The Hakka Cookbook


Book Description

Veteran food writer Linda Lau Anusasananan opens the world of Hakka cooking to Western audiences in this fascinating chronicle that traces the rustic cuisine to its roots in a history of multiple migrations. Beginning in her grandmother’s kitchen in California, Anusasananan travels to her family’s home in China, and from there fans out to embrace Hakka cooking across the globe—including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Peru, and beyond. More than thirty home cooks and chefs share their experiences of the Hakka diaspora as they contribute over 140 recipes for everyday Chinese comfort food as well as more elaborate festive specialties. This book likens Hakka cooking to a nomadic type of "soul food," or a hearty cooking tradition that responds to a shared history of hardship and oppression. Earthy, honest, and robust, it reflects the diversity of the estimated 75 million Hakka living in China and greater Asia, and in scattered communities around the world—yet still retains a core flavor and technique. Anusasananan’s deep personal connection to the tradition, together with her extensive experience testing and developing recipes, make this book both an intimate journey of discovery and an exciting introduction to a vibrant cuisine.




Taoist Astrology


Book Description

This guide brings Chinese astrology back to its ancient roots, providing all the information you need for understanding one of the world's oldest systems of divination. The ancient Chinese people developed a sophisticated science of astrology that continues to have profound influence in China today. Rooted in the fundamentals of Taoism, it evolved into a system vastly different from Western astrology. Rather than determining personality by the time of the year in which you are born, in Taoist astrology it is the year itself that determines your character. The years form a twelve-year cycle of signs, each named after an animal. Additionally, your personality depends on which of the five traditional Taoist elements you are born under--water, wood, fire, earth, or metal. This makes for a cycle of sixty unique signs. Taoist Astrology includes information for each sign's personality, compatibility, child-parent relations, and rising and falling fortunes during the twelve-year cycle. Discussions of yin and yang, Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoist alchemy, and the connection between Taoist astrology and Western astrology give you all the background you need for understanding one of the oldest systems of divination known to humanity. Taoist Astrology differs from other books on the subject by grounding its concepts in the ancient traditions from which it originated.




Decoding Ancient Chinese Vs. Vietnamese Zodiacs


Book Description

Ancient Chinese zodiac's origin was still unknown to this day. Beside the emperor Jade legend for children, we do not know much about it. It was told that the Chinese zodiac was spread from China to other Asian countries, therefore many zodiac variations exist today. Was there any reason why the Rabbit sign was replaced by the Cat sign, the Pig became the Boar? the Sheep could be the Goat and vice versa? Why was the majestic Dragon belittled to the same level of all other earthly animals? Were these zodiac animals chosen randomly? Did their position in the zodiac have a meaning at all? And finally did the original inventor(s) of the Chinese zodiac ever intend to leave a coded message for his/their fellow humans? You will be surprised that the new evidence will show that they did. The message embedded in the ancient Chinese zodiac was so artfully scripted that no one could unmask it until this day. How could it be? the zodiac was so old and how could it be hidden for thousands of years? It turns out that it is a common phenomenon after all. The Egyptian hieroglyphs were finally decoded just a century ago when a French scholar named Jean-François Champollion discovered the Rosetta stone that contained three translations of a same text written in Egyptian hieroglyphs and deciphered it successfully. Of course the Chinese zodiac does not contain hundreds of scripted symbols but its twelve symbols remain elusive to this day. No one knows the true story, only a children oriented legend exists. As a matter of fact, for the Chinese zodiac, more than a puzzle, not only you will have to put all the pieces into their original places in order to see the actual image but you will have also to find the right filter in order to see the hidden the path of the inventor's thinking and this hidden path will lead you to the final place where the true message is revealed. When you can read the message then everything will become clear and the message will even surprise you more: it contains an amazingly the first declaration of freedom for mankind - an universal value that we all cherish today. Last but not least, the message will also reveal who were truly its inventors. All in all, this extraordinarily coded message is finally revealed for the first time. So how was it secretly embedded in the zodiac? The book will explain it all.All the Chinese ideograms of the zodiac signs, at first look, do not resemble anything, let alone the animals they stand for. Most Chinese scholars said that the ideograms represent the calendar hours, months and years therefore they did not have any etymological bearing with the animals themselves, but rather an astronomical meaning. Unfortunately the etymology for these ideograms do not reveal anything meaningful. Now if we take a deep look into the drawing of these ideograms, especially their equivalent in other ancient scripts of the Chinese writing system (Traditional, Bronze, Seal, Liushutong, Oracle bones) then compare them with the animals they represent, you will be surprised that they actually mean something totally relevant. Finally you will see the mystery behind the drawing of these ideograms. Moreover they will you what original animals they stood for.
