Hi Louis, I really have no problem with the metaphors pre se, and agree that the ideas of rising and falling can be linked culturally and semantically to going forward and backward.

Turn, Rotate, Revolve, Spin
Hi,
along the lines of Audi's last questions. What exactly do you make of the distinctions among
pi shen
zhuan shen

Hi Gene, funny, I was on jury duty last year. It was a case about a neck injury. The doctor brought by the claimant was a real shady character. But, to counter him, the defense brought in experts on both the practice and theory of MRI. Anyway, the stuff takes pictures by using the magnet to line up ...
