Men are so useless and should really be dominated by women. Society would probably be much less discriminative, more loving and compassionate if we had matriarchy instead of patriarchy

春秋 (前770-前476)
春秋時期，始於「平王東遷」。他得名於魯史《春秋》。
the Period of Spring and Autumn (770–476 BC)
The Period of Spring and Autumn started from the event of Ping the Zhou Emperor moving the capital eastwards. The period is named after the history document of Lu county of the same name.
Today I came across that the activities of translating and foreign affairs in China can be dated back to that period. Although have encounted this term for thousands of times from history books, this is actually the first time I seriously questioned its naming.
BTW, this is a great internet resource as well :)
and there's something irrelevant I want to mention otherwise I will forget it. That is, when Chinese women tried to climb the social ladders, it was either the process that was very bloody or the result was traumatic. Historically, none of the powerful Chinese women survived in the history books without stigma. The tough struggle they made surely made them hysterious when they finally succeed. Or was it just the way people portrayed them, as mad female politicians? That's all for now.

Shane is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!
Just think about how powerful is television. I mean, the whole cultural industry. They choose the breathtaking love scenes, the peak of conflicts, and all the other exciting moment you only encounter maybe twice a year. In a TV soap, you have them every two minutes. And they are so approaching. They choose the familiar music to keep you, who's sitting infront of an apparatus, as a part of the story. Leonard Cohen in every episode, and portishead accompaning love and confusion, how can I not be enchanted? And yeh, with all these exciting moments, there are those beautiful beautiful people. This TV soap is manipulating me. To be honest, the L word is more appealing to me than sex and city. It's just presenting the ideal world! But I mean, how dangerous is this TV set (I have to say DC++, cos I downloaded it there. But it was scrubbed from a TV set for sure)? It can easily turn a hetrosexual into gay. So it can easily turn a non-christian christian, a non-terroist terroist, a non-communist communist, a pure mind stuffed dust… it's only the matter of the intelligence of the producing group… can you see the evilness of it too?

Writing about an entry you don't have permission to view
Don't have much to write on blog recently, well, having a lot other things to write… but follow the link, there is a very funny quote~~
When the letters don't really make much sense, why do we still care about spelling so much? Is it sort of social obligation/pressure to test whether you are a decent person rather than testing your expressing abilty? We haven't even came across the function of spelling in our Systemic Functional Linguistic approaches…
COMMENT:AUTHOR: Hamid SirhanEMAIL: H.Sirhan@warwick.ac.ukIP: URL: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/hsirhan/DATE: 02/21/2005 04:21:04 上午
Well there are a variety of reasons why.
1) Standardisation and ease of understanding: In "A Trick of Language", the sentences would only make full sense to people who are very fluent in English. If you tried to approach this being a native Arabic speaker you might not be able to comprehend the entire paragraph.
So knowing that s,w,o,r,d is forever sword and not sorde, sord, sworde, saurd, saurde etc is helpful. Standardisation of written language immediately eliminates hundreds of different combinations, especially in such a phonetically-mongrel language as English. Unlike a language such as Arabic, letters are not necessarily complete phonetics. So there are different was to construct written phonetics in English and come up with a suitable representation. So the standardisation of spelling is generally important for written communication in alphabetised languages.
2) History of the language – What's the point of silent letters? They only serve to confuse people! Why is it Knight and not Night (or even Nite)? Why is it Answer and not Anser or Awnsar? Why philosophy and not Filosophy?
The history of the cosntruction of the language is imbued in the writing systems. So the k in knight is brought forward despite the change in pronunciation. At the end of the day, although it seems arbitrary, it is now part of the linguistic construction.
———————————
As a Chinese you can probably appreciate the importance of distinct "spelling", or order in language. If you know around 4,000–5,000 characters in Chinese, you'll be more or less completely fluent. But learning 4,000–5,000 individual characters (albeit many being made up of radicals) is a very difficult task. But each character is imbued with the history of the construction of the word, phonetic representations, pictorial representations etc and even though there might be "easier" ways of written communication, the written language lives on.
Just like English, Mandarin has now been standardised (in terms of order/spelling) and change is now resisted.
In short, it's important to have a standardised language.

TITLE: the Foucault fan club
DATE: 02/10/2005 04:29:57 上午
Feb 10th 2005, 4:16 amI formally stepped into the Michel Foucault fan club. He's absolutely an intellectual superman! I'm currently reviewing his interview in Chinese ,(the one interviewed by Stephen Riggins) I'll get some of the quotations here when I get the English versions in library. It is just as convincing as the Sutras, absolutely amazing, I can't find any other philosophical readings in which my ego would echo as strongly as this one. Through the current revision, I actually found out a lot of my understanding in Buddhism appear in Foucault's sayings. On one hand it might indicate that I m mis-interpreting Buddhism, on the other hand it is just telling how big a fan I am to Foucault!
COMMENT:AUTHOR: Hamid SirhanEMAIL: H.Sirhan@warwick.ac.ukIP: URL: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/hsirhan/DATE: 02/18/2005 04:33:05 上午
I had to read some Foucalt recently… interesting ideas.
I think the best philosophy is essentially that of Bruce Lee
Hears all the groans
No really… Bruce Lee was a great philosopher (he even taught Chinese philosophy at a Uni in the US).
Bruce Lee essentially thought that one should take the good parts of all ideas and apply them to one's own philosophy. So he applied the good parts of different fighting styles (such as Western boxing and the different Chinese gong fu styles) to his own martial arts and he, of course, came up with Jeet Kun Do.
I think that this applies to intellectual thought. So take some of the good out of Marx, Foucalt, Weber – which ever philosopher or economist or politician etc you like and mix and match it.
I really dislike the idea of rigidly following one philosopher and adhering to his thought even when it feels uneasy. So I like the fact that you have taken some of your interpretations of Foucalt and applied them to your own Buddhist philosophy.
So it would be interesting to hear more about how you feel your reading of Foucalt applies to Buddhism and, having read Foucault, your thoughts on the irony of reading Foucault in a different language (ie how his message might have been reinterpretted through translation).
