We Permeate into the Zhuangzi

Zhuang Zhuangzi

Sinopsis

Zhuang Zhou, commonly known as Zhuangzi, is born in Meng in the state of Song during the Warring States period. Meng is currently located in the north of Sang-gu, Hanam Province. The survival date is approximately 369-286 BC. It is the era of King Hui of the Yang dynasty and King Seon of the Qi dynasty. After working as a manager at Chilwon for a while, he does not hold a post for the rest of his life. He devotes himself to writing while interacting with the prime ministers of the time. In a turbulent and unstable time, he looks at the world with Taoism. Ideas that stray from reality have a great influence on Chinese culture. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang canonizes the Zhuangzi as one of the Chinese classics and awards it the honorific title ‘True Scripture of Southern Florescence’. Zen Buddhism of the Tang dynasty blossoms with the philosophy of Zhuangzi. It is said that the Zhuangzi originally consisted of fifty-two sections, but only thirty-three sections by Guo Xiang(AD.252-312) are reported. Guo Xiang of the Northern Song Dynasty divides into seven sections called ‘inner chapters’, fifteen sections called ‘outer chapters’, and eleven sections called ‘miscellaneous chapters’. The ‘inner chapters’ are descriptive of the theme of the chapter as a whole and regarded as the pure Zhuangzi. The ‘outer and miscellaneous chapters’ are the details of the disciples. There is a saying that the Zhuangzi is the commentary of Lao tzu, but it is an excessive denunciation. The Huainanzi, an ancient Chinese text, treats Lao tzu and Zhuangzi Philosophy as a unique thought within a philosophical system. Zhuangzi interprets the Tao proposed by Lao tzu in the form of a story in a new way. He embodies Lao tzu's ideas, awakening the Great Integrity.

The Role of the Nile River in...

Omar Khalil

The Nile River was more than just a water source for the ancient Egyptians; it was the very foundation upon which their civilization thrived. Stretching over 4,000 miles, the river provided sustenance, enabled agriculture, and shaped daily life in profound ways. Without the Nile, the flourishing civilization that we now associate with ancient Egypt would have been impossible.
The river’s importance was most evident in its role as a source of life. Flowing from the heart of Africa to the Mediterranean Sea, the Nile brought fertile silt during its annual inundation. This natural event transformed the arid desert landscape into a lush and arable strip of land, ideal for farming. The nutrient-rich soil deposited by the flooding allowed ancient Egyptians to grow crops like wheat, barley, and flax, which were essential for food, trade, and textile production. This dependable agricultural cycle fostered stability, reducing the risks of famine and ensuring food security for the population.
The river also played a crucial role in sustaining both humans and animals. Its waters provided drinking sources not only for the people but also for livestock, which were integral to agricultural practices. Additionally, the Nile supported a wide variety of fish and attracted wildlife to its banks, allowing ancient Egyptians to develop fishing and hunting practices that supplemented their diet. Daily life revolved around the river, as it supplied the necessary resources for cooking, cleaning, and irrigation.

Inside the NRA - Armed and...

Jack Anderson

A chilling examination of the NRA and its powerful influence on America.In 1996, deaths by gun violence in the United States totaled roughly 14,000. With so many casualties— along with an astounding rise of armed militias and the discovery of huge caches of weapons stockpiled in private residences— Americans were forced to re-examine what it meant to have the "right to bear arms." The scrutinizing public eye wasted no time in looking for answers from the National Rifle Association, a group whose foundation and lifeblood is founded in the Second Amendment. Famed muckraker Jack Anderson went behind the scenes of the NRA to produce this blistering expose. Nearly thirty years later— as gun violence has escalated and America endures mass shootings on an almost weekly basis— Anderson' s scathing portrait of the NRA rings as true as ever.
