"Let's go through the Historian's Records, Tucker, this will only take a minute. So the Yellow Emperor was Shaodian's son, known as Gongsun, given name Xuanyuan. At birth he was spirited, as an infant articulate, as a boy nimble, as a youth diligent, and as an adult intelligent."

Besides the aesthetic of tropical tilecore / bathroom-functionalism, there is also the style of what I would call "Formosan Gothic"
Is there a name for this type of architecture? It is not quite brutalism, something-something-bathroom-functionalism. @speechleyish ?.

A lot of Taipei’s architecture is really quite ugly but sometimes I see something so spectacularly weird I just can’t help but love it

One of the losers in yesterday’s Tokyo by-election was Hirotada Ototake, a disabled rights activist who was born without any limbs, and in 2016 had a scandal where it was revealed he was cheating on his wife with five different women.

Is he. is he thinking the Chinese will invade on horseback?.
Here's what the geography looks like around Taipei. There's only one route to get there, Taiwan would see the attackers coming, and defenders would have the high ground. This does not look like a pleasant mission.

My father-in-law is a Daoist recluse. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at this abandoned village together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how.
An abandoned village in Wolfberry Island, Shengsi County, SE China’s Zhejiang Province. The village was once home to more than 2,000 fishermen, due to problems with education and food delivery, abandoned in 1990s, greenery has overtaken almost all architectures.

Listen kiddo, I get it. I don't like the imperial system; I think the Han Dynasty is corrupt; and quite frankly: I dont want to support Liu Bang, it feels like supporting a hegemon. But Im gonna do it. You wanna know why?

Must have been a Japanese landshark.
It appears some enterprising fellows dug up 6 partially buried 力石 “test of strength stones” at a shrine and lined them up in order according to weight 40~100kilos. The locals found this all very mysterious considering there were no drag marks and none of the stones were damaged

When you feel your life is completely messed up, just imagine yourself being hexagram nr. 63: "not yet successful", which has every one of its lines in the wrong position, but is nevertheless regarded as particularly auspicious, since it can only get better from there on after.

The benevolent man is like the archer. The archer adjusts himself and then shoots. If he misses, he does not murmur against those who surpass himself. He simply turns round and seeks the cause of his failure in himself.
Archer Choi Young Kwang's arrow exhibited remarkable precision as it pierced the exact centre of another arrow on the bullseye.

China does not have to be defeated. Focus on cultivating yourself.
To defeat China the United States will have to revise its Cold War era strategy. It is not possible to defeat the Soviet Union again, because modern China is a fundamentally different challenge. Yet the United States must outpace and outmaneuver modern China.

There was a Chinese philosophy professor at my alma mater who didn't speak Mandarin and never visited China. "The world I know of no longer exists.".
prodigy raised in seclusion is a master of all styles of kung fu; but does not know the word "kung fu" and has never heard of China.

@ZhaiXiang5 Interesting that this weapon of decapitation is fetishized by some Chinese today as "cute" -- that's truly sick. And, it is probably part of the broader psychological denial of the gruesome history of bloody violence, on which China is founded.
