  1. Lady Xing and Master Ming

    Exactly! White & Black Wizards from Final Fantasy Floating Flute Gnu from GNU.org
  2. Lady Xing and Master Ming

    The character for Xìng 性 Life is made up of the radical for xīn 心 heart, and shēng 生 birth (depicted by a plant sprouting from the earth.) For Mìng 命 Destiny the two kǒu 口 mouths are proclaiming lìng 令 decrees (depiction of placing a seal onto a document.) Zhongwen.com - Chinese Characters Etymologies
  3. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    YJJ is perfect for foundation. Daniel Kim’s ShinNa appears to fundamentalize it in such things as “shaking up and down while fluffing out your feathers,” and “dog shaking water out of its fur.”
  4. Issues with the search function

    Google yields even more reliable results if you put site:thedaobums.com in your query. It's a great tip to know as of course works with any other domain name. On a similar note, i noticed when viewing a user's content history (either via the newspaper icon on profile, or the 🔍Find Content popup) it only goes back a few months. To get the full list you just have to click Posts on left side of the window, or from the Content Type drop-down if using a small window.
  5. Considering Private Neidan Subforum

    Scrutinizing from the top-left (ignoring getting yeeted by slang) i got "tv hi ki" (classical for "turn on the television, say hi to qi.") which does in fact remind me of a Christmas long past, when sat for countless hours in front of that glowing phosphor portal, painstakingly reassembling the Triforce of Wisdom. After that I got the bigger picture and received some hooker dinosaur love. That said, it goes without saying there must always be some wiggle room in what constitutes thread derailment or downright goofing. Having a clear declaration of where it should be avoided is a good idea. And I agree it would be nice to be able to represent specific lineages in a respectable and precise manner.
  6. Haiku Unchained

    Once upon a time, Zena the Poet was asked to describe what it feels like to ride a bike. After a moment of reflection, she recited: Balancing on my butt-bone I press my toes onto the pedals As the wind rushes through my hair A thousand years later, Albert the Learned was seen sitting on a block of wood while smushing flower petals under his feet, with a fan pointed at his head. When asked what he was doing, he replied "I am riding a bye cycle! You probably wouldn't understand it."
  7. Why is male sex organ, "阴茎"?

    yin/yang is also associated to hidden/exposed, they reminding you to put that thing away nah but actually: p.38 ISBN 978-1-4327-9689-1

    and heaven and nature sing! have we arrived at the gate?
  9. What do you think about Neidan(內丹)?

    I think sombody mentioned huáng? This might be useful. Who knows? Anatomical Composition of the Mesentery The mesentery is a double-layered fold of peritoneum that suspends the small and large intestines from the posterior abdominal wall while providing a conduit for blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. Embedded within it are autonomic nerve fibers, deriving from both sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which innervate the intestines and mesenteric vasculature. Enteric Nervous System (ENS) Integration The ENS, intrinsic to the gastrointestinal tract, consists of the myenteric (Auerbach’s) plexus between longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers and the submucosal (Meissner’s) plexus within the submucosa. These plexuses can function autonomously to control motility, secretion, and blood flow, and their fibers extend into the mesenteric connective tissue, providing pathways for nerve signals along the tract. Autonomic Control and Action Potentials Sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers pass through the mesentery and synapse with the ENS, smooth muscle, blood vessels, and secretory cells. The smooth muscle of the gut exhibits slow-wave potentials (basic electrical rhythms) generated by Interstitial Cells of Cajal. When these slow waves reach threshold, action potentials are triggered, causing rhythmic contractions. These action potentials propagate via gap junctions and are modulated by enteric and autonomic nerves, ensuring coordinated intestinal motility and peristalsis. Physiological Implication Through the mesentery, the ENS and autonomic nerves transmit excitatory (e.g., acetylcholine) and inhibitory (e.g., norepinephrine, nitric oxide) signals to smooth muscle to regulate contraction patterns, local blood flow, and secretory activity. This allows the mesentery not just to support the intestines mechanically, but also to mediate neurogenic control of digestion and vascular tone.

    Holy crap I'll read up on that! I just bumped an old thread so as not to clutter this one if anything turns out
