    Thank you for your introduction to the concept of 同. Ihave read parts of the 仪礼and 周礼in order to understand the use of bronze ritual vessels, but never the 礼记. I am not sure I have the patience to start on such a long book! So much other Chinese literature to read and so many Chinese characters to learn. I really enjoy your explanations of Chinese poetry. Maybe one day you can discuss one of the Chuci.

      Thank you for your kind words. 礼记 is a manual for the rulers and the officials about how to run an empire. It can be a bit tiresome for us common folks. But it would worth your while to read some part of it such as the chapters of 礼运,学记,大学,中庸,etc. They present the basic moral framework for imperial China.
      Yes, I am planning to present one or two of 屈原's poems. His poems are often way too long and complicated to translate and explain. That is why I haven't translated any of this poems. Now he is on my to do list!

    Happy holidays Dr. Gao!! ❤❤❤❤You never cease to impress me with your vast knowledge and I always am inspired and daunted by the great amount of amazing literature from all periods of China - - - I think I need 48 hours in the day so I can read all these fantastic works I learn about through you 😊😅🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Right now I'm on vacation back in Norway and I'm currently reading a book from 2018 'The Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming' - - it has some interesting philosophical perspectives I would love your opinion on someday - I will ask you my questions here or on email! The best wishes for you and everyone you love in 2025 ❤ Love and support!!!

      Thank you!! So happy you are home with your family and friends. I find the first chapter of Dr. Yang's book and had a brief look. It sounds really interesting. I would read the chapter with more attention later. Yes, I am very happy to take a bit break and spend sometime with my family and friends here in Newcastle. Wish you a wonderful holiday!!

    For some reason any comment I submit to your video on filial piety does not get accepted. Not sure what is the problem. I tried to post it on the filial piety video on the community page and that too did not work!!
    It would be understandable if it was the video on ghosts.....
