    Revisiting the Meaning of “Suixuan”

    On the meaning of “Suixuan,” I spoke about it once half a year ago, just before I was about to go into seclusion: https://yilinhut.net/2008/02/14/1850.html. Although the experience of seclusion and my return to blogging has not changed Suixuan’s positioning or style, I think I can now give a more comprehensive explanation of Suixuan’s meaning. The most basic point will certainly not change, namely that Suixuan is run entirely selfishly. The reason I make it public for everyone to see is to create an atmosphere more suitable for the development of my own thinking. The very existence of readers is, for me, a kind of spur and stimulus, and readers’ feedback…

    “‘Pen’ Notes” During My Retreat in 2008

    This “Notes” was written from the beginning, when I announced on February 22, 2008 that I was going into seclusion and locking up the blog, all the way to early July, and it was recorded in a notebook I carried with me. It really was because I had shut down the blog as a channel for pouring things out that I had no choice but to switch to another form. Writing by hand feels obviously different from typing, and the articles you produce that way feel different too. The train of thought and the structure both seem more obstructed and less fluent. But being able to jot down, in an…

    The Inertia of the Bystander

    On the operation of blogs and the management of BBS forums, the most vexing problem is not that nobody reads, but that those who do read are often willing only to be “audience,” not to participate, and not even willing to leave a single word now and then (such as “great, upvote, dizzy, read, re, omg, orz,” etc.). But it is not that they are uninterested, or simply disdain it. In fact, many people come by frequently to have a look, and some of them will occasionally say “inspiring” (which, after all, is also a form of feedback, albeit an indirect one). But on the whole they are just too…

    What Is the Meaning of Suixuan?

    What, in the end, is the meaning of Suixuan? Why have I been running this blog? I have more or less forgotten these questions, because blogging has gradually become a daily habit: I write whenever I think of it, without needing any purpose or reason. But after setting it aside for a period of time, the question has surfaced again—why did I want to shut the blog down? And if I do not shut it down, then why should I continue blogging? I dug up a comment I myself left a year and a half ago: https://yilinhut.net/2006/03/24/350.html Gu 2006-07-07 01:59:06 The current orientation of this blog of mine is: First,…

    On the Current Situation of Suixuan

    The new place has already been renovated, and the owner of Suixuan is also in a state of everything waiting to be revived~ Originally, it should have been time to invite friends over to visit, but the bookshelves are still being organized, and right now the floor is completely covered with books, all in utter chaos, so I’m still too embarrassed to receive guests. However, if anyone wants to come visit and, by the way, help me sort books, then you can come now~ Living in a place like this is too burdened with guilt…… I should really bg more and build up more rp. But one should keep a…

    The 500th blog post~!

    A week from now, it will be exactly two years since I opened this blog. Two years, 500 blog posts—quite a brilliant achievement, I’d say?   With the “implementation” of “Suixuan,” my blog ought to move into a new stage. I do not ask for “getting better and better”; I don’t like that phrase. I only hope that I can keep alive the enthusiasm I now have for reading, writing, and thinking, keep alive that carefree and spontaneous attitude, and keep on with my starry-sky philosophy. When the second anniversary comes, I’ll put out a selected collection here, and settle accounts with these several hundred posts and more than a…

    Yanyuan, Fourth Courtyard (Writing Plan)

    In the blink of an eye, it has already become the third and final summer of my undergraduate years; in conversation, I have truly become an “oldster.” I am still welcoming junior students in the Weilai Beida Ren community, and this is probably the last year I will serve as a moderator there. Once I go on to graduate school, even if I still have the enthusiasm to wander around the Weilai Beida Ren community, I’m afraid I will no longer be a moderator. Although every incoming class of freshmen tends to disappoint me, overall I still very much enjoy communicating with freshmen, and I enjoy answering the questions they…

    Today’s Xindao Salon Notes, 09-07-11

    Next week (July18) the Suixuan Salon will be suspended, and the week after next (25) will probably also be suspended. After I go back to Shanghai to visit my family, I should still be spending my Saturdays at Xin Dao in August. As for next semester, broadly speaking, the open salon at Xin Dao will probably continue every Saturday; at the very least, let me use up my recharged membership card before making any plans, though at the same time I will also be exploring new forms. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of my zodiac year has passed. My so-called “In my zodiac year, the Demon King…

  • Brief Notes on a Trip to Shanxi

    Brief Notes on a Trip to Shanxi

    After coming back from Shanxi, I rested for a day (mainly catching up on a week’s worth of cartoons…), then spent a day and a half busily occupied, and only now have I begun to jot down a few things. But once I picked up the pen, I still didn’t know where to begin. After all, I’m not good at writing travel notes, and this trip to Shanxi didn’t bring me much in the way of harvest either, so I can only give a chronological account in the form of a流水账. June 30, departure: Because I had exams on the 27th and 28th, and was rushing to finish a paper…

    Hmm. One should keep a low profile… The disclosure is limited to blog readers only; please do not make a fuss about it.
