Combat Techniques of Taiji, Xingyi, and Bagua

The combat techniques of Tai Ji, Ba Gua, and Xing Yi were forbidden during China's Cultural Revolution, but the teachings of grandmaster Wang Pei Shing have survived. This comprehensive guide, written by one of his students, selects core movements from each practice and gives the student powerful tools to recognize the unique strategies and skills, and to develop a deeper understanding, of each style. It contains complete instructions for a 16-posture form to gain mastery of combat techniques. The book helps practitioners achieve a new level of practice, where deeply ingrained skills are brought forth in a more fluid, intuitive, and fast-paced fashion.

Contemporary New Confucianism II

As the second volume of a two-volume seminal work on contemporary New Confucianism in China, this book focuses on six leading thinkers of this intellectual movement in the 20th century. Contemporary New Confucianism refers to the Confucianism or Confucian thought that has emerged in China since the 1920s, which aims to revive the spirituality of Confucianism in a changing society. This volume introduces the philosophical thought of Zhang Junmai, Feng Youlan, He Lin, Fang Dongmei, Tang Junyi, and Mou Zongsan, including Zhang's political philosophy and comparative philosophy, Feng's transformation of Chinese philosophy, He's idea of culture and "spirit-only idealism," Fang's comparative philosophy, Tang's idea of moral self and theory of human spiritual realms, and Mou's new ontology for Confucianism. It analyzes their divergences and the contemporary relevance of their thought in terms of revisiting and transforming traditional Chinese philosophy and reconciling Chinese and Western traditions. This title will appeal to scholars and students of modern and contemporary Confucianism, intellectual history, philosophy and thought of contemporary China, and comparative philosophy.

Nghiên cứu sự sống Lê-vi Kí - Trọn Bộ

[Trọn bộ 64 Bài] Khi đến với Lê-vi Kí, trước hết chúng ta cần có một ý tưởng khái quát về tiến triển của khải thị thần thượng. Tất cả những nhà nghiên cứu Kinh Thánh đều biết rằng khải thị của Đức Chúa Trời trong Kinh Thánh thì tiệm tiến. Đức Chúa Trời không khải thị bất cứ điều gì cách đầy đủ trong chỉ một sách của Kinh Thánh. Vì vậy, chúng ta không thể nhìn thấy một quang cảnh trọn vẹn về sự khải thị của Đức Chúa Trời trong chỉ một sách. Sự khải thị thần thượng tiến triển từ giai đoạn này đến giai đoạn khác, t...

The book is set in one locality, Wuzhou (later Jinhua), a prefecture in China’s Zhejiang province, from the twelfth through the sixteenth century.
