\nMeyer (2010) proposes that “eaves and roof beams” was a synecdoche<\/a> for a domicile’s entire space; this figure of speech would later be appropriated by early authors and later Huainanzi<\/a><\/i>\u02bcs contributors as “a metaphor for the cosmos, taking \u201ceaves\u201d [\u5b87<\/a><\/span>] and \u201croof beams\u201d [\u5b99<\/a><\/span>] to represent the dimensions of space and time[, respectively] that compose the entire phenomenal universe.”[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly, these meanings of the morphemes in \u201cy\u01d4zh\u00f2u<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(y\u01d4\u00b7zh\u00f2u\n\t\t\tuniverse \u00b7 {all time, past, present, and future} \u2192<\/span> [[the] universe; cosmos; space | cosmic]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u5b87\u5b99)<\/span>\u201d<\/i> match up with the morphemes in the English word \u201cspacetime\u201d. The Wikipedia article<\/a> for this is introduced with the following:<\/p>\n

\nIn physics, spacetime,<\/strong> also called the space-time continuum,<\/strong> is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects, such as how different observers perceive where<\/em> and when<\/em> events occur.<\/p>\n

Until the turn of the 20th century, the assumption had been that the three-dimensional geometry of the universe (its description in terms of locations, shapes, distances, and directions) was distinct from time (the measurement of when events occur within the universe). However, space and time took on new meanings with the Lorentz transformation and special theory of relativity.<\/p>\n

In 1908, Hermann Minkowski presented a geometric interpretation of special relativity that fused time and the three spatial dimensions into a single four-dimensional continuum now known as Minkowski space. This interpretation proved vital to the general theory of relativity, wherein spacetime is curved by mass and energy.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

English<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nBased on his scientific knowledge of the universe<\/strong> and its properties, physicist Paul Davies concluded: \u201cI cannot believe that our existence in this universe is a mere quirk of fate, an accident of history, an incidental blip in the great cosmic drama. . . . We are truly meant to be here.\u201d Davies does not teach that God created the universe and human life, but what do you think? The universe and the earth seem to be designed to make life possible. Could it be that they seem that way because they were designed?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Particular Need in the Mandarin Field<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the No. 3 2021 issue of Awake!<\/i> was recently in the Teaching Toolbox in the JW Library app. In fact, for a time, 3 out of the 6 books or brochures in the Teaching Toolbox\u2014fully one half of them\u2014were focused on the subject of creation\/evolution. Additionally, the Enjoy Life Forever!<\/i> book, which is still in the Teaching Toolbox, has an entire lesson on the subject \u201cHow Did Life Begin?\u201d. This big presence in the Teaching Toolbox for a time of material focused on creation\/evolution reflects a recent heavy emphasis on this issue on the part of the organization.<\/p>\n

Indeed, for people in general to find real spiritual truth and make real spiritual progress, the question of the Creator\u2019s existence is the first basic question that needs to be answered well in their minds, otherwise they are left with just the conflicting opinions, speculations, and platitudes of mere limited, imperfect humans. As Proverbs 9:10<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

\nThe fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom,
\nAnd knowledge of the Most Holy One is understanding.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Mandarin field in particular, it is especially necessary to focus on the issue of the Creator\u2019s existence, because current worldly Chinese culture has particularly heavily predisposed many Mandarin-speakers to not believe in a Creator.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the worldwide Mandarin field is by far the largest language field in the world, and it\u2019s likely that it is the largest language field ever in history.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Chart:
\n<\/figure>\n

So, the need is especially great for Mandarin field language learners to be able to help Mandarin-speakers overcome their cultural backgrounds and cultivate faith in the Creator!<\/p>\n

Creation\/Evolution, and Also the Great Wall of Characters<\/h4>\n

However, I suspect that even in their mother tongue, many Mandarin field language learners would be hesitant to discuss creation\/evolution, since it is an especially deeply technical subject. Adding the requirement to conduct the discussion in Mandarin, which has traditionally been written using the extraordinarily complex Chinese characters, to many just makes an already daunting task seem even more undoable.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"The<\/p>\n

In addition to the inherent technical difficulty of the subject of creation\/evolution, Mandarin field language learners also face the Great Wall of characters.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

To help with this formidable challenge, the organization\u2019s official Mandarin digital material for the No. 3 2021 issue of Awake!,<\/i> and for the Was Life Created?<\/i> and Origin of Life<\/i> brochures, is available with P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> [Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span>.<\/i> Additionally, unofficial P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> [Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span> Plus<\/a> material\u2014specifically designed, not to be spiritual food, but for helping Mandarin field language learners to get past the Great Wall of characters and actually learn to understand and speak the Mandarin they need\u2014is available for the Was Life Created?<\/i><\/a> and Origin of Life<\/i><\/a> brochures, and should eventually be available for the No. 3 2021 issue of Awake!<\/i> too.
