Your fire character is upside down

[Bedstysifu]

@ancestor000

 It is supposed to be. You need to learn about the use of upside down characters in Chinese culture. Try to google it and you will learn something. The upside down character of "Fire" means patience. But other characters are also used this way.

Thank you for the kind words. I will put up more on the principles in the near future.

[ancestor000]

Thank you so much for your guidance. One piece of advice: stop telling people what they NEED to do.

Watching this make me really miss sitting at your learning tree. I will stop by next time I am in town, hopefully summer of 08.

I like how the character for fire, 'kua', is on its head - I use this also.

Very nice. I have heard of you but never seen you. It's good to see someone who uses the principles. These things are often overlooked.
