I post koan, you answer
A koan is a short story about the interaction between zen masters and their disciples, that's usually not easy to understand.
Some time ago I posted out of the gateless gate by wumen, this time we will use the blue cliff record by yuanwu.
I'll have to leave out the commentary though, since yuanwu talked alot more than wumen and the comments are just too long.
Let's start easy.
This is Case 52: Chao Chou Lets Asses Cross, Lets Horses Cross
A monk asked Chao Chou, "For a long time I've heard of the
stone bridge of Chao Chou, but now that I've come here I just
see a simple log bridge."
Chou said, "You just see the log bridge; you don't see the
stone bridge."
The monk said, "What is the stone bridge?"
Chou said, "It lets asses cross, it lets horses cross."
Chao Chou was a zen master who has pretty famous for putting sandals on his head, but also for telling monks to eat their rice and clean their bowls.
So, What is the stone bridge /his/? Chao Chou already said it all.

Some background of Chao Chou's lineage in pic related.
Chao Chou is also written as Zhaozhou or Joshu.
Also noteworthy is Linji, (jap. Rinzai) who basically founded modern Rinzai zen, also modern guys deviate a lot from his teachings.

A log bridge is as good as a stone bridge for letting animals cross?
>>
>>1141787
Is that a question or your try at answering?
Some more background:
Zen masters were often named after the places where they lived.
Since the masters names often had an interesting meaning or funny titles, these koans sometimes use these meanings as puns.
E.g. Huang Po was named after Mount Huang Po, the mountain where his monastery was.
I'd assume Chao Chou was a town or at least the name of some place known for it's awesome stone bridge.
The monk is obviously not talking about that bridge though, but using it as a metaphor.

How the absolute fuck is Chinese history so ridiculously poorly documented?
What would be considered, in terms of European magnitude a huge travesty, has an entire 3 paragraphs detailing it on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1642_Yellow_River_flood
If Mao's communists supposedly destroyed large amounts of historical documents, how come Russian history is still relatively well-documented post-communism?

There is a lot of attention paid to Chinese history, one wikipedia article doesn't prove there isn't. Another explanation could be that people just find floods boring while things like this are more interesting.

I think you're looking for reasons to be offended. I think the problem is you lack masculinity which is a typical problem among asian males and this is what makes you feel so anxious. Try to relax, go to the gym and start lifting.

Because they are still rewriting their history to fit the Party's narrative. All works must are therefore subject to the Party's discretion.
If they teach actual history, they will be a bane to the One China policy.

ITT, discuss, practice, etc, aspects of classical Latin. OP is a latin student in highschool who plans on acquiring a teaching certificate and a Latin degree. Ask me anything as well. Discuss poems and quotes and grammar if you wish. Discuss books and stuff, too.

So any idea when the idea of treating people poorly based on their ethnic group really took off? I figure that a 'moor' would not be treated well in England back in the middle ages but then again neither would a Scotsman. I was just wondering at what point people started to compartmentalize ethnic groups into who was superior and inferior?

It predates humanity if you believe in the origin of species by method of natural selection.
Otherwise, read your favorite religious text to find out.

Ethnic group? Since the dawn of history bro, he doesn't praise the same god the way I do? He looks a lil differents, eats different things or talks in gibberish? Kill him, maim him or at least loath him. That shit is ingrained in the human mind, from the times we lived in little tribes. Heck, the filthy people than live in the other side of the city? Fuck them, maim them, make them suffer.

Are lowland-Scots descendants of Britons?
Also, when Northumbria conquered south-east Scotland, was there a migration of Angles to that area and if so, did they stay after Scotland re-conquered that area.

Lowland Scots are by and large descendents of the Britons, with some Gaelic admixture in the west and English/Norse/Flemish/Dutch admixture in the east.
>when Northumbria conquered south-east Scotland, was there a migration of Angles to that area and if so, did they stay after Scotland re-conquered that area.
I think it was the other way around. Northumbria basically became a little cluster of Germanics and eventually Scotland annexed some of their territory.
The Angle influx to Scotland mostly happened during the reigns of Malcolm Canmore and David I. Malcolm married an Englishwoman and a lot of her retainers came to live in Scotland and their culture became very influential at court. David I wanted to bring Scotland more in line with England and France, and established the Burgh system, which attracted a lot of English settlers.

Lowland Scots are like Turks, at some point in time they were native to their land but then they got stockholm syndrome and started internalising the foreign culture and language being whispered into their ear as they were raped

>During the American Revolution Benjamin Franklin strongly advocated for the reintroduction of the longbow because it, in many ways, was more lethal than the a flintlock musket.
Was it just a matter of the horrible accuracy of flintlocks? Range?

Franklin thought everyone could learn to be skilled with a bow in relatively short time periods.
He was wrong. Thus, it never happened. B. Frank wasn't infallible.

>>1147527
>training
You need a lot of practise to effectively use a strong longbow
A musket can be put into the hands of a untrained farmer and be lethal with very little training
