What is the mystery in the Chinese mind?





Even the Chinese themselves do not know this mystery sometimes.


And I cannot expect how long a time will last for this mystery to be explored.


This might be the first and basic mystery of the Chinese mind.


The second mystery might be easier: 


It is:  How do you know your "inspiration" starts. 


Sometimes it's only a hint of thought.  With this special "hint",  you can discover many things.  For example,  dangers.  Some people can know there might be something important happenning and should leave at once like a fire....


Where does the "hint" come from?  But its only secondary as it happens on only a few quiet minds,  not every one.


The first mystery of the Chinese mind is the language itself.


The secret is in the "index" of the Chinese words.


There is no index like spellings in the western language.


You cannot "re-call" a single Chinese word if it happens to be "lost"  temporary from your mind.....this happens very offen when I was writing with a pen on papers.  If a word is missed, and even if the "sound" of that word is missed also, when you were writing in an urgent flow of mind but the word was not there.....how are you to "pick" it up from the ocean of words when actually there was no index in the  Chinese language?


All modern indexing methods for the Chinese words are  later inventions only:   For example, the "Romantization" of the Chinese words are a later invention and its not a naturally born feature.


It was a wonderful feeling for the early children when they learn how to read and write with a natural mind without the interference of spelling of  alphabets:   You might destroy the mind of a genius if you insist to teach spelling to a baby child before his natural language ability.


How are you to pick up words from your mind when you are thinking?


And sometimes the thoughts are not in languages too.....  The Russian leader Joseph Stalin did not believe this.  He thought  language is the only channel to think....may be some people of a left- hemisphere dominance cannot do away language when they think.  They cannot imagine the thoughts could fly without words:  Especially when the words are not a spelling word.


A western mind cannot imagine how can words be  without a spelling.


Yet the Chinese words can be picked up without an index.


This is the first and most important mystery in the Chinese civilization.


For the more advanced mind of people,   it is a secret of the mother nature.  And it is better to respect and not to neglect it.
