  • Superstition and Risk-Taking: Evidence from “Zodiac Year” Beliefs in China
    Superstition and risk-taking: Evidence from “zodiac year” beliefs in China This version: February 28, 2020 Abstract We show that superstitions –beliefs without scientific grounding – have material conse- quences for Chinese individuals’ risk-taking behavior, using evidence from corporate and in- dividual decisions, exploiting widely held beliefs in bad luck during one’s “zodiac year.” We first provide evidence on individual risk-avoidance. We show that insurance purchases are 4.6 percent higher in a customer’s zodiac year, and using survey data we show that zodiac year respondents are 5 percent more likely to favor no-risk investments. Turning to corpo- rate decision-making, we find that R&D and corporate acquisitions decline substantially in a chairman’s zodiac year by 6 and 21 percent respectively. JEL classification: D14, D22, D91, G22, G41 Keywords: Risk aversion, Innovation, Insurance, Household Finance, Superstition, China, Zodiac Year 1 1 Introduction Many cultures have beliefs or practices – superstitions – that are held to affect outcomes in situations involving uncertainty. Despite having no scientific basis and no obvious function (beyond reducing the stresses of uncertainty), superstitions persist and are widespread in modern societies. It is clear that superstitions have at least superficial impact: for example, buildings often have no thirteenth floor, and airplanes have no thirteenth row, presumably because of Western superstitions surrounding the number 13. Whether these beliefs matter for outcomes with real stakes – and hence with implications for models of decision-making in substantively important economic settings – has only more recently been subject to rigorous empirical evaluation. In our paper we study risk-taking of individuals as a function of birth year, and risk-taking by firms as a function of the birth year of their chairmen.

I believed her then and since, I have enjoyed pursuing that goal. She taught me the basics of seeing lines in nature; lines formed on the contact of shadow and light, as well as organic shapes. We also practiced blind contour drawing1. I took this exercise very seriously then, and I have reflected upon these moments of observation as I write this paper.

  • Chinese Animal Predictions for 2021. Year of the Yin Metal Ox (Xin Chou)
    Chinese Animal Predictions for 2021. Year of the Yin Metal Ox (Xin Chou) What does 2021 have in store for you? © Written by Daniel Hanna October 2020 “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.” The Chinese New Year begins a new cycle of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals and in 2021, this will be the year of the Yin Metal Ox. A change in the Cycle will usually bring a fresh start for the year ahead with hope and promise for some form of success; some animals will face more challenges than others in 2021 although each of the twelve animals will be able to make this a promising year ahead once they are aware of any challenges that may come their way. Everyone in the world was faced with big challenges in 2020 and unfortunately, it is more than likely that this will continue through a lot of 2021, bringing health and financial issues to a large number of the world’s population. The year of the Ox will almost likely come with its share of challenges although it is how we handle obstacles that will define how our year will turn out; all of the twelve Chinese animals have everything in their power to overcome any challenges and make this a successful year and when aware of potential risks, they can minimise and even avoid them during the year of the Ox so please read carefully below.

  • Jan Fengshui
    Off Course Feng Shui for Golfers 2009: The Year of the Earth Ox By TY Tan The year 2009, in feng shui and the Four Pillars of Destiny (Bazi) charts, does not start on New Year’s Day, i.e. 1 January 2009, or the upcoming Chinese New Year that falls on 26 January 2009, the first day of the lunar calendar. For the Four Pillars of Destiny or the Bazi reading purposes, the year of the Ox begins only at 0051 hours (120E) on 4 February 2009, when the animal sign changes from the Rat to the Ox. This day also marks the arrival of spring, called Li Chun, of the solar (Hsia) calendar. From my personal experience, however, most of us would relate the change in the animal signs with the start of a new lunar year and hence assume that the year of the Ox starts on 26 January. TY Tan is a graduate of We should be aware of the annual afflictions in feng shui, which are the locations of Tai Sui Chinese Classical Feng Shui (Grand Duke), Wu Wang (Five Yellow) and San Sha (Three Killings).

The suspended sediment in the river affects to the hydrologic, geomorphologic, and ecologic functioning of river floodplains. Commonly used sampling methods are time consuming, labor intensive, and provide only point data. Current studies using re- mote sensing have focused mild waters (e.g. coastal, estuarine, lagoon, lakes and reservoirs) from where the method developed might not be appropriate for highly turbid inland waters. A laboratory spectrum experiment was conducted to investi- gate the reflective nature of sediment-laden water and the impact of sediment types on the reflectance. A spectral mixing algorithm based on a spectral linear mixture modeling approach was developed to estimate SSC from reflectance. We found that the models based on the spectral mixing algorithm were able to estimate SSC as high as 20 g=l. A field survey with on-site spectral and SSC measurements was conducted between the river channel and Sanmenxia reservoir on the Yellow River. The results confirmed an exponential relationship between SSC and reflectance.

  • The Distinctive Paintings of the Sun God and Moon Goddess in the Ancient Ohoebun Goguryeo Tombs
    Korea Journal, vol. 60, no. 2 (summer 2020): 219–241. doi: 10.25024/kj.2020.60.2.219 © The Academy of Korean Studies, 2020 The Distinctive Paintings of the Sun God and Moon Goddess in the Ancient Ohoebun Goguryeo Tombs Hyunkyoung SHIN, Minho KIM, and Udo MOENIG Abstract The murals of Tomb No. 4 of the Ohoebun Goguryeo cemetery, in Ji’an City of present- day People’s Republic of China, display the sun god, Haesin, and the moon goddess, Dalsin. They play the role of mediators or intermediate beings, like shamans, connecting humans on earth and the gods in the sky. This study aims to trace the vitality of Haesin and Dalsin, whose faces are painted with extraordinary realism. The vitality of the paintings and their peculiar energy reflect the artist’s accomplishment. The murals show that the painter believed in animism and that all things were alive. As the Mongolian and Siberian tribes shared the common belief system of shamanism, the Goguryeo people believed in a mixture of Taoism, Buddhism, and shamanism. In particular, the vitality of the realistic faces combined with symbolism connecting the visible and invisible worlds, are characteristics of the Haesin and Dalsin images. This study suggests that the artist’s integrative perception of visual literacy (an ability to see and use images) was a key factor in making the murals look alive, which stemmed from the animistic, shamanistic, and monistic worldviews of the artist, who projected the belief system of the Goguryeo people on to the images. Keywords: Ohoebun Goguryeo tomb murals, vitality of Haesin and Dalsin, Korean art history, animistic world view, shamanism, visual literacy This study was supported by the Youngsan University Research Fund of 2020.

Thirty-six government officials, doctors and professors from 19 BRI countries attended the workshop. The second edition held by the National Chinese Medicine Higher Education Association, the workshop will last for three weeks and showcase various aspects of TCM through lectures, hospital visits, academic salons and cultural activities. Xu Jianguang (徐建光), president of SHUTCM, said the core idea of treatment and prevention embodied in TCM theories complements Western medical principles. That led to the opening of the workshop, aiming to bolster frequent dialogues between the two philosophies. Chen Kaixian (陈凯先), academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered a speech introducing the development of TCM and its contribution towards improving public health conditions.
