The Lunar New Year kicked off this Tuesday and, while people around the world celebrated, Google cheered online with its own Doodle. It’s the biggest holidayof the year for Chinese communities and marks the first day of the Year of the Pig in the Chinese Zodiac. In this zodiac each year in a twelve-year cycle is attached to a certain animal sign — and because each animal is associated with particular traits, people are planning accordingly.

In recent years, it is not uncommon for temple recruitment to require applicants to reach English Grade 6; among the monks of the Longquan Buddhist Temple in Beijing, many famous elite masters are also hidden scholars. Nowadays, monks and nuns who understand English should not be surprising.

But before looking at the interpretation of this nun, you won't know that the mysterious and profound Buddhism can be translated so clearly and easily, and it is eloquent.

In the history of Middle East, there was one Mongolian Khan who was believed to be a Buddhist, however, later recognized as a Saint Knight in Christianity and also a Sacred Guardian by Tibetan Buddhists.

There is an interesting view that has been floated around the former Soviet Union here recently. This view pertains to economics and positive force in creation of the middle class in the United States. Prior to the Cold War, many US Communists were deported to the Soviet Union. Deportations are largely believed to have lit a fire in Communists;

Military strategists, business moguls, and statesmen have long looked to the ancient Chinese strategist Sun Tzu to gather down to Earth advice on how to reach all their target goals. However, Sun Tzu is not just a philosopher for the elite. His advice has merit to everyone, and he can teach each and every one of us something about how to achieve our goals with as little conflict as possible.

When I was a young kid, I watched TV shows that addressed life after death topics. The stories followed a similar format. A person was interviewed, who explained they had died either from a tragic accident or struck down from illness, but rescuers rushed in to help restore them to life.

Many ancients saw ominous warnings in the sky. It is no big secret that stock traders and investors can be as superstitious as the mystical priests of Pharaoh’s high court.

Last week, the extremely rare Blue Moon was visible, and it was immediately followed by a Blood Moon.

Cleveland, OH – Jan 29th, 2018 — Cleveland Contemporary Chinese Culture Association (CCCCA) and Cleveland Contemporary Chinese School (CCCS) in partnership with the City of Cleveland are pleased to announce that the 11th Ohio China Day Celebration will be held on Saturday, February 24th from 11:00am to 5:00pm at The Cleveland Public Auditorium, 500 Lakeside Ave, Cleveland, Ohio.

As automation and robotics begin to take over jobs that were largely staffed by semi-skilled workers, it is time for soon-to-be outsourced workers to change their skill sets.

In an article published in the U.S. publication “Forbes” back in November of 2017, a study by the McKinsey Global Institutes estimates that between 400 to 800 million jobs will be lost, globally, to automation and robotics by 2030 (Forbes.com, 2017). With the almost predictable outsourcing of human capitol to technology, it is time that we humans look at how we will maintain meaningful employment in the not so distant future.

For all of you that are not familiar with the intelligence jargon, and even for those of you that are, I am going to introduce you to a term you may want to know; SOCMINT. SOCMINT is essentially the combination of the three words "Social", “media”, and “intelligence”.

Being born and raised in Communist China, I was taught to believe in materialism and atheism, but what happened recently has challenged my belief.

The United States was reborn in 2016. Why I said that?

The country was founded on July the 4th, 1776. It was 240 years ago from 2016. America has survived four sixty years since 1776. According to Chinese Lunar Calendar, sixty years is a cycle of the combinations of the ten Heavenly Stems (天干) and the twelve Earthly Branches (地支), because the least common multiple of ten and twelve is sixty. Chinese use Bazi, eight characters of the Stems and the Branches to represent a certain moment on the Lunar Calendar.

(On April 14, 2015, two days after Hillary Clinton anounced her presidential bid, a Chinese Bazi master predicted that she would have difficulty of winning the Election.)

People can escape the places they don't like, but not the principle of karma. People can cover all of the things they did, but the look in their eyes tells everything. A lot of people won't believe it unless they experience the adversity unchangeable by the human power. Mine was my way to the marriage. For Hillary Clinton, it's her defeat in the 2016 Presidential Election.

One of the most common questions that Americans ask me is , "Do you Chinese eat dogs and cats?" Jokes about Asians eating dogs and cats are prevalent on the Internet, a stereotype that Chinese eat everything. I told them that only a few of minority ethnic groups eat dogs, most people not.

My husband’s mother died in an accident over twenty years ago. He sought many ways to communicate with her, by telling her his life, feelings, and how he missed her. He even practiced meditation, visualization, third eye, and other mystical methods.

His bookshelf is full of books on supernatural topics. He wants to convince himself that his mom’s spirit remains alive in another dimension.

One of my American friends told me that there was a Chinese student in his class when he was in high school. In his first year at school in the United States, he couldn't understand English and just knew the alphabet.

The study of Feng Shui, also called Kan Yu (堪舆), has developed since the Warring States Period（475 BC, or 403 BC—221 BC）in ancient China. It's about harmonious interactions between human beings and nature.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, I bought a crimson background tie-dye dress from the Beijing Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market. The colorful whirls on the fabric looked like passionate burning flames with different spectrums of halos around them.

Many people criticize TV violence that pervade mass media in the United States of America. However, Chinese kung fu is acknowledged as respectable“martial arts” by Americans.

That means kung fu is not a solely fighting skill used to encourage violence, but perceived as a kind of arts, consisting of Chinese philosophy.

Many Americans are beginning to take notice that their Chinese friends appear healthy and do not gain weight so quickly. According to one woman speaking to CNTV, she pointed out that her best friend stayed in Beijing for only one year and she lost 50lbs. She wondered if the Chinese would like to share any special tips on healthy living habits.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used by the Chinese as their main medical treatment for thousands of years. Beijing has legalized its use, standardizing the criteria of treatment and pharmaceutical products.

Due to its effectiveness, TCM holds much influence in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Even though modern Western medicine was introduced to East Asia in the 19th century, TCM remains popular.
