    Savage Love

    Back when I lived in SF, Dan Savage had a hilarious column in the free entertainment weekly newspaper and so I read it regularly. Here's an item from his reader advice round-up (I'm only copy&pasting the relevant one).

    Savage Love Letter of the Day: Reader Advice Round-up
    by Dan Savage • Dec 21, 2017 at 1:45 pm



    Recent Savage Love Letters of the Day: A conventional man seeks an abusive relationship, a letter-writer wonders how to dispose of a blow-up doll, and a couple ponders going to a sex worker for their first first threesome. Also, last week's column and Savage Lovecast.

    On ying yin and yang:
    I'm a long time reader and fan of your work. Reading the 12/18/17 letter of the day, I have some info to correct your sentence, "But even if you could find a punchy ying to your punching bag yang..." As a student and teacher of Tai Chi Chuan, it's YIN/yang (not "ying") and, it's the Yin side that is the more "passive" aspect, only not exactly passive in the D/s way you meant. Yin/yang refers to aspects of the natural world. Yin is characterized as slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, and passive; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity, and nighttime. Yang, by contrast, is fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, and active; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime. (Since this is you, I will specify: The feminine/masculine words above, like the others, denote an aspect that can be applied to any gender, including those on the non-binary spectrum.) Yin/Yang together represents the duality of nature: opposite sides of the same coin. For example, there is no light without shade: when the sun shines on an object, it casts a shadow, but it's not a static condition— the sun moves, what was dark becomes lit, and vice versa. Love your work, keep it up, all the best, and here's hoping for a better world in 2018.

    HOHHOT, July 20 (Xinhua) -- The World Record Certification Agency (WRCA) has recognized a Tai Chi patterned crop field in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the world's "largest crop field Tai Chi pattern."

    The Tai Chi pattern is composed of wheat and rapeseed flowers, with a diameter of 1,301.13 meters and a total area of about 1.33 million square meters.

    This landscape was created by Shiwei Farm in its manor on the right bank of the Ergune River, the Sino-Russian border river. The manor is a complex project of agriculture, culture and tourism.

    In recent years, Shiwei Farm has been developing eco-tourism with the local ecological environment and folk culture.

    Tian Yimin, an official of Shiwei Farm, said the certification of "the largest crop field Tai Chi pattern" will help increase the farm's popularity and turn it into a well-known tourist attraction.
