Well chinese ancient think it is the "qi" makeup the world, but you can not see it ,it is no shape,no smell. Every thing is madeup from it, even your soul, it assembled than the object or life appear,it dispersed than the things gone.<br> The second word:it is a kind of attitude to live,to get alone with others,to solve the problem which your enemies maked and so on.it means don't think too much about your profits currently,just give part of your profits to others or even your enemies, and than you will get what you really want at last.<br> so much for today, the explanation is only a kind of reference,it is not in full.And it is hard for me to write English....any question you can mail me :<a href="mailto:qswii@163.com">qswii@163.com</a><p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2077">swii</a> — Wed Oct 25, 2006 1:15 pm</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[Richard]]></name></author> <updated>2006-10-25T07:50:16+00:00</updated> <published>2006-10-25T07:50:16+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17648#p17648</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17648#p17648"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Re: Help with translation please...]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17648#p17648"><![CDATA[ <blockquote class="uncited"><div><img src="http://www.j-e-d-i.com/file.jpg" class="postimage" alt="Image"><br>Thank you in advance.</div></blockquote>The first one is "rice air", and the second is "blade heart".<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1983">Richard</a> — Wed Oct 25, 2006 7:50 am</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> <entry> <author><name><![CDATA[ITK5]]></name></author> <updated>2006-08-28T13:50:41+00:00</updated> <published>2006-08-28T13:50:41+00:00</published> <id>http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17258#p17258</id> <link href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17258#p17258"/> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Help with translation please...]]></title> <content type="html" xml:base="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=17258#p17258"><![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.j-e-d-i.com/file.jpg" class="postimage" alt="Image"><br>Thank you in advance.<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1181">ITK5</a> — Mon Aug 28, 2006 1:50 pm</p><hr /> ]]></content> </entry> </feed>
