Dao theory is an all-inclusive ultimate theory established by ancient Chinese thinkers according to the Origin of the universe. It is used to explain all the basic phenomena in the universe, to guide people's thought and behavior, to guide the establishment of a just and perfect society, and so on. It can be proved through Dao theory that the Origin of the universe is a spiritual body in a zero state, which is the most perfect. The universe comes from the Origin of the universe. The theory established according to the Origin is bound to be all inclusive and can explain the most important phenomena in the universe—life and consciousness. Because the Origin is the most perfect, the theory established according to the Origin will inevitably be able to guide mankind to build a perfect society． There are two versions: the physical version and the popular version. The popular version contains spiritual physics that explains consciousness and soul, omitting general physics. The physical version has the results of the author’s research on general physics, suitable for researchers, teachers and readers who are interested in physics. The cover of physical version is blue, and the cover of the popular version is yellow. This book is the physical version.

In ancient China, the Origin of the universe was called Dao. Dao theory is the ultimate theory established by ancient Chinese thinkers based on the Origin of the universe. It is used to explain all basic phenomena in the universe, to guide people's thoughts and behaviors, and to establish a just and perfect society. Consciousness, soul and life are the most important phenomena in the universe and also the most difficult to explain. Using Dao theory, we can explain and study human soul, consciousness, emotions, feelings and life. Although consciousness, soul and life have complex and difficult sides, they also have simple and easy-to-understand sides. The basic principles that form consciousness, soul, and life are simple; Even if you only have a middle school or even elementary school education, you can understand it as long as you put in the effort. Dao theory is composed of Yin-yang theory and Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching). This book is divided into three parts: the first part briefly introduces the Dao theory founded by ancient Chinese thinkers; introduces the yin-yang theory, using the Yin-yang theory to explain consciousness, emotions and feelings; introduces the three major worlds that make up the universe: the Dao world, the Soul world and Human world. The second part translates and interprets the Dao Morality Scripture. The third part introduces the application of Dao theory in contemporary human society. In Dao Morality Scripture, Lao Zi advocates "zero-action", "keeping the middle", "pure-quiet", "fraternity" and "contentment". When you understand consciousness, you will know that what Lao Zi said is correct. To correctly understand the Dao Morality Scripture (Tao Te Ching), it is recommended that you first understand the basic principles of consciousness. The universe was created by Dao, and the theories established based on Dao must be able to explain all basic phenomena of the universe. This book proves that Dao is the most perfect spiritual body in the universe; therefore, the theory established based on Dao will definitely be able to guide mankind to establish a perfect world. At present, problems faced in the fields of consciousness, life science, physics and other fields need to be solved by Dao theory; various problems faced by human society also need to be solved by Dao theory. Dao theory is the most basic theory that everyone should understand: If you want to understand the Origin of universe and understand why the universe is produced from emptiness, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to understand consciousness, soul and life, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you want to know what the correct beliefs and codes of conduct are, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a politician or public official and want to find the correct theory of establishing a country, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. If you are a student or researcher of philosophy, social science, natural science or religion, I recommend the Dao Theory to you. …… This book is available in two editions: the popular edition and the physical edition.

For most of the last century, condensed matter physics has been dominated by band theory and Landau's symmetry breaking theory. In the last twenty years, however, there has been the emergence of a new paradigm associated with fractionalisation, topological order, emergent gauge bosons and fermions, and string condensation. These new physical concepts are so fundamental that they may even influence our understanding of the origin of light and fermions in the universe. This book is a pedagogical and systematic introduction to the new concepts and quantum field theoretical methods (which have fuelled the rapid developments) in condensed matter physics. It discusses many basic notions in theoretical physics which underlie physical phenomena in nature. Topics covered are dissipative quantum systems, boson condensation, symmetry breaking and gapless excitations, phase transitions, Fermi liquids, spin density wave states, Fermi and fractional statistics, quantum Hall effects, topological and quantum order, spin liquids, and string condensation. Methods covered are the path integral, Green's functions, mean-field theory, effective theory, renormalization group, bosonization in one- and higher dimensions, non-linear sigma-model, quantum gauge theory, dualities, slave-boson theory, and exactly soluble models beyond one-dimension. This book is aimed at teaching graduate students and bringing them to the frontiers of research in condensed matter physics.

In this innovative work, Ming Dong Gu examines Chinese literature and traditional Chinese criticism to construct a distinctly Chinese theory of fiction and places it within the context of international fiction theory. He argues that because Chinese fiction, or xiaoshuo, was produced in a tradition very different from that of the West, it has formed a system of fiction theory that cannot be adequately accounted for by Western fiction theory grounded in mimesis and realism. Through an inquiry into the macrocosm of Chinese fiction, the art of formative works, and theoretical data in fiction commentaries and intellectual thought, Gu explores the conceptual and historical conditions of Chinese fiction in relation to European and world fiction. In the process, Gu critiques and challenges some accepted views of Chinese fiction and provides a theoretical basis for fresh approaches to fiction study in general and Chinese fiction in particular. Such masterpieces as the Jin Ping Mei (The Plum in the Golden Vase) and the Hongloumeng (The Story of the Stone) are discussed at length to advance his notion of fiction and fiction theory.

This book is a compilation of clinical experience in diagnosing and treating critical and complex diseases by Xie Haiqing, a closed-door disciple of Professor Li Zhenhua, a National TCM Master, and the Director of Foshan University Hospital. The book is divided into two parts. The first section begins in a dialogue format, addressing commonly held concerns about the scientific and precise nature of traditional Chinese medicine, the relevance of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory in guiding TCM practice, the preservation of medical practices while eliminating outdated methods, handling the toxic side effects of Chinese herbal medicine, the similarities and differences between Western and Chinese medicine, the importance of intuition in learning TCM, doctor-patient relationships, and more. The section strongly advocates for the cultivation of TCM practitioners who specialize in treating severe, acute, and difficult diseases. The second section mainly comprises details of the author's approaches of focusing on the regulation of the spleen-stomach system as a fundamental method. These approaches are woven through the author's clinical experiences in treating various critical and complex diseases, including emergencies, severe conditions, tumors, internal medicine, surgery (dermatology), gynecology, pediatrics, and otolaryngology. This book is suitable for graduate and undergraduate students of TCM medical schools, clinical TCM practitioners, integrative TCM practitioners, TCM researchers, as well as enthusiasts of traditional Chinese medicine who are interested in health preservation, wellness, and longevity.

The first book to fully explore and explain the concept of yin yang, breaking it down in easy-to-follow terms for all those interested in Daoism, alternative medicine, martial arts and other Eastern fields of study. Illustrated with striking red/black graphics that make the concepts more accessible. The concept of yin yang can be found in some of the oldest writing in the world. It is fundamental to Chinese thought and the route to understanding most Chinese practices, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Daoism and feng shui. It also offers us ways of enhancing our own lives, establishing greater balance not only in our own environment but also in the wider world if we can work with other people to follow nature's flow. The central question of the book is "What is yin yang?" Step by step, with plenty of helpful illustrations and graphics, it explores the history and changing uses of yin yang - not forgetting the pronunciation and spelling (why yinyang is actually better than yin yang). The book also makes suggestions for working with yin yang, from observing the landscape to get a sense of the ebb and flow of energy through the world, to studying the patterns of nature in order to take what you need but not too much, to approaching sex as a cosmic ritual. After reading this book, readers will understand how to position themselves so that yin yang fills their lives with abundance - how to be in the right place at the right time.
