Beijing Excellent Trip

CCTV has a way of broadcasting great mind-opening programs. As we arrived with jet lag and were watching programs in the wee hours, there was a Jiangxi Tao mountain pictures program which showcased glacial era rock formations, I believe, led to the earliest Taoist human development. This encore une fois (one more time) bravo TV program gave another marvelous show on the the First Emperor of China. It gave the jade dark green with the China Proper architecture, set in Xian, wood palaces. After 20 years since 1988 as the museum head of the Terra Cotta warriors, archeologist Yuan Muyi, gave his insights and the interview let him flow out his words after years of dedicated works, every word rings historic remarks that are not from text books. This innovative remarks come from comprehension of his works, I have similiar words and thoughts to say about Shang dynasty vs Zhou dynasty as he has the words about Han dynasty vs Qin dynasty. My specialty in Shang generates from my own heritage and bloodline, it is innate to me and Zhou finished Shang, so that Shang was demonized and nothing but criticism of unkind cruelty. This is what expert on Qin culture, Yuan Muyi said about Han dynasty, that it was propaganda about a beautiful and graceful culutre, as the advanced technology and sculpture was ranked supertbly, that no thousands of artisans worked on such a magnificent scale ever on the world terrain. What he didn't say and I would like to tell Mr. Yuan Mu Yi is that China's Shang dynasty's bronze and artisans of Sculpture predated Qin dynasty. The Qin crown prince Su and his adviser General Meng Tian built up the Great Wall, by linking multitudes of regional walls. From Qin dynasty relics (Qin is at the end of Zhou dynasty), I can see the Shang palace, and the color, architecture is all there. I like Qin Shi Huang, because I love Chinese, and China Proper and once it was able to rein in its art, military to the splendid level. Qin unified China, and the bloodline of China Proper. Its beauty was never again to rein itself on its proprietary domain, and its descendants and works of art is to leave traces only in Kyoto and enclaves of foreign lands, never to be on its soil. Once China was still not yet in one China, it has the very deep line and cultural distinction, from the border that separated Qin culture to Chu China Proper culture.

Autumnal Equinox 秋色連波 The Autumn is Coloring Wave after Wave

On the first day of Autumn, I remember the Northern Soong great beautiful poem 范仲淹,字希文，北宋政治家，文學家,蘇州吳縣人

蘇幕遮（怀舊), 范仲淹

碧云天，黃葉地。秋色連波，波上寒煙翠。 山映斜陽天接水。芳草無情，更在斜陽外。 黯鄉魂，追旅思。夜夜除非，好夢留人睡。 明月樓高休獨倚。酒入愁腸，化作相思淚。

Su Drape Cover (Missing Old Days)

by Fan Zhong Yan, Northern Soong, statesman, literature scholar of Jiangsu, Suzhou

Cloud green day, yellow leaf ground Autumn coloring waves after waves Cold frost smoky green on wave Mountain reflection sun set to connect the heaven to water No more emotion with the fragrant grass Still outside of the the slanting sun Dark country home soul Just travelling thoughts pursuit Night after night is otherwise Good dream saves for you to sleep Bright moon tall building don't lean alone on the rail The wine gets into your worrying intestine And it turns into missing you tears

Dixie

The song "Dixie" was written in 1859 by a Northerner, and was used in minstrel shows, in which whites played black characters, because black performers were prohibited. The song describes a freed slave who misses his former life as a slave. This song was popular with the Southerners because of its use as political propaganda, and became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy.

Sheet music depicting a minstrel show.

The origin of the name "Dixie" is not known for certain, but one theory is that it originated with the $10 bills issued in New Orleans, Louisiana banks and printed in French. "Dix" means "Ten" in French.

I wish I was in de land ob cotton, Old times dar am not forgotten; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. In Dixie Land whar I was born in, Early on one frosty mornin, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Old Missus marry "Will-de-weaber," Willium was a gay deceaber; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. But when he put his arm around'er, He smilled as fierce as a forty-pound'er, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

Dar's buck-wheat cake an 'Ingen' batter, Makes you fat or a little fatter; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Den hoe it down an scratch your grabble, To Dixie land I'm bound to trabble. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

Flag Changing Day for the Nationalists 1928 東北易幟 Northeast Flag Replacement

Flag of the Republic of China, 1928 to present

Beiyang Government's "Five Color" flag, 1912-1928.

Wikipedia gives precise historical information.

From Wikipedia's list of newest articles: Chinese reunification (1928), better known in Chinese history as the Northeast Flag Replacement is a historical term that refers to Zhang Xueliang's announcement in December 29, 1928 on replacing all banners of Beiyang Government in Manchuria to the flag of the Nationalist Government, thus nominally uniting China under one state.

Note: This is perceived as a unification day because the flags were all changed to one flag. Throughout Chinese history it has always been split and reunited, now the issue is reuniting between the Nationalists and the Communists, to come up with one flag that will be accepted by all. No one has forgotten about the history and the Nationalists, rejoice. The world has the capability to know what happened. I’m proud of being a Nationalist descendent and to see that the recognition of the proper history is done on the website of our modern day electronic Encyclopedia press, Wikipedia webpage. It gives an accurate reflection of the historical events on any particular day. The Nationalists were one of the world’s first to implement the up to date news system, in which new stories are continually updated and roll across the screen, this was done before China Sina, U.S. Capitol News, Wikipedia, Google, etc. Though retreating to the island of Taiwan, they had the most innovative new thinkers and media organizations to implement one of the world’s first versions of electronic media up to date news, only now it becomes available to the US high tech minded readers. For anybody interested in world timely news, geo-political news, it is of foremost importance to have the right tools, sources of information, data on hand, whether it is the Mexican election, assemblage of all electronics news, by writers for major newspapers such as New York Times, Washington Post, Australian news, BBC, Chinese News, all part of the web net to grasp the incoming data, and enable to see the world. Comments: Keep up with the good traditions. Discover the virtues that have been buried. Don’t give up the Democratic system in the Republic of China in Taiwan. Reunite and go back to China. But do make reforms!
