Question: |
Why does this sentence mention the destruction of political balance after the event in TAy-son^? |
Answer: |
This sentence mentions the destruction of political balance after the event in Tây-son^ because the passage talks about the aftermath of the war that led to significant chaos and destruction in the country. After this event, the political balance was destroyed, and there was a need to rebuild and re-establish order in the society. This is reflected in the passage with phrases like "chlnh-tri Irong nircrc dS n&t" (political balance destroyed) and "phang^luc huy-hoai" (need for reconstruction and re-establishment). The author might be emphasizing the importance of restoring political balance to provide stability and progress for the nation. |

But the gold of it curled and beat;
And Pan, who holdeth the keys of the wild,
Bore it to Atreus' feet:
His wild reed pipes he blew,
And the reeds were filled with peace,
And a joy of singing before him flew,
Over the fiery fleece:
And up on the based rock,
As a herald cries, cried he:
"Gather ye, gather, O Argive folk,
The King's Sign to see,
The sign of the blest of God,
For he that hath this, hath all!

However, he is also considered worthless by some, such as when he is sold to an old gardener due to being worn down by hard work. |

Why was it no longer immediate or obvious? |
Answer: |
It was no longer immediate or obvious because class was now increasingly intertwined with political organizations and parties, culture, mass psychology, and sociology, requiring subtle articulation and becoming a speculative concept. Additionally, class was now competing with new concepts, particularly the 'masses,' as political systems such as fascism shifted the ideological emphasis of social theory away from production and class. |

For during the Revolution it became clear that building the nation was not, and could never be, the same thing as building a
classical
republican city-state.
Guess: |
stable |
Question: |
Why was building a nation during the Revolution considered different from constructing a classical republican city-state? |
Answer: |
Building a nation during the Revolution was considered different from constructing a classical republican city-state because it required not only transforming the character of millions of human beings spread across a large territory but also homogenizing the diverse population into a single national essence. This involved educating and integrating people with varied languages, cultures, and beliefs, many of whom were believed to be heavily illiterate and superstitious. In contrast, building a classical republican city-state would only involve patriotic, civic measures like spectacles, speeches, and inscriptions celebrating past heroes. |

Now each separate course of this world's action is a mill, which, while it heaps up a multitude of cares, as it were whirls the minds of men in a circle, and she as it were throws forth the meal from herself, in that, when the heart is turned wrong, she is ever
producing
infinitely little thoughts.
Guess: |
producing |
Question: |
How is the world a mill? |
Answer: |
The world is a mill because, like a millstone that whirls in a circle, each separate course of action in this world heaps up a multitude of cares and whirls the minds of men in a circle. This constant motion and pressure can result in producing infinitely little thoughts when the heart is turned wrong, much like how a millstone throws out meal. |

HIS noble entertainments raised surprise;
Magnificence alone would not suffice;
Delightful pleasures he dispensed around,
And flattery
abundantly
was found,
An art in which a demon should excel:
No devil surely e'er was liked so well.
Guess: |
seldom |
Question: |
Why does the author suggest that flattery is an art in which a demon should excel? |
Answer: |
The author suggests that flattery is an art in which a demon should excel because it helps the demon to become well-liked and to manipulate others. In the passage, Belphegor uses flattery to win over the people around him, making him a popular and influential figure in society. This success in using flattery to his advantage showcases why a demon should be skilled in this art. |

Why did the man not have formal education in Confucianism, yet still manage to be as knowledgeable as those who studied it extensively? |
Answer: |
The man did not have formal education in Confucianism yet still managed to be as knowledgeable as those who studied it extensively because he had a strong memory, analytical thinking, excellent reasoning abilities, and intelligence. Besides, he understood Western culture thoroughly, allowing him to combine his memory with analytical thinking and reasoning. This helped him develop a scientific understanding of Confucianism in the Western sense, making him equally competent in the subject even though he didn't have formal education in it. |

Why are there some games mentioned that are only found in the southern region? |
Answer: |
Some games are only found in the southern region because the author, Trương Vĩnh Ký, traveled throughout the country and documented these games in the southern region that other editors and authors had not recorded before. The passage states that Trương Vĩnh Ký was the first person to document these games and did so by traveling to different regions and noting down what he found. This implies that some of these games were either unique to the southern region or had not been documented by others before. |
