heaven and earth, sharing with the universe the harmony or disharmony of the cosmic
energies - the positive, active, masculine yang and the receptive, passive, feminine
yin. These energies flow through the 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.
