  • Ancient Chinese Constellations Junjun Xu Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Room 424, Apartment 20, No
    The Role of Astronomy in Society and Culture Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 260, 2009 c International Astronomical Union 2011 D. Valls-Gabaud & A. Boksenberg, eds. doi:10.1017/S174392131100319X Ancient Chinese constellations Junjun Xu Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Room 424, Apartment 20, No. 37 Xueyuan Street, Beijing, China email: [email protected] Abstract. China, a country with a long history and a specific culture, has also a long and specific astronomy. Ancient Chinese astronomers observed the stars, named and distributed them into constellations in a very specific way, which is quite different from the current one. Around the Zodiac, stars are divided into four big regions corresponding with the four orientations, and each is related to a totem, either the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger or the Murky Warrior. We present a general pattern of the ancient Chinese constellations, including the four totems, their stars and their names. Keywords. China, constellations, mansions 1. Introduction Three enclosures, four symbols and twenty-eight mansions characterise the ancient Chinese constellations. This division of the starry sky began to appear in China before the Zhou and Qin dynasties. The three enclosures refer to three areas around the North celestial pole: the Purple Forbidden enclosure, the Supreme Palace enclosure and the Heavenly Market enclosure. The four symbols are distributed near the ecliptic Zodiac and the lunar orbit and are represented by four totems: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North. Every symbol was divided into seven sections which were know as mansions.

    CHAPTER 1665 This sound penetration is extremely strong. All over every corner of Li’s ancestral home. Everyone was shocked by this huge sound, and they all came outside the house of Li Jiazu. “hiss!” Seeing the scene before him, everyone gasped. Because outside the Li family’s ancestral home, there are densely packed soldiers… Can’t see the head at a glance. Looking at the flying flags, everyone recognized that this was the one hundred thousand Iron Brigade. Next to him are Ray’s Shura Army and Fan Shengnan’s Great Wall Army. Azure Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger… Heavenly Tribulation and Eighteen Horses; Dragoon Ghost army Heavenly Army, Earth Army, Xuanzi Army, Yellow Army; … Familiar faces. A hot-blooded man. Once they followed the God of War battlefield to kill the enemy. But the times have changed, after the era of warriors. These modern armies have all been abandoned, and few people can remember them anymore. They almost disappeared from public view. These are all undefeated teams! But now the national crisis is at stake. They stood up again. Even in the face of powerful warriors, they resolutely wanted to fight. Everyone has the same idea-to shed blood and sacrifice for Erudia! Shocked! Everyone in Jiangbei was shocked by the army in front of them! “Three hundred thousand troops, please go out of the mountain to protect Erudia and repel foreign enemies!” The 300,000 army knelt down to the ground and shouted together. Today’s main forces are all warriors, especially those who take the lead are the powerhouses of the supreme fourth and fifth heavens.

  • THE HISTORY of TAEKWONDO by Glen R
    THE HISTORY OF TAEKWONDO By Glen R. Morris A Report for Recommendation Black Belt Testing 1994 Before I get into the history of Taekwondo, I would like to define what it means. I read the definition from many books and the one that I like best comes from the book Comprehensive Asian Fighting Arts (1) written by Donn F. Draeger and Robert W. Smith. "Taekwondo is an empty-hand combat form that entails the use of the whole body. Tae means "to Kick" or "Smash with the feet," Kwon implies "punching" or "destroying with the hand or fist," and Do means "way" or "method." Taekwondo thus, is the technique of unarmed combat for self defense that involves the skillful application of techniques that include punching, jumping kicks, blocks, dodges, parrying actions with hands and feet. It is more than a mere physical fighting skill, representing as it does a way of thinking and a pattern of life requiring strict discipline. It is a system of training both the mind and the body in which great emphasis is placed on the development of the trainee's moral character." Taekwondo is a martial art that in "todays" form of self defense has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Korea over the last 2,000 years and some martial arts styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung-fu with native kicking techniques. Over fifty typically Chinese circular hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo.(1) A few of the earlier martial arts styles that contributed to Taekwondo are: T'ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup and Tae Kwonpup.

Curby1 ABSTRACT. Published research after the 2004 Olympic Games indicated that in the combat sports of boxing, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling, and freestyle wrestling, the combatants in red won more often than those in blue in each sport. This prompted several subsequent studies, including team sports, the role of judges and officials, and other factors that could contribute to a unfair bias against what is thought to be a random and benign assignment of uniform color. To further examine a possible competitive bias in wrestling because of uniform color, this study examined the results from the 2015 Senior World Wrestling Championships.

  • The Symbol of the Dragon and the Tiger in Chinese and Japanese Art
    THE RULERS OF SKY AND EARTH THE SYMBOL OF THE DRAGON AND THE TIGER IN CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART Grade Level This lesson is written for grades 9-12; it can be used in a World History or an Art class. Purpose To look at how symbols of power, the dragon and the tiger, are portrayed in the art of China and Japan; students will then compare and contrast this with the Western conception and portrayal of the dragon. Concepts In the Western world, dragons are portrayed as evil, fire-breathing creatures that must be subdued and killed by heroes. The Western dragon is seen as essentially negative, a symbol of evil and a sign of the devil. In Asia, the dragon is a positive force, a symbol of peace and harmony. Chinese and Japanese dragons are considered to be benevolent and auspicious. They breathe water rather than fire and have the power to bring rain, an important attribute in an agricultural society. The Chinese dragon is a supernatural, mythical creature that inhabits the sky and the waters and is connected with clouds, rains, and fertility on one hand and the emperor and his venerated ancestors on the other. For the last 4,000 years, the dragon has intertwined itself into all phases of China's social and political life as well as every form of art and literature. The dragon is the most important symbol of power, and the symbol of the emperor; no other animal has occupied such an important place in the thought and art of the Chinese people.

  • Biomechanical Head Impact Characteristics During Sparring Practice Sessions in High School Taekwondo Athletes
    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Pediatr 19:662–667, 2017 Biomechanical head impact characteristics during sparring practice sessions in high school taekwondo athletes David M. O’Sullivan, PhD,1 and Gabriel P. Fife, PhD2 1Department of Sports Science, Pusan National University, Busan, Republic of Korea; and 2Department of Health and Human Performance, Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to monitor head impact magnitude and characteristics, such as impact loca- tion and frequency, at high school taekwondo sparring sessions. METHODS Eight male high school taekwondo athletes participated in this study. The head impact characteristics were recorded by X-Patch, a wireless accelerometer and gyroscope, during 6 taekwondo sparring sessions. The outcome measures were the peak linear acceleration (g = 9.81 msec2), peak rotational acceleration, rotational velocity, and Head Injury Criterion. RESULTS A total of 689 impacts occurred over 6 sessions involving the 8 athletes. There was an average of 24 impacts per 100 minutes, and there were significant differences in the frequency of impacts among both the sessions and individual athletes. In order of frequency, the most commonly hit locations were the side (38.2%), back (35.7%), and front (23.8%) of the head. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that there is a relatively high number of head impacts experienced by taekwondo athletes during sparring practice. According to the rotational acceleration predicting impact severity published in previous research, 17.1% of the impacts were deemed to be a moderate and 15.5% were deemed to be severe. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2017.1.PEDS16432 KEY WORDS biomechanics; injury and prevention; acceleration; trauma AEKWONDO has been an official Olympic combat 7.1–11.7) compared with 2.3 (95% CI 2.2–2.4) per 1000 sport since 2000 and is well known for its full con- athlete exposures, respectively.
