy targets for them.

Greenland, Canada, and Panama are all targets without resistance.

The world map will change color quickly.

They can change the world map by only words:   If they say it's the Gulf of USA then it will be the Gulf of USA.  May be there will be a Globe of USA sooner or later.

The United States will be bigger than Russia, China, Canada, and any other large countries.

Will a "big" country be the boss on earth?

If the map is so easily changed, it seems everything is easy too..............

How Sun Yat-sen thought about Confucianism?

  20250315

How Sun Yat-sen thought about   Confucianism?



An old article:

"What Kind of Psychological Construction Do Chinese People Need?"


The most brilliant aspect of Sun Yat-sen's philosophy is that it recognizes the urgent need for psychological construction among Chinese people: the importance of valuing knowledge.


In his "Principles of State Building," the first chapter is dedicated to "Psychological Construction." He believed that the most crucial psychological construction for Chinese people is to break free from the Confucian shackles of "easy to know, difficult to act." Sun Yat-sen opposed Wang Yangming, as the saying "easy to know, difficult to act" represents a fatal flaw that has long held back China. Confucianism asserts that knowledge is not important; action is what matters. This is because Confucianism believes that knowledge is already contained within its classics, and one merely needs to memorize them. Confucianism holds that behavior is paramount. What kind of behavior is most important? It is obedience, compliance, and following orders. Sun Yat-sen placed psychological construction as the first chapter in his state-building strategy because he believed it is more important than material construction.


What is surprising is that today in Taiwan, although Sun Yat-sen's photo still hangs, Wang Yangming's philosophy prevails, and there is even a whole mountain named Yangming Mountain, completely disregarding Sun Yat-sen's earnest opposition to Confucianism.


Even more astonishing is that in present-day Hong Kong, the statue of Sun Yat-sen in the Sun Yat-sen Museum is depicted with a queue (braided hair). Sun Yat-sen opposed feudalism throughout his life, yet the people of Hong Kong have erected a statue of him with a queue, placed right at the entrance of the museum. Perhaps they truly have a fondness for queues, finding them beautiful. Additionally, among the books sold in the museum's gift shop, there are even those suggesting that Sun Yat-sen had some "Confucian complex."


Sun Yat-sen's three major principles—"The world belongs to the public," "Universal love," and "The pursuit of knowledge"—are all directly aimed at Confucianism, yet it seems that people overlook this.



中國人需要何種心理建設?

中國人需要何種心理建設?
……………………………………….*李察
(問到底No.7998 2011 0108 Saturday)
 
  孫中山學說最精彩的地方,就是看到了中國人所迫切需要的心理建設:必須重視求知。
 
  孫中山在《建國方略》中,第一章就是「心理建設」。他認為,中國人最需要的心理建設是:擺脫儒家的「知易行難」枷鎖。孫中山反對王陽明。所謂「知易行難」,是儒家令中國長期落後的致命點。儒家主張知識不重要,行為才重要。因為儒家以為,知識都已經在儒家經典裡備妥了,只要背熟就是。儒家認為,行為最重要。甚麼行為最重要呢?就是服從、聽話、照辦。孫中山把心理建設作為建國方略的第一章,就是認為,心理建設,是比物質建設更重要的。
 
  令人驚訝的只是,今日台灣,雖然仍掛著孫中山的照片,但陽明哲學大行其道,還有一整座的陽明山。無視孫中山反對儒家的一片苦心。
 
  令人更加驚訝的還有:今日香港,在孫中山博物館中的孫中山像,竟是留辮的。孫中山一生反對封建,但今日的香港人,為他造了一座留辮像,放在博物館的正門前。或者他們真是對於辮子情有獨鍾,覺得美麗的。而館中小賣部所販賣的圖書中,竟有認為孫中山是有甚麼「儒學情結」的。
 
  孫中山的三大主張,包括「天下為公」、「博愛」、「求知」,都是完全針對儒家的,但這些人們,好像看不見。

What is the best spirit in Taiwan?

 20250314

What is the best spirit in Taiwan?




The best spirit in Taiwan is the spirit of Sun Yat-sen.


However, the spirit of Sun yat-sen is wilfully covered for many years.


If his spirit is known for everyone, Taiwan issue is settled.


Sun Yat-sen is a hero in the history of China. He is selfless. He knew the problem of the Chinese cuture. He said the main problem is 知難行易*. But the idea is changed secretely into the opposite.   That's all the problem of the bureaucracy in Taiwan.


The spirit of  Sun Yat-sen is a light. Once it was uncovered,  people in Taiwan will know what to do.



*知難行易:-- 

 "knowledge is difficult, action is easy." It needs to put all efforts in finding the problem of knowledge. 

Knowing what to do is the first priority.  

If the direction is clear,  then action is possible and easy.  All action will be useless and harmful if the direction was wrong. This is the main concern of Sun Yat-sen.

Why bullying doesn't mean "great"?

 20250312

 Why bullying doesn't mean "great"?






The act of bullying means weakness.


Truly strong people will never bully others.


They are helpers, defenders but never bullyist.


It shows only the inner weakness of those who bully others.


Why they want to bully Panama?


Why they do not honor their own words or the will of other U.S. presidents?


The situation of Panama was signed by other president who was elected by the American people.  If the elections are not honoured,  it doesn't mean "great" .  


Although they can regard  another country as a colony,  it only proves deeper weakness.


And political weakness shows economy weakness.


Downward trend of the United States will be shown in its economy.


It will come faster than expected.

How to launch a satellite?

 20250311

How to launch a satellite?




The gravitation will help, if you are flying this way:


Flying in the same direction  with the planet earth.


Traditional way of launching a satellite is flying up vertically,   and that means you have to fight with the gravitation.


Now you are flying in the same direction of gravitation.


You can launch it from the higher atmosphere.





note:

 A satellite needs not be launched on the ground.


 A satellite can be launched on the high atmosphere with a plane......only that the plane is actually a rocket and the rocket engine can be started on the higher atmosphere; 


the satellite could be launched with the height  achieved by the rocket......


 and the plane can fly back afterwards needing not to be burnt and wasted.


 There might be one hundred reasons again that it is not achievable.   However, there might be one more young man could do it.   Because the young man knew the value of a good idea,  and he can try again many times.


 The problem is who will invest on such a crazy idea?


The problem might not be money but  perseverance: 


Winning is possible.

Why health is not necessary a moral problem?

 20250310

Why health is not necessary a moral problem?





If health is related to moral,  then the world will be much easier as all bad people were gone long ago.


Why some "bad" people can be healthy,  while some "good" people die early?


Moral and health are not related.  Maybe it is the idea from the creator.  


Sometimes bad living habit could be the result of a bad moral,  its the habit that hurts the health, not the moral.


And good moral people can have bad living habits, too.


There might be lots of secrets about health that we don't know.


Advises from medical people may be helpful sometimes,  but there is no absolute guarantee with it.


One thing I believe is the inner urge.


If there is an extremely strong inner urge  that you want to do something, you might have a strong mind to help you keep a good health.


The so-called "something" here,  doesn't necessarily be related with moral.


It might be related to the "will" of the universe of growing.


What is it?


It is a blessing.

How valuable are the creative ideas?

 20250309

 How valuable are the creative ideas?


 The values are on  perseverance.


 Sometimes it's just like a glimpse of thoughts.


 It's just like a wind or smoke, they can be blown away easily.


 But in the minds of perseverance,  it is gold.


 Why the creative ideas cannot be kept on?   It is because technical people and creative people are not the same one.


 Technical people are always busy.   They have lots of work to do.  They couldn't handle all the ideas.  It will not be easy for the creative ideas be realised.


 Lots of the creative ideas were lost this way.


 It needs communication and leadership to handle this problem.


Its best for the creative people and technical people living in the same factory.


 It must be a factory of idea creation plus production.


 If there is a creative idea about a long time flying or floating object,  which can be a huge network on the high  atmosphere and old  satellite  communications  could be replaced........  change in the whole world will happen.


 Technical people can list one hundred reason why it doesn't work.  But when the one hundred and one young man with perseverance come,  he will change everything.


 It needs a good teacher to bring in this new young man.


 The following is another dream about satellite launching.


 A satellite needs not be launched on the ground.


 A satellite can be launched on the high atmosphere with a plane......only that the plane is actually a rocket and the rocket engine can be started on the higher atmosphere;  the satellite could be launched with the height  achieved by the rocket...... and the plane can fly back afterwards needing not to be burnt and wasted.


 There might be one hundred reasons again that it is not achievable.   However, there might be one more young man could do it.   Because the young man knew the value of a good idea,  and he can try again many times.

When the cockroaches spread their wings, will there still be sunshine on the road?

 20250308

When the cockroaches spread their wings, will there still be sunshine on the road?



When the concerns are limited to only science and economy,  it will be same as the wings of the cockroachs.


It is two dimensional.


The concern never reaches history or other parts of human culture.


They don't know what had happened,   and they they don't know where to go.


There is no other feelings besides money.


There will be no music, no literature, no souls.


Money is constituted by  scientific data like atoms and nothing else.


It is important to have two wings.


If they have got only one wing of economy,  or one wing of science,  they couldn't fly.


Now they are up on the sky.


Now you see cockroaches are flying high to cover the roads.


Some people are scared.


They didn't know what to do.


They don't want to "irritate" the cockroaches........

Is manpower really redundant?

 20250305

Is manpower really redundant?




You'll be extremely happy if you can see into the very essence of this problem.


There was a time when human efforts were restrained.


Most of the people in their lifetime have one job only.


It means they can use only a really small part of the brain on the job.


If they have two jobs,  their brain will not be enlarged,  but the parts they use are doubled.


If everybody on earth can double using their brain,  you can expect a completely new era has come.


Some people, for example, an accountant clerk in the past can only do simple calculating job with a pencil for their whole life.


They couldn't do other jobs and couldn't develop their brains. 


If more people can do more jobs,  if more people can develop more brains,  if more people can do something more than manual labor or simple calculation or simple typing...... there was a job before,  you call them typist, they can only type for their whole life to earn a bare living.


What does it mean?


It means the society is not wise enough.


The society will be simple and steady, they cannot handle the coming problems.


Now we can turn an ankle to study the problem.


What if many people can do a variety of jobs and push up their brains into a better stage?


The country will be much clever than before.


If the average people are clever,  they will soon find a way out.


In the old times, you can have only one boss and one job  for your whole life.


Can you change a little bit for this?


Are you bold enough to think more?


Can you find two bosses and two jobs simultaneously?


Will you be allowed to work two jobs on the same day?


Maybe you can go for one boss in the morning and the other boss in the afternoon?


It is not a problem for individuals.


It is a problem for the whole country.


If people were allowed to do so,  the country will be smarter.


There will be huge difficulties ahead.


We need to be smarter.


We need to develop our brains fully.


A Booming Age is coming.

If manpower has become redundant, whoes fault is it?




It is a serious problem not for the future but now.


Someone has said painfully that he can finish his work within one hour,  but he have to pretend working for the whole day.


Many of the manpower could be replaced by computers.


You can fire them all,  if you put all the blame on them.


The economic structure of the modern society needs to handle the problem quickly before a complete breakdown of itself.


Manpower has become redundant.  Manpower has  been replaced by computers.


Who can give them work?


Do not put all the blame on the workers,  when the leaders as well as the thinkers could not find a solution for the problem.


The problem must be open to all:  


How to liberate our brains into a wide variety of different fields and satisfied the need of a fast changing economic structure?


Yes we can do it.

What is lacking in the left brain calculation?

 20250304 

What is lacking in the left brain calculation?



Left brain calculation is predictable..... If you know  how they calculate the situation.,  no matter they have a formula or not,  the calculation result is obvious.


And the problem is that calculators will not know the results are seen by the outside world.


They will be going the same way under their own calculation.


Some people do not use calculation.  Perhaps they are using speculation.  And speculation is not easy to be seen.


Many speculations are from the right brain.   And sometimes it's driven by emotion and imagination plus some unknown consideration.


Left brainers never use emotion to speculate.  They do not love and they do not hate..... They will blame themselves when they go home if they do hate sometimes.


They do not gamble. 


They are only too confident about their own secret calculation.


They thought it is a secret.  Yet it is not.  Their intention is clear like a fish swimming in a fish tank.


It is two dimensional road mapping.


They never believe some  people do not use maps to solve problems.


It is unbelievable for left-brainers:   They thought everything is in the map. 


They do not believe things will happen outside the map.


It is a wonderful world.  But they do not believe the world is wonderful.


They use a calculating machine to calculate.


Everyone can use machines to calculate.


Yet they are faster than others.


Because many will not believe in the results of the calculator.  They need some time to think.


But left brainers are always one second faster than you.


Because they do not think. 


This is the only reason for them to lose. 


This is the reason why the world is wonderful.


Because there are so many left brainers to clear the way for the late comers.

What if manpower has actually become redundant?

 20250303

What if manpower has actually become redundant?



Maybe Elon Musk and Donald Trump have actually saw this problem.


But they saw it in another way.


The question is very well, indeed:


"What did you do last week?"


If you can't answer this question, you have to go.


And you might ask another question:


"What did you do in your whole life?"


What if you cannot answer that question?


Yes, it is an important question to ask yourself.


Every one must search for the meaning of life once, at least in their life time.


It is philosophy.


But it is easy to answer for that question.


You only change the word me into we,   and you'll find the answer more easily.


Do not ask what am I going to do?


Please ask:  "what are we going to do?"


Or "what are we humans going to do?"


If you have a mind like that, you might find the answer is in somewhere else.


Yes, we are going to help each other,   we are going to search for the meaning of the universe,   we have to explore  about the universe and ourselves. 


Before we find everything,  at least we can find one thing:  That we can do everything on the condition that we love each other.


And now the question is:


"What if manpower has become redundant?"


The real essence of this problem is that:


Only a few can control the technique in science and  produce all the things with machines.   Other people without  the technique of science has become redundant.


Those people in power will not  consider anything like arts or philosophy or history or anything else from the money making technique of science.


If you are redundant you have to go.   You have to leave the planet.


What do you call this?


Can you call them genius?


Maybe they are genius in a way.


Actually, they cannot see the real essence of this problem.


The real problem is:


"What if manpower has become redundant?"


This is not the sole problem of the United States,   it will become the problem of all human beings in the near future.


No one is redundant. If you can think in a broader sense of art, history, literature, music, and all the many studies about the future of the universe.


What do you think?  If you think only the money making subjects like computer sciences can be kept and all the others studies like poetries should be discarded because they are wasting money and poets should not be allowed to live.......that means what?


That means they are wrong.


And it is happening in front of your eyes.


It is the source of the future destruction of this planet.


And I have to repeat it once more:  


There will not be a manpower redundant situation in this planet.

 

We humans need to work together in love to search for the meaning of this universe:   And before that: To search for the meaning of love in living in this universe.


It is so simple. Yet it is so difficult...........






Please check the following to see how the American way of thinking has been developing recently......





What Strategy Has Obama Prepared?

(Question No. 8017, January 27, 2011, Thursday)


Obama's recent congressional speech essentially focused on one word: "competition." He stated the need to strengthen America's competitiveness, asserting that the United States is capable of facing competition from any country on Earth, including China and India.


He appointed the CEO of General Electric to chair a committee aimed at enhancing U.S. competitiveness. Perhaps he believes that General Electric is a more tangible company with actual products. In reality, over half of the company's products are not manufactured in the United States, and more than half of its resources are allocated to other investment areas, making manufacturing a secondary aspect of the business.


Some American columnists argue that he has misdiagnosed the issue.


The problem with the American economy is not a lack of competitiveness. When it comes to manufacturing any product, from airplanes to the iPhone 4, which country can truly compete with the United States? Perhaps Japanese cars can compete, but the production lines for Japanese cars have long been cleverly relocated to the U.S. Japanese cars are essentially made in America.


So where does the problem lie?


An urgent real issue is that the development patterns of Western economies are unbalanced. A small number of high-tech knowledge and skills are concentrated in the hands of a few, while the majority cannot keep up. This is known as the knowledge gap. When the knowledge gap was smaller, production lines could still remain in the U.S.   In the era of Edison, light bulbs were undoubtedly assembled by American workers. However, today the knowledge gap is wider; without outsourcing, competition is impossible. Thus, the American phenomenon is that a few people earn a lot of money while the majority rely on welfare and cannot play an active role. Today, wealth in America is concentrated in the hands of just 1% of the population. Most people survive on the welfare benefits that trickle down to them. Of course, this isn’t entirely accurate; it’s a metaphor. Most people do not actually rely solely on welfare. The U.S. has various service industries, etc. But this metaphor helps people understand the issue directly. The inability of the majority to utilize their intelligence is the most severe problem.

 

The second issue is the problem inherent in American culture. Americans pursue happiness rather than ideals. They seek opportunities instead of enlightenment. They engage in cutthroat competition rather than fostering love for one another. Originally, this was merely an ethical issue. "Morality" has always been considered a "high ground," viewed as a weapon for struggle between parties. However, it is precisely because of this moral framework that Americans have lost the opportunity to break through the bottleneck. The renewal of American culture seems far off. While for many, cultural renewal may not be important, what matters is that the president's competitive strategy may not be able to save the economy. If Obama fails in this regard, investors will have to reconsider their plans.


The third issue is that American culture cannot lead Western culture out of its bottleneck. There is no understanding or interest in the concepts of internal and external, left brain and right brain. Yet American leaders are interested in pushing the Chinese to follow Confucius's path to destruction, even as they fail to see any merits in Chinese culture.

Why some people are immuned from bad interest?

 20250302

Why some people are immuned from bad interest?




Bad interest can control many but not those who can think independently.  Short term interest is not a sure magic for them, they can avoid being captured as a tool of others.


They must be the very privileged few.   For example, a few high Buddhist monks or very talented scientists who need not to consider  imminent interests. 


People with strict rules may not be influenced when  most of the government departments cannot be avoided. Universities and schools are the most common soil for bad interests.


Once people are enrolled in bad interest,  their brains cannot function properly.


It's easy for them to blame others.


There are hatred among them.


They hate everyone who is not of their kind.  


Because they are dependent on bad interests.


And they are hiding their deep hatred feelings within. 


It can only be shown in protests and demonstrations sometimes.


Bad interest controled everything of their lives. 


Many of their jobs were given,  even spouses are arranged.  


What is the real situation?


The atmosphere is obvious in low taste culture.


In some of the internet news channels in mainland,  they can show half-naked females  every few minutes without stopping for hours. 


It is a news channel,  but they are broadcasting low taste.


They must be under control of some kind.

And it's not a revolution like a thunderstorm,  but it is welcomed by everyone.

What is the lesson from the Ukraine War?烏克蘭戰爭的教訓是什麼?

 20250226

What is the lesson from the Ukraine War?

烏克蘭戰爭的教訓是什麼?



It seems obvious that it needs to know who is the enemy,  if the real enemy is not known,  the result will be very bad.


And this is the major teaching form Mao Tse Tong long ago.


He said it is utmost important to know who is your enemy.   At first, I didn't realize the importance of this point.  It could be funny if you're fighting, but yet you don't know who is the enemy. It seems to be an absurd situation that couldn't happen.


From the results of the Ukraine war,  everybody now knows who is the enemy of Russia.   They are having a talk between Russia and the United States to end the war.


Why they need to talk to the United States, but not the Ukrainian people?


It is not funny at all.


Because the enemy for Russia is the United States and  NATO the subordinate of  the United States.


Due to many reasons that the warheads are not pointing against the United States and NATO.


The real enemies were in the back.   What you're fighting is only a tool of them.


And this is the real essence of this war.


If the real enemy is protected and never touched,   how can anything be achieved?


If your own power is weak and you are not sure to win,  the only choice is to wait.  And always remember that the powerful one needs not to be winning.   The small can beat the large.


The phrase "以小勝大,以弱勝強"  means " The small can defeat the large, and the weak can overcome the strong."  Smaller or weaker entities can achieve victory over larger or stronger opponents through strategy, skill, or cleverness,  and most important of all is the mind.


It must be the mind of the people,  and the mind of yourself fighting.   Once you gain the minds,  you will win.

 

 Can the Russians win all the minds?


 Can the Russians know who is the enemy?


 It is important lesson to be learned,  again and again.


 Why is this so important?


 Because there is another war waiting ahead.


 The Taiwan issue can be settled peacefully,   but it must be backed up by a wining war.


And the enemy of China is the United States plus Japan.


If the Chinese is to launch a ballistic missile,   where should it fly to?


Should the aim be Taipei? or other real enemies?


If this question cannot be answered,  tragic results are sure.


The Taiwan issue is a war of minds.


It seems to be peaceful, and easy.


But it is not!


It's bloody and more difficult than sending armies.


If the war of mind cannot be won,  extremely bad things will be the result, and it includes the defeat of Mainland China, with the smiling faces of the Yankees and Japs.


The war of mind is serious and bloody.  It needs lots of blood in the mind, and soldiers of mind would be  sacrificed without mercy.


They are already dying.

Flying Car:  Can my idea be spreading a little?




It is a big problem that my ideas cannot spread.

Only a few can reach it.

The idea of a flying car is written at the beginning of this year.  Major point about this flying car is that it must be bladeless.

Two months later,   the United States people have made it.   And it is bladeless.

Yet my idea still couldn't spread around.

I use Chinese to write before,  now I switch to English, hoping my ideas could be spread around a little more.

It's my pleasure and my sadness to read the news.    The United States people is much faster than the Chinese people.

They had made the flying car and it's on sale now. 

Interesting is that the flying car is also bladeless.



note:  the following was my idea--

Flying car:  How to make it smaller?

 

If the flying car is successfully replacing all the road-running cars, economies could be totally different.

You'll have a double or three-fold economy,  and a double or three-fold sized country. 

Flying made remote areas near,  far away places could be used like cities.

Problems will be solved suddenly because of the economy up going.

There is one key point in making the flying cars.

It is a little key point, but it's not to be neglected.

Flying cars must not be like helicopters. 

Helicopters are too big to crowd-in the streets.  Helicopters can only stay in  airports.

But flying cars can  "drive" side by side with the pedestrians.

A safe flying car can descend silently, landing one or two feet by your side.  You can get in like getting into a taxi.

The secret could be that it is bladeless. 

When it is bladeless, it could be smaller to enter into daily lives like an automobile.

How can a flying car be bladeless?

There are lots of ways to do it. 

You can fit in one bigger turbo fan,  or one hundred smaller electric turbo engines.

Different designs will come up when people are awared that it will turn the market up to the sky.

And it should be a huge project by the whole country.

Everything will change within a few years.....

Only that you remain  curious about nature and always ask why.




二零二五年二月二十五日


飛車:我的構思能否略為傳播?


我的構思難以流布,實為一大難題。接觸得到的讀者,寥寥無幾。飛車這意念,今年初已經刊出。此飛車的要點,是無槳葉bladeless。兩月後,美國人已製成,且亦是無槳葉。但我的構想,仍未能於中華大地傳播。昔日我用中文書寫,今轉用英文,只希望構想能稍為傳播。看到這段新聞,我心既喜且悲。美國人較中國人快得多。美國人已經製成飛車,而且已上市。有趣的是:美國飛車也是無槳葉的!




註:以下是我之前的構想——


二零二五年一月三日


飛車:如何使其更小?


若飛車成功取代所有路面行駛的車輛,經濟將全然不同。經濟將倍增或三倍,國土亦將倍增或三倍。飛行使偏遠地區近在咫尺,遠方土地可如城市般利用。因經濟上升,種種問題將驟然解決。

製飛車有一關鍵點: 好像只是小問題,但決不可忽視。飛車不可以像直升機。直升機過大,難以擁擠於街道。直升機僅能停留於機場。然飛車可與行人並行。安全之飛車可靜靜降落,停於你身畔一兩尺處。你可如乘計程車般進入。其秘訣或為無槳葉bladeless。無槳葉,則可更小,如汽車般融入日常生活。飛車如何去除槳葉?方法多矣。可裝一大渦輪風扇,或百小電動渦輪引擎。

當人們知道了這構思,將會促使市場翻天覆地,不同設計將湧現。此應為全國之巨大工程。數年內,一切將變……唯一只是你需對自然保持好奇,常問為甚麽!

What is the use to link up the Ren mai and Du mai?打通任督二脈,有何用處?

 20250224

What is the use to link up the Ren mai  and Du mai? 打通任督二脈,有何用處?




It is because they are the major tunnels of qi in the body.   If these two major tunnels are flowing easily and healthily,  than the other tunnels  will have no obstruction in flowing.


Qi flow is different from blood flow.   Because blood is liquid,  if there are any objections,  it could be found and healed.


But there is no way to find the flowing of qi.


Blood flow can be improved by exercise.


Qi can be improved by massage or self control:  not all people can control qi-flow,  but it could be taught and learned.


Once the major tunnel of Ren and Du are connected,  there will be a huge benefit to the health:   Because the other  twelve meridians will be activated.


Qi is an energy.   The energy is shared by the flowing blood and all other functions of the body.


It is an extremely important chapter in Chinese medicine. 


However, when the proper direction of Ren mai is wrongly  interpreted, results will be deducted,  if not opposite.


Many health problems can be solved by connecting the meridians.


If there is no problem in  health,  then one higher level of energy will be reached.


One will be more alerted  and energetic.





打通任督二脈,有何用處?


任督二脈是氣的主要隧道。若此二大隧道流暢且健旺,其餘隧道自無阻滯之虞。


氣之流動不同於血之流動。因為血為液體,若有阻礙,尚可察覺療治。


但氣之流動,卻難以探尋。


血之流動可藉運動以改善。


氣則可藉按摩或自我調控以增益:並非人人都能夠操控氣之流動,但方法卻是可以傳授可以學習的。


任督二脈相連,健康大有裨益:因為其餘十二經絡亦將會被激活。


氣者,能量也。此能量可以被流動的血液與身體各種功能共享。


在中國醫學裡面,這是至關重要的一章。


但是,倘若任脈之正確流向被誤解,效果將大打折扣,甚或走向負面。


很多健康問題,可經由疏通經絡而解。


若果健康無虞,則更高一層的能量就在等著了。


打通了任督二脈的人, 將會更為警覺而且能量充沛。

Why the postive is longer than the negative?為什麼陽比陰長

 20250223

Why the postive is longer than the negative?為什麼陽比陰長?



  What I meant are the positive meridian and the negative meridian here.

The more proper name for them are Du mai 督脈& Ren mai任脈.

It is interesting to ask why the positive meridian is longer than the negative meridian?

Why the Du mai is longer than the Ren mai?

I hope interested people would tell the world why.

It should be more than the length of the meridians, but the strengh of them.

Why a man is stronger than a woman?

If you do not like the term "stronger",   you can use "heavier" instead.

A man is heavier than a woman.

The Du mai is longer than the Ren mai.  Why?

It might be helpful to improve health,   if the theory is known.



為什麼陽比陰長?


我所指的是這裡的陽經脈和陰經脈。

它們更恰當的名稱是督脈和任脈。

有趣的是,為什麼陽經脈比陰經脈長?

為什麼督脈比任脈長?

我希望有興趣的人能告訴世界, 這是何原因。

應該不僅僅是經脈的長度問題,而是它們的強度。

為什麼男人比女人強壯?

如果你不喜歡「強壯」這個詞,你可以用「重」來代替。

男人比女人重。

督脈比任脈長。

為什麼?

知道了這個原理,可能會更加有助於健康。

How to link up the meridians? 怎樣把任脈和督脈連結起來?

20250222

How to link up the Ren & Du meridians?  怎樣把任脈和督脈連結起來?


 

 
    Most important point is the direction of the Ren Mai.

I thought it should be going upwards,  linking with the Du Mai in the teeth.

Both of the Meridians are going upwards.    When they are linked up,  they will enter the brain,   stay a while and then going downwards,  until they reach the Dantian丹田, which is the most important place of energy,  then the meridian will exit from the center point of the lower body,  then go up again.

There will be a huge benefit of health when these two maridianes are linked up.

Clicking teeth would help them join together.  A little massage on the center point of the lower body is useful, would bring the meridians out.

If you're doing nothing but only clicking  the teeth叩齒.  it also works.

If you have no experience in Chinese medicine, just imagination will help.

You just think in the mind that they are going to a certain place,  they will follow your mind.

And you can massage it by your own hand, following the upward directions.

Don't worry if the hands couldn't reach certain places in the back.   You can change hands by then.

It is extremely helpful if do it every day.

Many books insist that the Ren Mai is not going upwards, but downwards.

I thought they are wrong.  This is the reason why they can never link up the two.

Try and you will get what you want.




怎樣把任脈和督脈連結起來?



最重要是任脈的方向。

我以為應當向上,與督脈相連於牙齒之間。

任督二脈,二者皆向上而行。當其相連時,會入腦停留片刻,隨後向下,直到丹田。丹田是能量集中的重要所在。會合了的任督二脈,會經由下身之中心點(會陰穴)出來,再次向上。

當此二脈相連時,會帶來巨大的健康益處。

叩齒可助兩者結合。按摩會陰穴會引導任脈和督脈出來。

若單只叩齒,亦有效。

僅憑想象便可以幫助兩條經脈運行。

只需在心中思念氣將會來到某處,氣就會隨思想而行。

另一方面,也可用手,遵循向上之方向按摩。輕掃即可。

若手無法觸及背部某些部位,無需擔心,屆時可更換雙手。
每日持之以恆,極為有益。

很多書籍皆堅持任脈乃向下而非向上。

我認為那是錯的,那是無法連結兩者的原因。

試一試,會有幫助的。

打通任督二脈,是非同小可的大事。

How did Julius Caesar die from assassination?凱撒大帝.怎樣被暗殺?

 

The following is a famous speech by Anthony from a play by  William Shakespeare: Julius Caesar.


Julius Caesar is a honest man.  His mind is open.  He believes everyone is like him. Although there were some warnings before the event. Someone listed the conspirators name for him. And a soothsayer  also warned him.  And he ignores them all.  Of all the conspirators, he loves Brutus most.  And Brutus was the last one to stab him with a dagger.


Here is a speech by Anthony the loyalist.


He showed the corpse of Julius Caesar to the crowd.  And he guided them to inspect all the wounds from the body.


Brutus stabbed Caesar and pulled out his dagger.


Julius Caesar's blood bursted  out following  the dagger.


It comes the famous line from  Julius Caesar:


Et tu,  Brute?  (And you,  Brutus?)


Brutus was the most trusted follower of him.


Julius Caesar did not know,  He is the fate of the time of Rome.   Rome will be ruined without him.  He is the target of all these conspirators. 


The following is a famous speech in the play.  It shows the detail of the scene. 


It is not history. It is a literature work.  It is more true than history.



............


Here is the full text of Mark Antony’s famous funeral speech  from Act 3, Scene 2 of *Julius Caesar* by William Shakespeare


---


Mark Antony’s Speech


ANTONY: 

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;  

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.  

The evil that men do lives after them;  

The good is oft interrèd with their bones.  

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus  

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.  

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,  

And grievously hath Caesar answered it.  

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—  

For Brutus is an honourable man;  

So are they all, all honourable men—  

Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.  

He was my friend, faithful and just to me;   

But Brutus says he was ambitious,  

And Brutus is an honourable man.  

He hath brought many captives home to Rome,  

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.  

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?  

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;  

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.  

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,  

And Brutus is an honourable man.  

You all did see that on the Lupercal  

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,  

Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?  

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,  

And sure he is an honourable man.  

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,  

But here I am to speak what I do know.  

You all did love him once, not without cause;  

What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?  

O judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,  

And men have lost their reason! Bear with me;  

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,  

And I must pause till it come back to me.  


*(He pauses to weep, and the crowd begins to sympathize with him.)*


---


### **The Crowd Reacts**

The citizens start to question Brutus’s claims, saying, “Methinks there is much reason in his sayings,” and “Poor soul, his eyes are red as fire with weeping.”


---


### **Antony Continues**


**ANTONY:**  

But yesterday the word of Caesar might  

Have stood against the world. Now lies he there,  

And none so poor to do him reverence.  

O masters, if I were disposed to stir  

Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,  

I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong,  

Who, you all know, are honourable men.  

I will not do them wrong; I rather choose  

To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,  

Than I will wrong such honourable men.  

But here’s a parchment with the seal of Caesar;  

I found it in his closet; ’tis his will.  

Let but the commons hear this testament—  

Which, pardon me, I do not mean to read—  

And they would go and kiss dead Caesar’s wounds  

And dip their napkins in his sacred blood,  

Yea, beg a hair of him for memory,  

And, dying, mention it within their wills,  

Bequeathing it as a rich legacy  

Unto their issue.  


---


### **The Crowd Demands the Will**

The citizens beg Antony to read the will, but he refuses at first, heightening their curiosity and anger. He then descends from the podium to stand beside Caesar’s body, further stirring the crowd’s emotions.


---


### **Antony Reveals Caesar’s Wounds**


**ANTONY:**  

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.  

You all do know this mantle. I remember  

The first time ever Caesar put it on;  

’Twas on a summer’s evening, in his tent,  

That day he overcame the Nervii.  

Look, in this place ran Cassius’ dagger through;  

See what a rent the envious Casca made;  

Through this the well-belovèd Brutus stabbed;  

And as he plucked his cursèd steel away,  

Mark how the blood of Caesar followed it,  

As rushing out of doors to be resolved  

If Brutus so unkindly knocked or no;  

For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar’s angel.  

Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!  

This was the most unkindest cut of all;  

For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,  

Ingratitude, more strong than traitors’ arms,  

Quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart;  

And in his mantle muffling up his face,  

Even at the base of Pompey’s statue  

(Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell.  

O, what a fall was there, my countrymen!  

Then I, and you, and all of us fell down,  

Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.  

O, now you weep, and I perceive you feel  

The dint of pity. These are gracious drops.  

Kind souls, what, weep you when you but behold  

Our Caesar’s vesture wounded? Look you here!  

Here is himself, marred, as you see, with traitors.  


*(He shows Caesar’s body to the crowd.)*


---


### **The Crowd Turns**

The citizens are now enraged, crying, “Revenge! About! Seek! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live!”


---


### **Antony Concludes**


**ANTONY:**  

Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up  

To such a sudden flood of mutiny.  

They that have done this deed are honourable.  

What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,  

That made them do it. They are wise and honourable,  

And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you.  

I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts.  

I am no orator, as Brutus is,  

But, as you know me all, a plain blunt man  

That love my friend; and that they know full well  

That gave me public leave to speak of him.  

For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,  

Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech  

To stir men’s blood. I only speak right on.  

I tell you that which you yourselves do know,  

Show you sweet Caesar’s wounds, poor poor dumb mouths,  

And bid them speak for me. But were I Brutus,  

And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony  

Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue  

In every wound of Caesar that should move  

The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.  


---


### **The Crowd’s Reaction**

The crowd is now fully incited and vows to burn the houses of the conspirators. Antony has achieved his goal of turning public opinion against Brutus and Cassius.

凱撒大帝怎樣被暗殺?


以下是威廉·莎士比亞的劇作《尤利烏斯·凱撒》中安東尼著名的演說。


尤利烏斯·凱撒乃誠實之人。其心胸開闊,深信人人皆如他。然而,事件之前曾有數次警告。有人為他列舉了共謀者之名,且有占卜者亦曾警示。然而,他皆予以忽視。在所有共謀者中,他最愛布魯圖斯,而布魯圖斯則是最後用匕首刺他之人。


以下是忠臣安東尼的演說。


他向人群展示了尤利烏斯·凱撒的屍體,並引導他們檢視屍體上的所有創傷。


布魯圖斯刺了凱撒並拔出其匕首。


尤利烏斯·凱撒的鮮血隨著匕首而噴出。


隨之而來的是尤利烏斯·凱撒的名句:


「還有你嗎,布魯圖斯?」(Et tu, Brute?)


布魯圖斯是他最為信任的追隨者。


尤利烏斯·凱撒未曾知曉,他乃羅馬命運之所系,若無他,羅馬必將滅亡。他是所有共謀者之目標。


以下是劇中著名的演說,詳述了當時的場景。


這是演說,非歷史之事,乃文學作品。但真實勝於歷史。




安東尼的演說


安東尼:


朋友,羅馬人,鄉民,借我你的耳朵;

我來埋葬恺撒,並非讚美他。

人所做的惡行,隨其後而存;

而善行常常與其骸骨同埋。

就讓這樣對待恺撒。高貴的布魯圖斯

告訴你們恺撒是野心家。

若果如此,這是一個重大的錯誤,

而恺撒也為此付出了沉重的代價。

在此,經布魯圖斯及其他人的允許——

因為布魯圖斯是個可敬之人;

他們皆是,皆是可敬之人——

我來此於恺撒的葬禮上發言。

他是我的朋友,對我忠誠公正;

然而布魯圖斯說他是野心家,

而布魯圖斯是個可敬之人。

他帶回了許多俘虜回到羅馬,

贖金充填了將軍的庫房。

這在恺撒眼中似乎是野心嗎?

當窮人呼喊時,恺撒會流淚;

野心應由更堅韌的物質所成。

然而布魯圖斯說他是野心的,

而布魯圖斯是個可敬之人。

你們都看到在盧佩卡爾

我三度向他呈上王冠,

他三度拒絕。這是野心嗎?

然而布魯圖斯說他是野心的,

而確實,他是一位可敬的人。

我不是要反駁布魯圖斯所言,

但我在這裡是要說我所知道的事。

你們曾經愛他,並非沒有理由;

那麼,什麼理由讓你們不為他哀悼?

哦,審判,汝已逃至野獸,

人已失去理智!忍耐我片刻;

我的心在那裡,與恺撒同在棺中,

我必須暫停,直到它回到我身邊。


.....




安東尼:


但昨日恺撒的名號

或可抵擋全世界。如今他躺在此地,

無人如此貧困而不敬重他。

哦,主人們,若我欲激起

你們的心與思維來叛變與憤怒,

我應該對布魯圖斯與卡西烏斯不公,

你們皆知他們是可敬之人。

我不願對他們不公;我寧願

對死者不公,對我自己與你們不公,

也不願對如此可敬之人不公。

但這裡有一封印著恺撒印章的羊皮紙;

我在他的衣櫃中找到它;這是他的遺囑。

讓平民聞此遺囑——

但請原諒我,我不打算朗讀——

他們必將去吻死去的恺撒的傷口,

並將他神聖的血沾在手帕上,

是的,甚至乞求留一根髮為紀念,

臨終時在遺囑中提及,

將其作為豐厚的遺產

留給他們的後代。


安東尼繼續


安東尼:


若你們有淚,準備現在流下。

你們皆知這件外衣。我記得

恺撒第一次穿上它的時候;

那是在一個夏天的傍晚,在他的帳篷裡,

那天他打敗了努爾比。

看,在這裡卡西烏斯的匕首刺入;

看那嫉妒的卡斯卡所造成的傷口;

通過這裡,心愛的布魯圖斯刺了他;

當他拔出該詛咒的鋼鐵,

看,恺撒的血如潮水般湧出,

如同衝出門外以確認

布魯圖斯是否如此無情地敲門;

因為布魯圖斯,正如你們所知,是恺撒的天使。

神啊,審判吧,恺撒是多麼愛他!

這是所有傷口中最殘忍的一刀;

因為當高貴的恺撒看到他刺他,

忘恩負義,超過叛徒的武器,

將他完全征服。然後他那強大的心臟破裂;

在他的外袍裹住臉時,

甚至在龐貝的雕像基座上(

那雕像全程流血)偉大的恺撒倒下。

哦,這是一個多麼大的跌倒,我的鄉民!

然後我、你們和我們所有人都倒下,

而血腥的叛變在我們之上蔓延。

哦,現在你們哭泣,我察覺到你們感受到

憐憫的重擊。這些是仁慈的淚水。

善良的靈魂,當你們僅僅目睹

我們恺撒的衣袍受了傷,為何哭泣?看這裡!

這裡是他自己,如你所見,被叛徒所傷。


(他向人群展示恺撒的遺體。)


人群的反應


市民們現在憤怒地喊著:“報仇!出發!尋找!燒!火!殺!屠戮!讓叛徒無所遁形!”


安東尼結束


安東尼:


好朋友,親愛的朋友,讓我不要激起你們

如此突然的叛變之洪流。

那些做此事的人是可敬的。

他們有何私怨,我不知道,

使他們如此行之。他們智慧且可敬,

無疑,會用理由回答你們。

我來這裡,朋友們,並非奪走你們的心。

我不是雄辯家,如布魯圖斯所言,

但,正如你們所知,我是一個平凡直率的人

愛我的朋友;而他們都知道

已給我公眾的許可來談論他。

因為我既無智慧,亦無言辭,亦無價值,

行動,言語,或演講的能力

來激起人們的血脈。我只是直言不諱。

我告訴你們那你們自己所知的,

向你們展示可愛的恺撒的傷口,貧窮而無言的嘴,

並請他們替我發聲。若我是布魯圖斯,

而布魯圖斯是安東尼,那麼有一個安東尼

會激起你們的精神,並在恺撒的每一傷口中放置一舌,

使羅馬的石頭都能為此而起義。


人群的反應


人群現在完全被激起,誓言要燒掉 conspirators 的房子。安東尼成功地轉變了公眾對布魯圖斯和卡西烏斯的看法。
