 Tung Chung-shu Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Tung's writings are preserved in the Standard History of the Western Han dynasty (Han-shu) and in a collection of essays entitled Ch'un-Ch'iu fan-lu, or Luxurious Gems of the Spring and Autumn Annals.
Very little of Tung Chung-shu's work was due to original thinking; his importance lies in his synthesis of a number of elements under a single system which could be adopted as the ideological basis for the exercise of imperial authority.
Tung's study of the past was directed to clarifying the moral precepts that could be learned and applied for the guidance of mankind; and he commented at length on the lessons to be found in the Spring and Autumn Annals, a text which Confucius was believed to have edited.

 Rissho Ankoku Ron - a commentary, part 22
Tung Chung-shu’s approach was rather eclectic and he fused certain aspects of Legalist authoritarianism and the cosmology of the Yin Yang school of early Chinese metaphysics with the humanism of Confucius and Mencius in order to create a more comprehensive ideology for the Han rulers.
In particular, he believed that processes of nature and human life are governed by the forces of yin and yang and due to their interactions the succession of the five primary elements or agents: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Tung Chung-shu (179-104 B.C.), the greatest Confucian scholar of the age, expressed the central idea best when he wrote that the action of man flows into the universal course of heaven and earth and causes reciprocal reverberations in their manifestations.

The god that was to carry out her death wondered what had gone wrong but didn’t want any problems, so kicked Tung Tung out of heaven and sent her to replace the old “ching ling” of a run-down hotel on earth.
In the hotel however, Tung Tung meets the old protector (Choh Yuen) who tricks her and in the end Tung Tung becomes his student; calling him Lo Si Fu as he tries to plot his way out of not being sent back up to heaven.
Throughout the story there were sparks of humour like when Tung Tung discovered she hated durians or when Hero discovered that he loved Tung Tung and ended up with his hair looking like he was electrocuted.

Chung says there isn't currently any company focusing on commercial support for Open WebMail, but he says many ISPs who work the solution choose to offer internal support for their own customers.

 New Hong Kong town chokes on front line of southern China's smog woes
The air also smells bad: mingling with the cloying aroma of the general haze is the reek of spent jet fuel from the airport nearby and the fetid stench that blows off the muddy waters of Tung Chung Bay.

It’s a white elephant, it doesn’t bring any extra income into Tung Chung, and its absence wouldn’t be greatly mourned (by me, at least; it would be a blow to the Falun Gong protesters who would have to go and find somewhere else to harangue mainlanders).
I considered introducing myself as one five-hundred-thousandth of the cause of her downfall from Tung’s government (I was on the July 2003 Article 23 protest march), but by all accounts she’s become rather more sensible in recent years; she’s even changed her hair-style.
