Hexi Confucianism

During the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains sank and the Hexi Corridor became the last backup of Chinese civilization. There is no cool writing about cavalry here, only persistence under the solitary smoke in the desert. A college director, who taught Quy Nhon College for sixty years, lit up the gap between Hu and Han, leaving an immortal literary spark and classics for future generations. Round on the outside and square on the inside, fighting with Confucianism; passing the fire from generation to generation, leaving hope for the future. When the bells in Chang'an are silent, the sound of books in Dunhuang is the unbroken pulse of China.
