Yangroupao Residence Renamed Winter-Cold-Summer-Hot Residence…
Lately I’ve really been growing more and more dissatisfied with this “ju”… The construction noise mentioned earlier has still shown no sign of easing up (by rights, shouldn’t it at least be quiet for two days before the college entrance exam? They’re even more industrious than the examinees…), and a couple of days ago, for some unknown reason, they put up an extra wall at the entrance—now, although it’s directly opposite Peking University’s south gate, there’s a wall in between, and you have to take a huge detour to get in. Once the wall went up, of course the storefronts that do business there couldn’t stand it, and the mutton-soup…

The Starry Sky Belongs to Children

The Starry Sky Belongs to Children
During the winter vacation, when I went to Nanbei Lake with my relatives (a dozen or so people), I casually mentioned whether you could see a few more stars here at Nanbei Lake than in Shanghai. At first, Mom, Dad, uncles, and aunts all seemed completely at sea, until I added that nowadays in Shanghai you can hardly see even a few stars at night; then the “adults” were all astonished— in their impression, the night sky still looked full of stars, so many that they were beyond counting. How could there be only the seven or eight stars you can count on your fingers left? That day happened to…

This Issue’s Music: The Pure Land Dhāraṇī (in a Tibetan Folk Song Style)
http://buddha.goodweb.cn/music/musicdownload/jingtu_tln.mp3 Pure Land Dhāraṇī (in the style of a Tibetan folk song) http://buddha.goodweb.cn/music/musictxt/wangsheng.asp The one posted above is incomplete; the one below is long enough, though it’s a bit large, and it stuttered in the middle: http://buddha.goodweb.cn/music/musicdownload/jingtu_tln2.mp3 This installment of music continues the journey eastward; after the guqin, let’s go farther west and find a piece of Tibetan music. Tibet has always been one of the places I most yearn for. I seem to have posted a Tibetan folk song before. This time I originally wanted to do “A Sister Drum,” but listening to the “Six-Character Great Bright Mantra” inside A Sister Drum, I thought it would be better to…

[Repost] The Progressive View of History and the View of History as Redemption (Weiming BBS)
i—— When Professor Wu was lecturing, he said that the progressive view of history is the secularized version of the history of salvation, but I didn’t quite understand it. Could some expert help explain it?? I’d be extremely grateful 🙂 Gǔ Huà—— Ancient people’s views of history rarely involved linear progress; more often they took all kinds of cyclical forms—either saying that history was declining ever more deeply (for example, from a Golden Age to an Iron Age), or saying that history would be an endless cycle (as in Heraclitus’s “Great Year”). In the East, cyclical theories were even more common. In short, the progressive view of history is a…

This Issue’s Music: Drunken Fisherman Sings at Dusk (guqin)
http://xybbs.bonze.cn/cgl/cp/gzj/02.mp3 http://hyl510.googlepages.com/zuiyuchangwan.MP3 (It seems the Googlepage link can’t be reached…) What music should I pick for this issue? … Headache… There are too many pieces worth choosing from, and I don’t know where to begin. j Let’s keep looking for a few more pieces with an Eastern flavor. Last time I put up some Mongolian music; this time I should return to the Huaxia tradition, right: the guqin. “Drunken Fisherman Sings at Dusk”: http://baike.baidu.com/view/800984.htm “It sounds the same as ‘Fisherman’s Song’ but differs in mode. This piece truly has the meaning of laughing at the clouds and mist, and of drunken contentment in a world of wine; it is not…

Under Construction… Under Construction…
These past few months, right under the window of the room I rent, it has been making a noise so unbearable that one can hardly tolerate it—from a little after 6 in the morning until well past 12:30 at night, there has been a continuous, irregular clanging of metal and electric-welding sounds all day long. Recently I learned that it seems this district is going to have its heating pipes or natural-gas pipes or something replaced; they’ve been digging everywhere to lay pipes, and the area right beneath my window seems to be, on the one hand, the place where a boiler room or something of the sort is to…

What songs used to be played at Plato Café? I’ve forgotten. Still, this one seems to make a slightly deeper impression—unless I’m mixing it up with even earlier memories? In my hazy recollection, folk songs like Blowing In The Wind and Your Cheat in Heart also seem to have been heard often in cafés.
