Book Delivery

[Sacrar]

Hi Sacrar, what does P5 in "P5 (emperor)" stand for?

The steps of life, in Chinese it is called "Shí Ér Cháng Sheng". Jack Chiu calls them "twelve cyclic stages of wuxing". Emperor (Di-Wang) or Stage 5, corresponds to a mature stage, of maximum splendor, with very strong external support.

To All,

Just an update.

The books were actually first delivered on Friday (11/1) and I was not home. The Postperson left a postal card stating the package was at the Post Officer. But they re-delivered on Saturday (and I was home). I saw the postal card this morning and went to the P.O. today to confirm - not another package.

Ah yes, the 十二長生!

Jack Chiu calls them "twelve cyclic stages of wuxing". Emperor (Di-Wang) or Stage 5, corresponds to a mature stage, of maximum splendor, with very strong external support.

Or the twelve life stages, or the twelve Qi phases etc.  There are 12, but I only use these 4 Qi phases in Liu Yao practice: 長生、帝旺、墓、絕 --> Growth, Peak (Di-Wang), Tomb and Vanished.
