Copperfox

hello copperfox, how are you doing? i'm good how did the first day of the festival go? we need alot of prayer mom's been haveing panic attacks and my dad's in a bad mood, my grama was taken out of assited living because they ripped her off so she's staying with us, have a good week at the festival

It is kind of cold here, too(even though it June).

To bad it rained! I went to a change of command once and I had my feet sit in a puddle for about a hour! It was aweful.

hehe..it has been awhile! i had strayed from Narnia a little, but it still remains in my heart. expect me to start posting once VODT comes out; nothing else to do here in narniafans in the last 2 uneventful years or so

I am sorry this is late but I just wanted to say break a leg tonight! Good luck!

that must have been cool to go in a sub! A ship my father worked on got hit by a sub! He has worked on many mine sweepers and has worked on the USS NEW ORLEANS(LPD 18).Now he is doing something for 3rd fleet(he dosn't like it has much as sea duty).

OK I well :]

I was just wondering but what did you do in the navy?

On second thought, if you follow the Kung Fu novel tradition, it would be perfectly acceptable for Liang to do as you mentioned. And a bad name in the "educated circles" means little or nothing to those of the Kung Fu circles. It's two different worlds out there.

The youngest children start building their vocabulary and learning rhymes by studying the Three Character Classic, the essence of Confucianism in three character phrases; the Thousand Character Classic; and the Hundred Family Surnames, a collection of over 400 common surnames set in groups of four characters and rhyming at every other set.

Older children move on to Mencius, Analects, and other Confucian classics. Those of the Song Dynasty were great fans of Confucius. They also studied the Shih Ching (Book of Songs), the first Chinese collection of poems dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period; and other literature and poems of past ages. History was also an important subject.

Most schools concentrated on subjects such as literature, history, and philosophy. Chinese education never paid much attention to science, it was traditional classics that got one a place in the imperial court. But there were several well-known schools, you could consider them universities, that offered such courses and paid attention to more than mere classics. They were a gathering place for the elite and set many trends in the educated circles.

The one and only reason anyone would take the imperial exam would be to get a position in the government. There are two kinds of scholars in Chinese history: those who want to become an official and serve their nation, and those who are disgusted with the government and imperial court. The latter either leave the government after becoming disillusioned, or never join in the first place, even if summoned by the emperor himself.
Also, though being a merchant may be rewarding . . . materially, scholars rather despise it. Merchants are traditionally considered stingy, shrewd, dishonest people.
So, I would say that refusing a place in the government and taking up merchanting would definitely give Liang Tai-Po a bad name. And if the provincial official enjoys sticking his nose in another's business, he could make life difficult.

Joseph,
As things stand, there is a significant chance of being able to come out for the RenFest. At this point, the practical weekends are July 3-4 and 17-18. There is a small probability of 24-25. Email me at home, or call to discuss this further.
