Dear Shulei, Zhimeng, All, 

Nice to meet and talk with you on Saturday while hiking an hour north of Pittsburgh. Please, if you can, forward MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's emails to the ~8 other people in your group on an ongoing basis, and as World Univ & Sch seeks to grow China World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China and

There's much to do in developing China World Univ and in Chinese, and as World Univ & Sch proceeds with accreditation with Middle States Commission on Higher Education with offices in the greater Philadelphia area (which also accredits CMU - https://www.cmu.edu/hub/consumer-information/accreditation-and-state-approvals.html  and  probably UPitt).

On Twitter 

Please forward #MITOCW-centric wiki @WorldUnivAndSch to Chinese speaking students re #ChinaWorldUniv - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China in Traditional Chinese https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/traditional-chinese/ -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Mandarin_language_(Chinese) for CC-4  https://ocw.mit.edu/ #WUaSFreeDegrees -







Would all of you Chinese graduate students  like to develop grow China World Univ & Sch in Chinese as a team and out of Pittsburgh? Might we meet up at least once to explore this further?

What is Confucianism ?


Confucianism, also known as Ruism or Ru classicism,[1] is a system of thought and behavior originating in ancient China, and is variously described as a tradition, philosophy, (humanistic or rationalistic) religion, theory of government, or way of life.[2]



Confucianism regards texts such as the Five Classics as examples that should be followed to increase the harmony of the family, social order as a whole, and the world.

Ziran


Ziran is a concept in Daoism that literally means “self so; so of its own; so of itself” and thus “naturally; natural; spontaneously; freely; in the course of events; of course; doubtlessly” (Slingerland 2003, p. 97; Lai, p. 96). This Chinese word is a two-character compound of zi (自) “nose; self; oneself; from; since” and ran (然) “right; correct; so; yes”, which is used as a -ran suffix marking adjectives or adverbs (roughly corresponding to English -ly). It is worth mentioning that in Chinese culture, the nose (or zi) is a common metaphor for a person’s point of view (Callahan, 1989).

The word ‘ziran’ first occurs in the Daodejing (17, 23, 25, 51) and refers to the structure of Dao, which cannot be referred back to anything else.

D. T. Suzuki, in a brief article penned in 1959, makes the suggestion of ziran as an aesthetic of action: “Living is an act of creativity demonstrating itself. Creativity is objectively seen as necessity, but from the inner point of view of Emptiness it is ‘just-so-ness,’ (ziran). It literally means ‘by itself-so-ness,’ implying more inner meaning than ‘spontaneity’ or ‘naturalness’”

If you look this up in a contemporary Chinese dictionary, you’ll find ziran as meaning something like “at ease, natural, free from affectation”. Also, a slightly different pronunciation, but same characters, ziran, you’ll get nature or natural, or naturally, in the ordinary course of events; or “of course”. It has in any case, a fundamentalness, which is what we are trying to achieve (through wu wei, which can be described as “non-assertion.”).

Why is Lao Tzu so revered?

Daodejing (Tao-te ching), commonly translated as the “Classic of the Way and Virtue.” Its influence on Chinese culture is pervasive, and it reaches beyond China. It is concerned with the Dao or “Way” and how it finds expression in “virtue” (de), especially through what the text calls “naturalness” (ziran) and “nonaction” (wuwei).



*

Why is Tao te Ching so revered?



The Tao-te Ching presented a way of life intended to restore harmony and tranquillity to a kingdom racked by widespread disorders.

In essence, it consists of “nonaction” (wuwei), understood as no unnatural action rather than complete passivity. It implies spontaneity, noninterference, letting things take their natural course: “Do nothing and everything is done.” Chaos ceases, quarrels end, and self-righteous feuding disappears because the Dao is allowed to flow unchallenged and unchallenging. Everything that is comes from the inexhaustible, effortless, invisible, and inaudible Way, which existed before heaven and earth. By instilling in the populace the principle of Dao, the ruler precludes all cause for complaint and presides over a kingdom of great tranquillity

Vision Pro: 
Finally, a new Apple device really worth talking about

Google Glass idea




VR AR augmented reality glasses go anywhere in street view

Your Google Maps Experience Is About to Get More Immersive
Exclusive: Google's new creative AR tools promise real-world games, concerts and shopping with Maps-like features add. But Maps itself is transforming, too.

While much of the AR world looks to Apple and its rumored upcoming VR/AR headset, Google is making some moves of its own. The company is planning a mixed reality partnership with Samsung and Qualcomm, and has already experimented with assistive glasses and holographic telepresence booths. Now, the latest software tools for phones announced Wednesday at Google's I/O developer conference point to a continuation of a world-layered set of map-assisted augmented reality experiences that could end up arriving well before a new pair of Google-made glasses ever do. 

Google's new moves come with a bunch of partnerships already underway. Geospatial Creator tools will be supported in Unity and Adobe's Aero. A location-based Space Invaders game from Taito will map onto streets and buildings. Gap and Mattel are making an augmented-reality Barbie clothing pop-up that layers onto city streets. Quintar, a company that's already built AR into the PGA Tour app, tested live AR navigation through golf courses at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Some experimental location-based AR street art using the new tools has already been made in Mexico City, London and LA.
