How happy it will be hunting rabbits with your dog?

"I wish to lead our yellow hound with you once more and go out the east gate of Shangcai to chase after cunning hares—but how could it ever be possible now!"

--- "Records of the Grand Historian", Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, before his execution, said to his son.

「吾與若復牽黃犬,  俱出東門逐狡兔, 豈可得乎？ 」出自《史記·李斯列傳》，是秦朝丞相李斯臨刑前對兒子說的話。

 There are different kinds of happiness,   Everyone would know what happiness was in his memory.....

 If you don't know,  don't worry,  it will come back to you in your worst moment of life.  By then you will know what is happiness.

Important is to know it before it is gone.

Important is to know your happiness and enjoy it..........before it is gone.

Do not hesitate.   Do what you need to do.

I repeat once more here:

Do not hesitate.

明月幾時有?  把酒問青天。 不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。

我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒，起舞弄清影，何似在人間?

天空闊，心廣大，我尋求。

心中有夢，前路遙遠莫疑遲。

時間空間仍有限，但我心潮澎湃。

希望竟然有，但願明日好，醒覺在人間。

When will the moon be clear and bright?

With a cup of wine. I ask the azure sky.

I wonder in the celestial palaces tonight,

What year it is up there on high?

I long to ride the wind;

Yet I fear that in the jade heavens so fair,

Cold would be too much to bear.

Dancing to the fleeting shadow, I’d find

That life on earth is not a lesser kind.

The sky is vast, my heart is wide—and I am seeking.

With my dreams, though far the road, don’t hesitate.

Time and space have their bounds, yet my spirit surges great.

Hope, after all, is here; may tomorrow be clear,

And I wake again in this human sphere.

note

In the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), Biography of Li Si, just before his execution, Li Si lamented to his son:

"I wish to lead our yellow hound with you once more and go out the east gate of Shangcai to chase after cunning hares—but how could it ever be possible now!"

This took place in the second year of Qin Er Shi (208 BCE). Li Si was falsely accused of treason by Zhao Gao and sentenced to be cut in two at the waist. As he faced death, he turned to his second son, who was to be executed alongside him, and spoke with deep sorrow of the simple life they once led in their hometown of Shangcai—leading a yellow dog and going out the east gate to hunt wild rabbits.

Why you cannot kill freely with a gun, but ok with a missile?

 20260328

Why you cannot kill freely with a gun,  but ok with a missile?

Another way to ask the same question is:  Why  wars can be started without permission from the people?

This is not only a turning point of history.  This is the real situation of "democracy" in human civilization.

The United States is not only killing its enemies.  They are killing their own system of democracy.

The meaning of election or  "freedom" is absurd.  It is completely nonsense.

The question is: can the wisdom of humans be  improved  after the war?

It is more than an examination for the human civilization,   And it can show the real quality of the scholars and intellectuals in the West.

Why wars can be started freely and killings can be a  leisure to enjoy ?

No one will trust democracy anymore.

Smart people will know more than that.

You cannot use a gun to kill freely and,  you cannot talk freely over the phone anymore.

You are not living in freedom.

And this is the year 2026.

It's difficult to attack Iran

It's difficult to attack Iran

攻打伊朗甚艱難

飛彈落在峰嶺間

美元難敵黃金價

遲早散落在深山

It's difficult to attack Iran

Missiles on the frying pan

Falling like US dollars

Whose tragedy again?

..

Far beyond the clouds

 

望遠雲山望遠難，

朝霞以外是空閒。

仿佛三千里路遠，

佳人何處嘔歌傳。

---

Far beyond the clouds, far beyond to see;

Emptiness,  clouds beyond the morning mist

Three thousand miles stretch endlessly

Oh, where shall I send my song to thee?

Why is morality still vital?

 20260326

Why is morality still vital?

  

Morality is still vital in modern politics and everyday life.

If there is no morality,  the society will go wrong.   It is more than personal health.  The total direction of a society or a country will be going downward if morality is neglected.

The spirit of a country is supported by morality.   There will be a tragedy if morality is lost when people are doing things for the sole purpose of making fast money.

Happiness will be gone.   Inner peace of mind will be gone.   Decisions will be wrong.  Failure is imminent and unavoidable.

Important is the balance of powers will be gone too. When people cannot trust each other, there will be no safety.  How can world peace be sustained by thieves?

Morality is vital because it is supported by people and it is the final result of victory.

Morality is a good mind.

What will happen if the balance of the three-kingdom is lost?

20260325

What will happen if the balance of the three- kingdom is lost?

In  all the history of humankind,  the present situation is unseen before.   There was never a time  when the powers are in a almost completely balanced situation.

I don't know how long this situation will last.   I don't know how long this peaceful situation can  maintain.

No one would like to see if one side of this balance is suddenly growing very fast.

And I don't know whether the world peace is governed by a reasoning power, or greed, or fear.

The behavior of the United States is skeptical.   

They took Venezuela and all its resources suddenly,  and now they were starting to take Iran.   It happened only at the same moment in a historical view.

It is obvious that someone is trying to break the balance.

History will have a new chapter if the balance is broken:  though it is not easy.

An important issue is to have a concern if it is unavoidable.

What will happen if all morality is lost?

 20260324

What will happen if all morality is lost?

 

Our history is experiencing something very special.   It seems morality is completely useless in world politics.  They don't need even a pretext to start a war to take all your wealth by killing.

It is a serious turning point in history.

People need to have nothing but a pretext to do extremely negative things before. And now its no more.

They have forgotten all pretexts.    They don't need them.  I came I took and I killed.  As long as they are stronger than you.   It is worse than the jungle.

History will remember this moment.

What is needed in a jungle?  

It needs a really strong power to be a true leader,  just to kick away the unfit ones.

notes from AI

The exact wording is the Latin phrase "Veni, vidi, vici."

It translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered."

The saying comes from a report Julius Caesar sent to the Roman Senate around 47 BC, after his swift victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela. The phrase is recorded in Plutarch’s Life of Caesar and Suetonius’s The Twelve Caesars.

After "Veni, vidi, vici," Caesar returned to Rome as the undisputed master of the Roman world. However, his unprecedented power and the title "dictator for life" (dictator perpetuo) alarmed many senators who feared he aimed to abolish the Republic and make himself king.

*Assassination

On March 15, 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated in the Theatre of Pompey in Rome by a group of 60 or more senators, led by Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus.

· The Attack: Caesar was stabbed 23 times. According to the historian Suetonius, a physician later determined that only the second wound to his chest was fatal.

· Famous Last Words: While Shakespeare popularized the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" ("You too, Brutus?"), ancient historians like Plutarch and Suetonius report that Caesar either said nothing or said in Greek, "Kai su, teknon?" ("You too, my child?") as Brutus struck the blow.

* Aftermath: Chaos and Civil War

The assassination did not restore the Republic. Instead, it triggered a power vacuum and more civil war.

*Antony's Funeral Speech: 

At Caesar's funeral, Mark Antony gave a masterful speech that turned public opinion against the assassins. He displayed Caesar's bloody toga, pierced by 23 dagger wounds, and read Caesar's will, which left money and public gardens to the people of Rome. The crowd erupted in fury, burning the Senate House and forcing Brutus and Cassius to flee the city.

* The Rise of Augustus: 

Caesar's 18-year-old adopted heir, Octavian (later known as Augustus), allied with Mark Antony and Lepidus to form the Second Triumvirate.

*The Battle of Philippi (42 BC): 

The Triumvirate hunted down Caesar's assassins in Greece. Antony and Octavian defeated the armies of Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. Both conspirators committed suicide after the defeat.

*The End of the Republic

With the assassins dead, the Triumvirate eventually turned on each other. By 31 BC, Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra, becoming the first Roman emperor. Ironically, Caesar's death cleared the path for the very monarchy his assassins had tried to prevent.

Can minds really be captured before the war?

20260324

Can minds really be captured before the war?

It is an ideal in war theories.

It was in the thoughts of many people in Chinese history,  that if you can have the minds, you can have everything.

It was proved in the war against Japanese invasion.

I don't know whether there will be really a war in the Taiwan strait.

I don't know whether the mind theory will be same  or not in the future.

If the minds are not captured,  will the army be sent neglecting the mind?

To reach the core before openning the shell: its was said before.

If the core is reached and controlled, the war is won.

If the shells are broken without reaching the core,  then everything will be ruined.

It will be the same in the US-Iran war.

However, minds are not in the consideration in every war.  

Then what is the consideration?

Oil.

Take away all resources and money,  and don't mind the minds......its the least important thing.

It is like a robbery happened in the neighborhood.

It is calling for minds to react.

Can "qi" be used outside the human body?

Can "qi" be used outside the human body?

 

Qi is like an energy flow.   But it seems qi can only flow inside the human body.   Some people thought that qi can jump from one body into another body.

What if it is true?

If the world is not turned upside down because of this,  the science of medicine may be.

Some qi masters have the experience that they will feel tired or even exhausted after they had used qi in healing.

Qi is an energy not fully understood.

The question is:  is the science of qi marketable?

Can meridians connect outside the body?

 20260324

Can meridians connect outside the body?

In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is said to have 12 principal meridians. They are correspond to the six yin and six yang organs.

In addition, there are 8 extraordinary vessels (suchas the Ren Mai and Du Mai), which are also considered meridian-like pathways. The total number of main channels is often cited as more than 12 when including the extraordinary vessels.

It is only imagination that  the meridian should be connected,  or even  extended outside the body.

If the energy flow is "qi",  can it be used like electricity to "light up" light bulbs?   This is a question raised  more than 10 years,  but new findings are rare.......

"How lovely is the lotus flower? " 

        by Zhou Dunyi

She is from the mud but she is clean

出污泥而不染

She is from the masses but she is pure

濯清漣而不妖

She understands 中通

She is straight 外直

She won't fall into a group 不蔓

She don't join the gang 不枝

Her fragrance reaches far beyond 香遠益清

She is finely standing 亭亭淨植

One admires, but no one can push her into the profane

可逺觀而不可褻玩焉

愛蓮説        周敦頤

水陸草木之花，可愛者甚蕃。晉陶淵明獨愛菊。自李唐來，世人甚愛牡丹。予獨愛蓮之出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖，中通外直，不蔓不枝，香遠益清，亭亭淨植，可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。

予謂菊，花之隱逸者也；牡丹，花之富貴者也；蓮，花之君子者也。噫！菊之愛，陶後鮮有聞。蓮之愛，同予者何人？牡丹之愛，宜乎眾矣！

The Language of Flowers

by  Zhou Dunyi  1017-1073

(Translated by Herbert A. Giles)   1845-1935

Lovers of flowering plants and shrubs we have had by scores, but Tao Yuan-ming alone devoted himself to the chrysanthemum. Since the opening days of the Tang dynasty, it has been fashionable to admire the peony; but my favourite is the water-lily. How stainless it rises from its slimy bed! How modestly it reposes on the clear pool – an emblem of purity and truth! Symmetrically perfect, its subtle perfume is wafted far and wide, while there it rests in spotless state, something to be regarded reverently from a distance, and not be profaned by familiar approach.

In my opinion, the chrysanthemum is the flower of retirement and culture; the peony, the flower of rank and wealth; the water-lily, the Lady Virtue sans pareille.

Alas; few have loved the chrysanthemum since Tao Yuan-ming; and none now love the water-lily like myself; whereas the peony is a general favourite with all mankind.

What power is unstoppable?

 20260321

What power is unstoppable?

Military powers are always stoppable. Especially when the power is from greed.   When the power wants something out of an unnecessary greed,  it is not non-stoppable.

Maybe it is a natural design of humans.   People wants to live on,   if their livelihood is taken away,  they will fight.

Greed is stoppable,  but love, wisdom and all other positive intentions are not.

To put it in an imagination of mathematics,  the positive side will be 1.001 while the negative side may be 0.999

The two sides are not equal.

If they are equal, the planet will not move.

It is only imagination.  If the imagination is true,  then day time will be 0.001 more than night time, and its very unlikely.

It is only fun.

But we may draw a conclusion from the joke:

Love is unstoppable and wisdom is unstoppable, too.

And this might be the hope for human beings:  though it is only a dream, or a joke.

note:

Is it possible that the positive side is 1.00000000000000000000000001?

Its only a little bit more.

And you positive guys are sure win because of it.
