From its start as a pet project of one of the modern era's founding geniuses... "The history of Wuhan University can be traced back to Ziqiang Institute, which was founded in 1893 by Zhang Zhidong [also Chang Chih-tung] (1837-1909), the then governor of Hubei Province and Hunan Province in the late Qing Dynasty... In 1878, the radical Chinese nationalist, Zhang Zhidong, wrote his essay Quan Xue Pian ('China’s Exhortation to Study (and Conquer)') in which he elaborated upon the concept of ti-yong, which meant to 'keep China’s style of learning to maintain societal essence and adopt Western learning for practical use.'” [link to spectator.org (secure)] (less than 50%) [Zhang] "vigorously pressed the late Ch'ing self-strengthening program, establishing an arsenal, iron-and-steelworks, military and naval academies, and schools of mining, agriculture, commerce and industry. [He] encouraged the early reform movement between 1895 and 1898 (see K'ang Yu-wei), advocating a balance between study of the Chinese heritage and adoption of Western scientific and technical knowledge."

And, by "Chinese heritage", he meant the classics, favorite among that category for Confucius humself being the Yi. At the very least, imagery for a private language. And particularly... Hexagram 33, WITHDRAWAL or RETREAT — So precious, so revered for answering every general's lifelong wish: a win against competitors without enduring the uncertainty, expense and often career-ending embarassment of kinetic war. (No fingerpointing. It's all in our global Canon, narratives free for the lifting, taken from here, from there. Everyone can play, with anyone's ball they choose.) Dating back 6,000 years, the Yi's Hexagram 33 "THUN is the hexagram of the sixth month... suggested to King Wen* the growth of small and unprincipled men in the state, before whose advance superior men were obliged to retire, [and] how 'when small men increase in power, the necessity of the times requires superior men to withdraw before them.'" [* Wen & Son: 11th-century BC, arranged hexagrams in their present order, wrote earliest commentaries] — I Ching: Book of Changes; translated by James Legge, 1899; reprinted 1964. Less than 50%. Special added bonus for clarity: Two(!) passages from Confucius's Analects, both involving a charismatic, beloved father (a leader, a fatherland, some cherished patrimony...) undermined by lesser men. Next, if the sons are unified, the organization continues to thrive; if, however, the unprincipled ones are secure in their posts as manager-influencers and unelected 'deep state', the edfice crumbles. Illustrative of the phenomenon, this arrangement of trigrams represents a mountain laboriously rising up, the sky easily retreating from reach. Mind the volcanoes. Expenditures for costly armaments, the bad taste in everyone's mouth after... versus box-lunches for border jumpers, say, even funding endowments for silly fields of study or bankrolling breakaway, negative-imagery art. Meanwhile chastising competitors for infractions centuries back—and, vital to the game: maintaining a steady current of incremental improvements and rigidly enforced unity at home, at least in the press releases, while silencing every kind of dissent. Success. . |
