FORTUNES

body along certain lines of force.

CHINESE NAMES
Russell Jones
Chinese Names is in the must-read
category. It is a compilation of the latest work on the
meanings of every Chinese Surname and common personal name.
It is difficult to generalize the application of the names because
the world's Chinese population is made up of diverse customs
and cultures blended with local traditions and idiosyncrasies
so peculiar to the homelands which they have adopted.
But the Chinese are conservative in nature and beneath the changes
can be found many undercurrents of customs which persist and
if they can be identified, will repay the time devoted to their
study.

THE TAOIST
BODY
Kilstofer Schipper
The ancient system of thought known
as Taoism remains today the least well known of the world's
great religions and one of the most inaccessible wellsprings
of Chinese culture. This is largely because Western thought,
despite the unifying insights of recent science, clings to the
notoion of the separation of matter and spirit, body and soul.
Departing from those who understand Taoism solely as a religious
doctrine, the author argues for its inseparability from many
traditional practices of everyday life in China.
