  Poem by Lu Yu 12th Century Chinese Poet This poem ties in with the last chapter on Chinese painting, where I wrote of the visible and invisible aspects of nature….it was written many centuries ago and yet it could have been written last week… Lao Tzu, the originator of Taosim, says that “Tao is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and Man is also great”....in Lu Yu’s poem all four Greats are personified…the second and the last lines are particularly telling….

• Chinese New Year
  by knightingail

  Spring’s here! It’s Chinese New Year! / “Gong Xi Fa Cai” – you will hear.

  This is a little touch of Singapore culture – / Chinese New Year is our Chinese New Year. After Christmas, most of the decoration in the street will be very efficiently removed to make way for the Chinese New Year decorations. “Gong Xi Fa Cai” is a greeting that we wish other people. It means to wish them prosperity. In the Chinese Tradition, little Children stay up past midnight (the eve of Chinese New Year) This is believed to bring longevity to their parents. Hong Baos, also called red packets are paper envelopes that are designed with Chinese New Year motifs (pink blossoms, golden flowers, Chinese paintings, the chinese word for spring or prosperity…) Inside these Hong Baos people put money inside and give it to children. Money that is put inside is only an even amount – 2, 4, 6, 8, 10… 20 dollars… as odd amounts of money are considered inauspicious. / Hong Baos are also given to special occasions such as someone’s birthday or wedding. Mandarin oranges are typically exchanged in twos, or even numbers but not odd. They represent gold. During Chinese New Year, families will get together and people will travel long distances to have their family reunion. However in modern today, many families also seize this opportunity to steal a getaway as everyday life is so busy. Besides, school is also out during this time. At people’s homes (we usually visit the elders(more elderly members of the family)) we sit around and eat goodies like pineapple tarts and cookies. And it is during this time we get to see our distant relatives – a long distance affair. This poem was written when I was much younger, I hope you enjoy it! Or could give it to somebody you know who celebrates this festival!

• The Wisdom of W'Tson - part 1
  by PhotogeniquE IPA

  A man is not stupid who does not know, only he who will not learn. / / / / / © photogenique (dave peddie)

  A little know Chinese Philosopher and Teacher, W’tson lived in the Chang Chung district of the Shentin province of the northern territory of Liaz Zen during the 16th century. / / Being far from the cultural centres of that great empire, his teachings were largely ignored outside of his own district, where he taught philosophy, art and digital imaging. It is only in the latter half of the 20th Century that his writing have reached a wider audience, not only in his own country, but on a wider international scale. He wrote no books and never kept a diary, believing that life, being a short flash in the cosmos, not worthy of recording. / / His writings only survived because they were written down by his students and then finally gathered together by the great philosopher, Wang Dung Clang, in the 17th Century, and preserved in the great University of Liamz Ha Knut. / / Even then, it wasn’t until the mid-20th Century, that they were fully discovered and publicised through the work of Professor James L. McIlvoy MsCdDVD, FBRC, GMTV, RBNWUK, in his anthology of great Chinese Philosophers, “The Wise Words What Chinese Thinkers Thought”, published by Spittlehill and Waffleton. / / part-2 / part-3 / part-4 / / © photogenique (dave peddie) / / Do check out karindawn ’s lovely art / / /
