Emperor Tai Zong of the Tang Dynasty, A Monarch of Great Virtue (Part II)
2003-07-27Emperor Tai Zong said, “An emperor is the source of a giant river and his officials constitute the giant river. If the source is contaminated, the river will be too. If I cheat my officials, how can I ask them to be honest? I wish to govern this land with the utmost sincerity; therefore, I often feel ashamed for those emperors who dealt with officials by using power and underhanded schemes." -

Ancient Cultivation Story: Eight Hundred Coins
2003-07-24One night when the old monk had fallen asleep he dreamt that an old woman in black approached him, bowed down and then left. Before she left, she said to Shang Gong, “I just owed your temple eight hundred coins.” Shang Gong then woke up and felt very strange about what she had said in the dream. He then took a pen and wrote down the story on a wall in his bedroom. The disciples living with him had no idea what the story meant. -

Stories from Ancient China: Emperor Tai Zong of the Tang Dynasty, a Monarch of Great Virtue
2003-07-22One day Emperor Tai Zong saw locusts in the imperial garden. He then picked up several locusts and said, “My people’s lives depend on crops, but you ate their crops. I’d rather you ate my internal organs than my people’s crops.” Then he started to swallow the locusts. The subjects gathered around Emperor Tai Zong exclaimed, “Pests like locusts will ruin your stomach!” Emperor Tai Zong replied, “I am willing to bear any plagues, I fear no diseases.” Then he continued to swallow the remaining locusts. It is said that the locusts did not do much damage that year. -

The Legend of Yimu Grass
2003-07-21My mother is a doctor of Chinese medicine and is well known for the quality of her work in this field. She is diligent in her work and puts al ot of effort into ensuring that her work is carried out well. Although she hasn’t received a lot of formal education, she has had plenty of experience with Chinese traditional medicine and herbs. In our free time, she told me about a lot of medical cases that she had experienced. After hearing about her herbs and medicines again and again, I memorised their names. Now I am a doctor myself, but my mother’s valuable knowledge still guides me in treating difficult cases. -
