Hsun Tzu's philosophy is built from the idea that human beings are by nature inherently evil, and the good they produce will only come through their conscious activity. Hsun Tzu believes that if man follows his nature and indulges in his natural desires, without transforming himself by conscious activity he is doomed to fall victim to his evil nature. "Any man who follows his nature will inevitably become involved in wrangling and strife, will violate the forms and rules of society, and will end as a criminal." Despite the pessimistic tone of Hsun Tzu's message he does propose conscious activity as a solution to man's evil. This paper will examine Hsun Tzu's perspective in light of both Mencius

“Floodwater dashed up against the skies... God issued a command allowing Yu to spread out the self-replacing soil so as to quell the foods in the Nine Provinces.” This myth from China’s remote past may reflect stories about the efforts of early rulers to control the flood waters of the Huang River- the mighty river that has been central to Chinese civilization since the earliest of times.” (Holt, World History textbook, 76).

The Shang dynasty spanned from 1500BCE to 1045 BCE in the Yellow River region of modern day China. The dynasty not only lived in the region of the Yellow River, but it was the first dynasty to have any written record. Throughout the dynasty, the kings ruled from five different cities, the best-known city was Anyang. The dynasty was a warrior dynasty that had the advantage of having bronze-tipped weapons and an ideal region to grow crops. The Shang Dynasty’s advancements of having sustainable crops and bronze weapons and allowed them to develop a written language, which created the foundation of Chinese civilization.

By 1100 BCE, the trend of oracle bone inscriptions the size Shang had shrunk considerably due to intrusions by people north and west. They were meant to suggest an increased concentration of power in the hands of the last Shang king, despite being depicted in literary records as coinciding with their dissolution. Consequently, the state of Zhou to the west, a Shang dependency, began to take military action against them. In the Shujing compiled by Confucius narrates of the Zhou kings Wen, Wu, Cheng and Duke Dan when they systematically pushed their influence of territories eastwards from 1122 BCE onwards and took much of Shang territory under their control. As a result of what was to come 78 years later, Zhou forces captured and burned the last Shang stronghold at Anyang as a moral justification against a long reign of corruption.

And this move by Yu constitutes the beginning of Chinese geography. Cartography first appeared in two chapters of Kuan Tzu in 7th century BCE. (p152 Birrel, Anne, Chinese mythology) In The Classic of History, a chapter called “The Tribute of Yu” has some place-names in the text that are recognizable such as Yangtze, Huai Han, and Yellow rivers. Chapters 61 and 96 of Pan Ku’s History of Han (first century A.D.) is the earliest information provided by Han travelers and post-Han surveyors regarding the identification of mythological place-names appeared in pseudo-geographical accounts of Yu controlling the flood. Although the attempts of Han commentators are thought to be quite “void of value,” their texts and the accounts of Yu controls the flood helped Chinese people to divide the provinces and name places. They are also major references in Chinese development of the science of geography. (p153 Birrel, Anne, Chinese

A new design of inscription on the body of the teapot emerged during Shi’s visit to Loudong (modern-day Taicang of the Jiangsu province), a place where many tea connoisseurs resided. Wu Qian did not mention whether Shi had personally meet with Chen Jiru (hao Meigong, 1558-1639), Wang Xijue (1534-1614) and Wang Shizhen (1526-1590), all of whom were well-known local elite in Loudong; however, it was clear that Shi, at some points, had heard of some of their theories of tea tasting and decided to make some new changes to his teapots. Since most of the artisans were not trained to be calligraphers, Shi like all of his contemporary potters, either stamped or carved his personal seals at bottom of the teapots with a bamboo knife during the

Both Lu Xun and Virginia Woolf explore alienation as manifested in the growing emotional distance between people. In Lu Xun’s short story Hometown, the narrator finds himself unable to meaningfully connect with old friends and acquaintances in his hometown, from which he has been away for over twenty years. Similarly, Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf features characters with rich inner lives who nevertheless fail to express their feelings with others. Despite the similarity in symptoms, however, the two authors portray the causes and implications of alienation in disparate ways. While Lu Xun attributes alienation to a kind of spiritual poverty or mediocrity that can be fought against, Woolf provides a more nuanced view where alienation results from people attempting to rise above mediocrity in the first place and is thus almost inescapable.

A journal article authored by Yi Li titled “Is Teacher Professional Development an Effective way to Mitigate Teachers’ Gender Differences in Technology?” describes the results of a study designed to answer whether or not professional development can mitigate gender differences in how teachers perceive technology. The study compares external data collected by the pre-course and post-course surveys of a statewide professional development program.

The study was also found to be deficient in transparently reporting population and sample data and one conclusion was poorly supported by the external data.
