Synopsis

Liu, personal name Yunqing, courtesy name Yuanshan...

He began his career in prefectures and counties, promoting prosperity and strengthening the frontier. He taught the barbarians and transformed the people, gathering them into cities, linking fields with roads and rivers with seas. He revived countless neglected enterprises and introduced cotton from Tianzhu. With the revival of weaving, the people of the Nine Provinces were clothed...

Later, he was promoted to the central government and brought harmony to all under heaven. He did not suppress the consolidation of landholdings or silence the people's complaints. He encouraged commerce and maritime trade, selling the Khitan's wool and once more reviving weaving to fill the state's coffers. He abolished the salt monopoly and won over the Dangxiang, promoted the tea-horse trade, and brought in the northern kingdoms...

The Duke once said: “Every thread, every strand, every warp and weft, all woven together: it is simply the art of textiles! Nothing serves to enrich the people and strengthen the nation better than this!” After achieving his goals, he retired from public life. He revived weaving three times and built a steam engine...

In the Name of Infinity

💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦 The sea embraces all rivers. I read a bit of everything, and that makes me happy! I can be picky, but I don't stick to just one thing. That's right, that's the kind of person I am!

My Favorites

2018 was a busy yet fulfilling year, and before I knew it, it was already drawing to a close. As a panda cub, chewing bamboo and acting cute every day is actually pretty hard work. Even so, in between all the busyness, I read many wonderful books. Looking back, I read far too many books in 2018, more than the bamboo I usually chew.

Moderator's Picks

If you enjoy these, remember to follow and leave a heart ❤! Books that don't get enough hearts will be replaced with others. I haven't included the most popular books. Most are good reads that are moderately popular, along with some new seedlings. There are books about attaining the Dao, and books about beginning the path of cultivation. New seedlings are appealing for their imaginative ideas. Many can really surprise you, but sadly, some lose their shine and soon go on hiatus or get abandoned.

Beauty Between the Pages

Sharing a version of Zhuangzi's 'You Are Not a Fish' featuring a nitpicker, for everyone's amusement. (I made a few changes, replacing Huizi with Gangzi, the nitpicker!) Zhuangzi said, “The minnows swim about so freely. That's the joy of fish.” Gangzi said, “You're not a fish. How do you know what fish enjoy?” Zhuangzi said, “You're not me. How do you know I don't know what fish enjoy?” Gangzi said, “You're not me. How do you know I don't know that you don't know what fish enjoy?” Zhuangzi said,
