Poem: Dispelling Fear
2003-08-23There is something to be said here for all those ways we don’t admit what we fear—Instead they hide in shadows of secret places,Lamenting over lost chances and distant faces. -
Ancient Cultivation Story: A Taoist Called Yin Jiuxia
2003-08-23Yin Jiuxia from Qingcheng Mountain. Yin had the supernormal ability of divination. When Wu Zhongyi asked Yin to predict his life span and his career development, Yin replied, “Mr. Situ [Wu’s formal job title], you are already the governor of a province.

As long as you conduct yourself with compassion, virtue, righteousness, and humanity, you will have more wealth and honour than you desire.” -

Women’s Virtue in Ancient Times
2003-08-21The Song Dynasty appears to be a turning point regarding the definition of “women of virtue” in Chinese history.

Li Sixun, an Outstanding Artist in the Tang Dynasty
2003-08-20Li Sixun’s landscape portraits have an elevated mood and a very unique style. He has beautifully captured the texture and realness of the mountains and rivers with the strokes of his brush.

His composition and mastery of the brush cannot be compared to those of his father Li Sixun. -
Goddard Space Flight Centre: Hidden Supernova Reveals Dust-Enshrouded "Supernova Factory"
2003-08-20Supernovae shine fiercely -- as brilliant as 100 billion suns. They occur when the core of a massive star exhausts its fuel and collapses under its own gravity, generating a shock wave that blasts the star's outer layers into space. This ejected material, called a supernova remnant, contains heavy elements, including those essential to life, that are later incorporated into new generations of stars and planets. -
