Wishing everyone in the People's Republic of China a Happy & Healthy Golden Week!
National Day of China is celebrated in China every year on October 1. It is a public holiday and the celebrations are held over three days. Since most people get holidays in the middle of the week, the week of National Day of China is also known as “Golden Week.” It is also the second-largest holiday period in China. The decision to offer weekdays as holidays was used to boost domestic tourism and to allow families to make long journeys to visit each other. However, the day can be celebrated without visiting your family as well.

The so-called Eight Nodal Days 八節日 (solstices, equinoxes, and first day of each season) are important in the revelations of the Shangqing tradition (ca. 4th century CE). On each of these days, the gods undertake activities to manage heavenly affairs and judge earthly practitioners. Among the nodal days, the Autumnal Equinox is the most important. It is a day of balanced qi, mild sun, and consonance between Heaven and Earth, when the fiery qi of the summer begins to give way to winter. On this day, at midday, the Great Thearch of Higher Sovereignty will ascend to his palace in the Jade Clarity heaven and convene a meeting with other divine beings and transcendent officials to determine the transgressions and blessings of every person on Earth.

This Monday 9/26, come join Dr. Yanning Wang from @floridastateuniversity on @ 11am. Attend in person or via ZOOM.
Dr. Wang will discuss how late imperial China (ca. seventeenth century–early twentieth century) witnessed an explosion of women writers and the flourishing of religious culture, such as Daoist culture. This talk will focus on how women writers created various images of the female immortal to enhance their literary productivity and to meet their emotional needs. These women’s writings highlight their talent as writers and demonstrate the worth of their very existence.

Our very own Director of Research, @maxiu1972, took this incredible photograph on our preserve. This is an Osprey, a very distinctive fish hawk, formerly classified with other hawks but now placed in a separate family of its own. Along coastlines, lakes, and rivers almost worldwide, the Osprey is often seen flying over the water, hovering, and then plunging feet-first to catch fish in its talons. After a successful strike, the bird rises heavily from the water and flies away, carrying the fish head forward with its feet. Bald Eagles sometimes chase Ospreys and force them to drop their catch. In many regions, landowners put up poles near the water to attract nesting Ospreys.

Come join Dr. Ann Waltner from the University of Minnesota on Thursday, October 6 at 11am ET. Dr. Waltner will discuss: Tanyangzi (1557-1580) was a girl born into a proper Confucian family in Ming dynasty China, but from a very young age, she began a strict religious practice, drawing on both Daoist and Buddhist traditions. This talk will focus on her childhood—her religious practice (including visions) and the ways in which her family became her disciples.
