The Iron That Learns to Wait: On the Hard Years
A smith folds iron through a drought that will not end, and in his patience a wider constellation opens — Javanese nrima ing pandum, Stoic prohairesis, Taoist water, Confucian burden, Sufi fire, Vedantic impermanence, Buddhist second arrow. Not how to escape the hard years, but how to be folded by them without breaking.https://legawa.com/2026/07/10/the-iron-that-learns-to-wait-on-the-hard-years/

Is #Confucianism a religion? The #Catholic Church argued over this for centuries. The verdict? For them, it's not! You can be a Catholic Confucian.
So why does Confucius look unfazed? Maybe because he knew that being a good person is the only rule that matters.

The Threshing Floor: On What We Do With What the Mind Brings Us
Di desa, terdapat seorang wanita bernama Mbah Sri yang menampi padi dengan percaya pada angin untuk memisahkan biji dan kulit. Ia mengajarkan bahwa pikiran negatif tidak harus menjadi penilaian tentang diri kita. Menghadapi pikiran, penting untuk menyadari bahwa kita dapat memilih reaksi, tidak terjebak dalam keyakinan yang keliru.https://legawa.com/2026/07/01/the-threshing-floor-on-what-we-do-with-what-the-mind-brings-us/

The Solution (Xunzi's Confucianism): To fight back against this algorithmic control, we can't just rely on our "natural instincts" (because our phones are already hacking those). Instead, we need Xunzi's method of conscious self-cultivation.
Exploring the Vibrant Historical Ties Between China and the Philippines (500 BCE – 1000 CE)
By: WPS News History Reporter
Baybay City | April 20, 2026
The relationship between China and the Philippines has deep historical roots, stretching back over a millennium. From 500 BCE to 1000 CE, these two regions engaged in trade, cultural exchange, and even conflict, setting the foundations for a multifaceted relationship that continues to evolve today.
Archaeological evidence suggests that trade between the early inhabitants of the Philippines and Chinese merchants was flourishing as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). The exchange of goods was primarily facilitated by maritime routes, where Chinese silks, ceramics, and spices found their way to the archipelago, while Filipino products like gold, pearls, and agricultural goods attracted Chinese traders.
As centuries passed, the arrival of Buddhism and Confucianism from China substantially impacted Filipino culture. Local leaders embraced these philosophies, integrating them into their governance and social frameworks. The Philippines became a melting pot of ideas, contributing to the early development of complex societies.
By the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), trade relations intensified, with records indicating that Chinese ships regularly docked in ports like present-day Manila and Cebu. The establishment of trading posts allowed for the thriving exchange of culture, technology, and religion. Filipino communities began to adopt Chinese customs, which further enriched their societal fabric.
However, the relationship wasn’t devoid of tensions. Competition for resources, coupled with piracy along trade routes, led to intermittent conflicts. Notable events included skirmishes between Chinese pirates and local communities, underlining the complexities of the relationship. Nonetheless, these disputes did not diminish the overall trend towards cooperation and interdependence.
The historical ties between China and the Philippines during this pivotal period highlight a narrative of collaboration, cultural diffusion, and economic interdependence. As modern nations, both continue to navigate their shared history while addressing contemporary challenges and opportunities.
In understanding the past, we gain insights into the current dynamics shaping China-Philippines relations, illustrating how historical bonds can transcend time, influencing today’s geopolitical landscape.

Not surprised. Uh, I do not think #China was worrying about any limits. Not one #real #believer in all the world leaders. Not a one. So even if China is officially athiest, even #Confucianism has a faith of sorts by way of respecting #dignity. But there is no dignity for #Uyghurs.

#Laozi (/ˈlaʊdzə/), also romanized as Lao Tzu among other ways, was a semi-legendary Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching (Laozi), one of the foundational texts of Taoism alongside the Zhuangzi. The name, literally meaning 'Old Master', was likely intended to portray an archaic anonymity that could converse with #Confucianism. Modern scholarship generally regards his biographical

#Chán #Buddhism in #China emerged through dynamic interaction with #Daoism and #Confucianism. #Daoist concepts like #spontaneity, non-action, and receptivity shaped Chán’s style and practice, while Confucianism influenced #ethics and social structure. In this post, we briefly examine, who Chán remained distinctly Buddhist, yet deeply adapted to Chinese thought:

"Though the Communist party has tried to re-energize the country under the banner of “Xi Jinping Thought” – which envisions a muscular future powered by hi-tech industries and a revival of Confucian traditions – many Chinese have begun to wonder about the wisdom of striving endlessly for a better future that never seems to arrive."

I'm currently writing up my notes from a travel fellowship where I visited #timebank #MutualAid networks and related projects in USA ...but have randomly come across some stuff about early #confucianism on grassroots leadership and reciprocity and would like to know more but don't know where to start.. particularly interested in works by #Tasan #ChongYagyong on leadership and farming but don't have access to research papers. For the #kdrama fans out there #Tasan is a distant relative of #JungHaeIn .. any suggestions or links to translations would be gratefully received. Thanks

For a time, I became focused on #ZenBuddhism. In hindsight, this was applying my #taoism to a much more tangible form of action / thought. Both of these belief systems were contrary to my father's #Confucianism which emphasized an ordered society regardless of how that impacted individual people.

Yes, absolutely.
But not only in China. Old beliefs & #traditions can survive centuries.
Maybe one reason for successful of religions is if they can adopt the holy places & festivities of their predecessors.
The #CCP is in some parts deeply connected to the Chinese tradition while other parts are fighting it.

I was educated during the end of the cold world when the KMT government in #Taiwan raised a banner of "Chinese Cultural Renaissance" , a direct battle to CCP Cultural Resolution.
Rightly or wrongly my moral sense
is therefore based on #Ruism/ #Confucianism,
So far I find it useful to follow this principle when at #Mastodon

"Nowadays people no longer know how to read. When they read a book, even the Analects, they are the same kind of people before they read the book and after they read the book. This is no different from not having read the book." -- Cheng Yi (1033-1107)
So far most episodes are on Daoism. I like their casual tone and reflection on each topic. The discussion between the hosts does a good job framing the episode’s theme in a memorable way.
Personal favorite episode was their episode on persuasion, where they dive deep into a story about different ways you can (fail to) persuade others, ultimately about different ways you might engage with your own opinions
> Unai is an ancient #Ryūkyūan word meaning 'female sibling godesses' who, according to Okinawan folklore, had the power to protect male siblings from misfortune and accident. Women, for their power to communicate with gods, dominated religious ceremonies and festivals, while men only played supportive roles. As a result of political influences, mainly #Confucianism , the world of #Unai was overshadowed by a male-dominated gender order.

Encountering China: Michael Sandel and Chinese Philosophy
In Michael Sandel the Chinese have found a guide through the ethical dilemmas created by their swift embrace of a market economy—one whose communitarian ideas resonate with China’s own rich, ancient philosophical traditions. This volume explores the connections and tensions revealed in this unlikely episode of Chinese engagement with the West.
