Topic: Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals

	Yang Xiong [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The amalgamation of Confucianism, yinyang, and wuxing theory is especially evident in the writings of the scholar Dong Zhongshu (179-104 BCE), whose Chunqiu fanlu (Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals) illustrates a synthesis between Confucian ethics and an amalgam of yinyang and wuxing cosmology.
		For example, within the fanciful descriptions of Imperial grandeur found in the Ganquan fu (Sweet Springs Rhapsody), Yang Xiong indirectly admonishes Emperor Cheng to be more solemn in conducting affairs, suggesting through allusion that, like the lascivious tyrant kings Jie and Xia, Emperor Cheng’s wanton conduct would lead to his downfall.
		In the Jiaolie fu (Barricade Hunt Rhapsody) and the Changyang fu (Changyang Palace Rhapsody), both of which commemorate imperial hunts, Yang Xiong indirectly criticizes the hunts as lavish, wasteful spectacles that burden the peasants and destroy their farms and farmlands.

	Chapter XI. Darwin, Charles Robert. 1909-14. The Voyage of the Beagle. The Harvard Classics
		I have already mentioned the sombre and dull character of the evergreen forests, 3 in which two or three species of trees grow, to the exclusion of all others.
		Above the forest land, there are many dwarf alpine plants, which all spring from the mass of peat, and help to Wompose it: these plants are very remarkable from their close alliance with the species growing on the mountains of Europe, though so many thousand miles distant.
		The central part of Tierra del Fuego, where the clay-slate formation occurs, is most favourable to the growth of trees; on the outer coast the poorer granitic soil, and a situation more exposed to the violent winds, do not allow of their attaining any great size.
