Mair 14 Heavenly Revolutions

Recommended Posts

The extraordinary opening of this chapter takes the form of an extended series of riddles like those posed by ancient Indo-European seers and magi.  It temporarily returns to par with the other heaven chapters by having a pseudo Master Chuang discourse clumsily upon the relative merits of humaneness and filialness.  The remainder of the chapter, however, includes the magnificent description of the Yellow Emperor's transcendental ritual music and a group of interesting colloquies between Confucius and Lao Tzu.

I guess all we can say is that it's Mair's way of expressing his thoughts.  For him perhaps they are riddles?
