Masters of kung-fu, sources of ancient and infallible wisdom, religious leaders beyond reproach—the Buddhist monk and the grand tradition of monasteries is of incalculable value to the culture of China. But, the modern world brings with it something far more dangerous to these traditions than all the martial arts and religious purges in the world: money. For the faithful, the introduction of the free market is finishing off the work that the Cultural Revolution started. “Fake” monasteries have become the new norm, and places of worship are becoming money pits and tourist traps. While this modern trend does ensure the spread and popularity of Buddhism, purists and the monks are fighting against the tide and losing badly. Also this issue, you can learn about howChinais changing the world of experimental and applied physics, how ancient Chinese zodiac superstitions affect modern life, and how the recyclers inChinabrave the fickle whims of the free market. Enjoy.

2015 Issue 4

For many a corrupt official and outdated policy Judgment Day has come; we look at three ways China’s beleaguered court system is changing for the better, from reeducation through labor to paying judges properly. From the courts to the fields, we also look at how the differences inherent in cultivation—the grizzled independence of wheat and the wise solidarity of rice—has affected Chinese culture from north to south. However, that land once tilled by farm hands now plays host to outlet malls, so we take a look at how people change and adapt to the life relocated as the countryside makes way for modernity. Beneath even the soil itself lies one ofChina’s greatest treasures: a wealth of hominid remains; the bones inChina’s earth tell the story of mankind—from the lost bones of the Peking Man to the “dragon bones” of the Lantian Women. Besides all that, we bring you the best in fiction, travel, art, film, interviews, language, and storytelling we hope you’ve come to expect from us here at TWOC.
