修短有數兮，不足較也。

生而如夢兮，死則覺也。

She understood Zhuangzi.

先吾親而歸兮，慚予之失孝也。

心悽悽而不能已兮，是則可悼也。

But she was still too young. This is so unfortunate.

To those who suggest using testudo, the Roman actually did use testtudo (check wikipedia), but it was a disaster. The testudo is not good at melee combat, and is vulnerable to cataphract charge. When the Roman used testudo, the Parthian used cataphract. When the Roman switched back to normal f...

For those who think this is just about flexibility, you miss the point. Flexibility is a bonus here, but the most important point of the form is to connect every joint of the body so that when the waist moves the whole body moves. The force starts from the waist (or you can say dantian, the bel...

Dictators will love this video. If people don't complain about anything ever, the dictators will have an easy time to do whatever they want. This is extreme individualism, which assumes individual is solely responsible for any success or failure. If you have ever studied any social science, yo...

Truth is usually disappointing. That is why so many people like to hear lie. If you think these masters do not know taiji, you should participate some international push hand competition held by China, and show them what is true taiji. Until now, Chen village dominates most if not all of these...

"By now if you don't know that these reality tv shows are fake then you're just as stupid as this blonde"

If this show is fake, then the blonde is probably not stupid.

The taoist monk is qiu chuji. Despite his legendary reputation, he really was just ass kissing. When Jin (manchu) invaded China, he kissed Manchu's ass. When mongolian became stronger, he did the same. As a result, his sect of Taolism, the quanzhen, thrived in both dynasties.

The mongolian and ma...

@SD78 Before making the claim that the Great Zimbabwe "completely invalidating his entire thesis", it is better to check Diamond's original book. On page 398 to 401, Diamond actually give detailed explanations on why this is the case. A summery: the lack of innate good plant and animal in subeq...

@noobler9 Ralph has this idea that entertainment industry has a brainwash component. They take away people's attention from things that really matter. You are talking about violent video games can teach kids about fighting for their right, but often kids play too much video games to care about ...

@Terryltk Therefore, the purpose of martial art is not to kill, but to improve physical health or to be effective in competition with rules, which is sport. I know some would argue that certain martial art is best at killing without weapon. But if one fails in a competition due to weaker strength...

Friday is the living evidence of mordern day scapegoating and witchhunting. There are so many terrible things happenning in the world, but to many people, none of them compare to this 13 years old's song. So many people feel the need to come here again and express hatred in various ways. Does sc...

A 2600 pounds slap is unbelievable. They also measure other martial artists' strike force. According to fight science, Bas (the heavy UFC champion) only hit 700 pounds with a hook. A muay thai round house does 1400 pounds. A TKD round house does 2300 pounds. I am a bit skeptical that a tiger kun...

It is ignorance and lie that truly disgrace taiji and Chinese martial art. If you think the "wrestling" in this video disgrace taiji, please participate a push hand competition and teach these people a lesson, and show the world the superhuman techniques in taiji masters' demostration actually w...

@MylesAngus Unfornuately, it is not just Chen village. If you check all the national and international push hand competition hold these years, it never looks as pretty as the masters demo. Also, Chen village tends to win more often. I practice Yang more often than Chen, I am stating objective ...

@eggimage The thing is many Chinese people still believe taijiquan is indeed "old man style". They are only annoyed because they don't want foreigners to say this. When Li lianjie did Chen style's fa jin, there are still many Chinese think that is not taijiquan. Don't just laugh, many Chinese al...

I think one assumption of this technique is that the attacker does not move and control the girl's balance. But in reality, the attacker may move forward and control the girl's spine so that the girl may not be able to sink down at all. Even fighting an opponent with equal strength, it is a dis...

1. 我说容妃这招虚伪没原则，你说我“知道个屁”，结果怎样呢，慧­­­妃当权之后，不但没节省，反而花费更多，康熙大怒。慧妃­主­­事­，后宫多少人要受罪，明珠在朝也更有权势。再往下看，容­妃自­己都­认错了。

2. 谈虚伪，我确是认为康熙在本剧是虚伪的，他为了自己的面子作了很­­­多过份的事，甚至丧心病狂。尽管陈道明演的很好，我始终觉­得­是­错­的。本剧将“封锁新闻”，“洗脑愚民”，“兔死狗烹”等­罪恶­的政­治手段演成“识大体”之举，让人觉得这些是王­道，是­明智。­我是非­常反对的。你的意思是因为康熙虚伪，容妃虚伪就­没错。依此逻辑也­可以说因为官员多贪，贪...

莫再留恋，富贵荣华都是假

浪迹天涯，从此并肩看彩霞

可惜了大阿哥的一片深情
