Since 2023, the Henan institute has been conducting archaeological excavations at the site. Its latest research has confirmed that it was a moat-encircled settlement that covered an area of 65,000 square meters, with distinct functional zones located within its boundaries.

“In the central burial area, we have identified a total of over 200 tombs, among which 10 show evidence of wooden coffins,” said Li Jindou, excavation field director at the Jiahu site. Some of the coffins measured about 2 metres in length, 0.6 metres in width and 0.06 meters in thickness, Li noted.

“Soil analysis from their burial context revealed a significantly high concentration of lignin compared to the surrounding areas,” Li said.

According to the institute, the vast majority of tombs in the site’s central burial area contain funerary objects, including bone flutes, turquoise artifacts and pottery, some of which exhibit exceptionally fine craftsmanship.

In addition to the wooden coffins, archaeologists have recently uncovered over 20 bone flutes, with one tomb being the first-known instance of five flutes buried in a single grave.

Lenin: Adventurism [1914] – Perspectives on Political Violence! (11.9.2025)

11/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

If we, as workers, want to wrestle the control of the means of production from our oppressors, then we, as workers, must be worthy of the task. We must build-up the inner and outer strength which becomes so powerful – because it is right – that no resistance can overcome (or prevent) its success. Although there can always be exceptions to general rules – individualist acts of terror remain firmly within the realms of fascism and should be avoided at all costs. A criminal possess rights. They should be arrested, fairly held in custody, given a fair trial, and then either punished or released – depending upon the verdict of the jury. As workers, we can only exercise this type of judicial power if we work hard enough to earn it. We must find ways of overcoming our poverty and transcending the injustices we face on a daily basis – in a civilised and rarefied manner. Being oppressed is an occupational hazard – it need not define your sense of self-worth. As workers, we must be stronger than the suffering that capitalist market forces inflict upon our minds and bodies! As workers – we do not need to resort to venal terrorism!

Italy: Study Finds Winged Lion of Venice Has “Chinese” Origin! (11.9.2025)

11/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

It would seem that between the Tang and (Islamic) Yuan Dynasties (around six-hundred years) this Lion sat dutifully outside a temple (or a tomb) – before being transported to the West and extensively “altered” to suit Western sensitivities – although it is highly likely that very few Europeans knew what an African (or “Indian”) lion actually looked like. Most Chinese lions I have seen are sat-down and I have never seen such an object stood-up on all fours. It would be interesting to see what the Lion in question looked like before the alterations. Finally, it is interesting that the British author (and former Submarine Commander in the Royal Navy) – Gavin Menzies (1937-2020) – wrote a book entitled “1434: The Year a Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance” (2008). He discusses the Chinese delegation that met with Pope Eugenius IV in Florence (1434) – and suggests that China had some type of diplomatic connection with the City States (which included Venice). Those who criticise Menzies’ work – are the same people who would never have allowed for idea that St Mark’s Lion could be of a “Chinese” origin. Given that this Lion arrived in Venice around 1264 – this Chinese Mission would have occurred only 166-years later.

White People Can Be Found Allover China!

On Why “White” People Living in Socialist China Are Loyal Citizens! (10.9.2025)

10/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

n indigenous White person (born in China) must volunteer for service in the People’s Liberation Army, Airforce, or Navy. Such an individual privileged by the Socialist System must fight ALL enemies of a Socialist China and if need be – die on the battlefield – regardless of who the enemy is. Loyalty must be toward the nation of birth – not any other nations – within which the White ethnicity might currently reside. By and large, indigenous White people are loyal to China – the country of their birth. A Socialist China only wants peace with the world – it is capitalism that wants a pointless war. China will protect its White population from all outside threats.

Master Zhao Ming Wang & Disciples - Beijing

Beijing: Qianfeng Daoism Seeks World Heritage Site Designation! (10.9.2025)

10/09/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

From what I have seen from the photographs and footage Western travellers have shown me – Master Zhao lives near the Great Wall of China – and always seems to take his guests to this wonderful location. The Zhao Family Home is situated near (or on the boundary with) the mountainous areas of rural Beijing. Daoist “neidan” practice, as well as Taijiquan, is often practiced in these beautiful environs. Of course, Daoist practice is both “easy” and “difficult”. However, if a curious person is interested in Daoist practice, a good place to start is by reading the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) – or “Way Virtue Class”. This may be coupled with the practice of any form of Taijiquan (or internal martial arts – such as Bagua Zhang/Quan or Xinyi-Xingyi), etc. Much progress can be made in a foundational manner until more specific instruction can be gained from a qualified Daoist Master.
