Thank you for your reply! I once wrote a book, read by no one (that's my hobby, writing books no one reads) about Chinese literati art. I remember reading that the emperor buried 460 Confucian scholars alive. I'm not sure if this is apocryphal, but Mayo once referred to it in a speech so the story has some legitimacy in China. I think, Confucianism had a hold on the people that no emperor, no ruler could stamp out. It is easy to burn books, but killing ideas, that's quite another thing. I'm amazed by your project. Such work, and understanding of an ancient philosophy.
