The Origin of the Chinese Idiom: Wearing a Fur Coat Inside Out When Carrying Firewood
2004-04-14Duke Wen was deeply worried. He said, “What do you congratulate me for? This is not a good sign. This is just like the man who wore his fur coat inside out while carrying firewood. He liked the fur so much that he forgot it was more important to protect the lining in order to preserve the fur. By the same token, the amount of farmable land in Dongyang has not increased in the past year, and the population in Dongyang has remained the same, but the taxes and grain collected have increased by tenfold. The abrupt increase must have been the result of extortion by local officials. -

The Fortune of Zhang Baozang
2004-04-13Baozang himself had previous bouts with dysentery, so upon hearing news of the emperor’s condition, he submitted the prescription for the cure he had used. The medicine consisted of stir-frying piper longuml with milk. After taking this medicine, the emperor immediately became well and subsequently issued an imperial order for the prime minister, Wei Zheng, to appoint Zhang Baozang to a government position of official with the fifth highest rank. Wei Zheng, however, didn’t like Zhao Baozang and decided on his own not to issue the promotion order for Zhang Baozang. -

Meditation Produces Positive Changes in the Brain
2004-04-09 Earlier research has shown that, in people who are generally positive and optimistic and during times of positive emotion, the left side of this frontal area becomes more active than the right side does. The findings confirmed the researchers' hypothesis: the meditation group showed an increase of activation in the left-side part of the frontal region. This suggests that the meditation itself produced more activity in this region of the brain. This activity is associated with lower anxiety and a more positive emotional state. -

Stories from Ancient China: How He Chang Ended a Locust Plague
2004-04-06He moaned, “How can I be impervious to the locust plague in Wu County and still focus on my Taoist cultivation in seclusion?” He travelled to the Wu County on foot and moved into a local home. After the arrival of He Chang, the locusts in Wu County either died or disappeared. A story of how pests such as locusts flee from a Taoist cultivator shows that a genuine cultivator will bring people around him tremendous good fortune.
