The Lessons from Confucius and Past Emperors Ring True
2003-08-09The Analects of Confucius is widely considered to be the most influential text in the history of China and East Asia. The Prime Minister during the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu, claimed that half of the book, The Analects of Confucius, was written as a guide for governance. Zhao’s statement is valid. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty, all the Chinese dynasties for the next two thousand years have basically tried to govern the country according to the teachings of Confucius. -
Mount Heng of the North - the Most Significant Mountain in Northern China
2003-08-08Its main peak soars majestically over the northern Shanxi Province. Legend has it that about 4,000 years ago, Emperor Shun, one of the two saintly emperors in Chinese history, came through on an inspection tour to the north Hun Yuan. Emperor Shun was amazed when he saw the majestic and towering peaks of Mount Heng. They appeared to him as the northern gate to heaven, and so he bestowed on Mount Heng the honourable title of "the Northern Mountain." Therefore, Mount Heng became known as the king of the more than ten thousand mountains in northern China. -

Wei Zheng Comes to Believe in Heavenly Will
2003-08-07How do the gods determine our lives? One thing is for sure. It is guided by a very strict standard. Gods will reward a man based on the amount of virtue he carries from his previous lives. One’s virtue determines everything. This is why the Chinese people always remind each other to accumulate virtue by doing good deeds, and not to do bad deeds. -

Some Thoughts on Architecture
2003-08-05Architecture is humanity’s most spiritual embodiment of culture. Every stage of human civilisation has developed its own unique building styles, by either borrowing from past cultures or inventing original forms. Today, architectural relics from many distant ages remain, including little known works in the deep seas and deserts. Some of these appear remarkably modern. -

The Righteous Empress Yin and Her Brothers Embody Tolerance and Generosity
2003-08-04“Relatives of the wives of emperors are always greedy. They want all of their daughters to marry dukes and all of their sons to marry princesses. This disturbs me. One should be content with one’s lot in life. People who boast of their riches are often ridiculed.” Yin could not agree more. From then on she was even stricter with herself, never asking for positions or privileges for her family members. -
