This week we will be checking back with our friend Tian @greentlife to see how things have have either progressed or regressed in the kingdom of Thailand with the recent clashes with Cambodia hopefully the whole cannabis issue takes a backseat to the real issues facing the country. Either way big changes are afoot and it'll be good to hear it from someone who is there in the trenches and is affected more than anyone. Our second guest @AlMorentin has overcome some extreme circumstances and as most people become visionaries through inspiration he became one through desperation - and blindness. When glaucoma stole Al's sight, doctors told him to accept it. Instead, he developed his own Rick Simpson Oil formulation, restored his vision, and accidentally crushed decades of migraines and chronic pain in the process. Now he's built a wellness empire - but here's the twist: Al still goes blind within a week if he stops taking his oils. His vision literally depends on the quality of every batch he makes. Almost like the movie speed except it's him having to keep the quality high enough to keep him alive. His company myfitlife.net is coming up on 25 years and has helped countless people bring cannabis into their healing process. A truly inspirational show this week and I heard @the_james_bean on the scene will drop in at some point with some juicy info or at least a killer seed drop . So get that @dabx GO rig charged your @jerome_baker bong Clean with some ice
This episode we continue with the Jinshin War. This episode we follow Prince Oama on his dramatic escape to the east: From Yoshino he dashed through the mountains, through Iga and over to Ise. In so doing he secured both Suzuka and Fuwa--areas that would be important chokepoints throughout Japan's history. For more information, check out our blogpost at: https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-130 Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan. My name is Joshua and this is episode 130: Jinshin no Ran, Part II: Gathering Stormclouds. The soldier on watch was doing his best to keep alert. The night shift was never pleasant duty, and it was even less pleasant out here in the mountains. There were plenty of sounds in the night—birds and animals out in the darkness—but rarely was there much actual action. At least the sky was clear, with only the occasional cloud. Guarding a post station was hardly the worst duty in the world. There was a decent amount of traffic: after all, they were along one of the major routes between Ise and Yamato. But at night, well, who wanted to try and navigate the mountain roads? That was a great way to fall into a river and drown, or get lost in the woods, unable to find your way back to civilization. It must have been a shock when he saw a light in the distance. There were almost always a few fires somewhere in the village, but most of them were out or covered at this time of night, with the exception of the odd torch. But this was something more. At first the guard thought it was just his eyes playing tricks on him. And then he wondered if it was some kind of mountain spirit—he'd heard of ghost parades that could come and take people in the night. He shivered, and instinctively checked his own torch to ensure that it was burning well and bright. Indeed it was. It took him a little time for his eyes to adjust again to the darkness, but now, sure enough, he saw the torches coming—and not just one, many of them, and he could now hear the faint metallic clank of metal on metal. He then heard a faint sound like a tight rope being suddenly plucked. It only just started to dawn on him what was happening when the first arrows started to rain down on his position. They were under attack! Welcome back. This episode we are continuing with our coverage of the Jinshin no Ran—the Jinshin War of 672—and if you haven't already, I highly recommend you start with episode 129, where we talk about some of the background for what was happening. That said, let's do a quick recap to bring us up to speed on where we are. And then we'll dive into an account of an absolutely unbelievable journey, which is impressive for multiple reasons, but mostly for the speed at which it was able to take place. So as you may recall, Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tennou, passed away at the end of 671 after months of illness. After falling ill, the Chronicles tell us that he offered the state to his younger brother, the Crown Prince, Prince Ohoama, but Ohoama was warned that it was a trap, and as such, he turned down the offer. Instead, he retired from his position to become a monk, and left for Yoshino, taking half of his household with him. With Ohoama retired, Naka no Oe's son, the 23 year old Prince Ohotomo, took the throne. After Naka no Oe's death, Ohotomo effectively ruled Yamato from the Ohotsu palace in Afumi, running things along with the ministers of the left and right, Soga no Akaye and Nakatomi no Kane, and other high ministers. Though the Nihon Shoki does not acknowledge it, Ohotomo is thought to have been a formal sovereign, in deed if not in name, at this point. Much later, he would be given the posthumous name of “Koubun Tennou”. It would seem that Ohotomo and the Afumi court had misgivings about Prince Ohoama's promise to retire from the world and not challenge the throne. The Nihon Shoki recounts that they began to make subtle preparations for a conflict, including levying men to build Naka no Oe's tomb, but issuing them weapons instead of tools. They also set up checkpoints along the road from the court in Ohotsu down to Asuka—the main route to where Ohoama was residing in Yoshino. And then, finally, someone told Ohoama that they were no longer allowing Prince Ohoama's people to cross the Uji bridge to bring him and his household supplies. Prince Ohoama was not going to sit idly by while the Afumi court gathered up enough forces to claim he was doing something treasonous and then march on him in Yoshino. And so he sent one of his trusted vassals to the east to seek support. Meanwhile, he himself was making ready to move. There was just one more thing before setting out: seeing if he could get posting bells. This was sparked by the words of one of his advisors, who suggested that they should be careful. They did not have many soldiers in Yoshino, and they had already sent out a general like Woyori to start raising troops in the East. At the same time, if the Afumi Court was also maneuvering, it was likely that they would have sent words to the various post stations to bar the roads and prevent any movement. As such, Prince Ohoama decided to send several messengers to ask for Posting Bells, so that Ohoama and his men could make use of the official horses at the various post stations, allowing them to travel much more quickly and freely. However, it was not clear if such orders had come and, if they had, where the local government officiallys might place their loyalty. Of particular importance was the case of Prince Takasaka, who was in charge of the Okamoto Palace, and thus the governance of the ancient capital. He would be the one to grant posting bells if they were to receive them. If he provided the bells, then Ohoama and his party could assume they would have little to no trouble making their way East. And so Prince Ohoama sent his evnoys to the Okamoto palace.The messengers requested posting bells, but Prince Takasaka refused to issue them. This sent a clear message to Prince Ohoama: the Afumi court had no intention of letting him and his household have free access to the roads, and the local officials in Asuka were not going to provide any support. In fact, Prince Takasaka now knew that Ohoama planned to travel, and if he wanted to, Takasaka could likely raise troops to try and stop Ohoama from leaving. At the very least he would no doubt be sending a swift horse to Ohotsu to inform the Afumi court. Ohoama and his followers would have to hurry if they wanted to do anything. And so, on the 24th of the 6th month, the same day that he got word back about the posting bells, Prince Ohoama made the decision to move. He and his entourage left quickly—he didn't even let anyone saddle a horse for him or prepare his carriage. He just started to head out on foot on a journey to the East – and keep in mind that everything I'm going to describe in the next few minutes happened over the course of one night, truly an epic journey for Ohoama and all of those with him.. The Chronicles lists about 20 men and over ten women who originally set out with Ohoama from Yoshino, including his wife, the Royal Princess Uno no Sarara, daughter of Naka no Oe. She wasn't walking, however—she followed a little behind in a palanquin, or litter, carried on poles. I do wonder if those carrying the palanquin are among those mentioned, or were they servants or even enslaved persons who weren't considered worthy of note. The path they traveled wound its way through the mountains. Streams and rivers had carved channels and valleys into these mountains. People had settled these areas, and created paths through the wilderness. Now, the valleys were fairly well populated, with roads connecting the communities that had grown up in the nooks and hollers. These facilitated trade through the mountain communities and between the eastern and western sides of the Kii peninsula, but even still, it was difficult terrain. Unlike roads in the flat plains, the width of the roads in the mountains would have been constrained by steep mountainsides and the natural twists and turns of the valleys. There may have been rope or wooden bridges that they had to cross, as streams constantly flow down the hill sides to the river below. This route would make it much easier to avoid any official Afumi forces that might have been sent out, as those would likely be sticking to the main roads, but there were still government outposts along the way. If these outposts proved loyal to the Afumi court, they could raise the alarm and send a messenger on horseback, who could likely flee much more quickly than Ohoama's men could follow. And if Afumi learned that Ohoama was on the move, they could quickly mobilize their forces, secure key strategic points, and Ohoama's mad rush would be for naught. The path Ohoama chose would lead from Yoshino, through the valleys, up through Iga, and then over to Suzuka, in Ise—modern Mie prefecture. The journey was long and it wasn't going to be easy, but they needed to move quickly. Speaking of which, since Ohoama was traveling on foot, one of his men, Agata no Inukahi no Ohotomo, gave Prince Ohoama his own horse to ride. Oh, and in case you are wondering: There are a lot of people named “Ohotomo” in the narrative, not just the Prince, Ohoama's nephew and rival for the throne. Sorry, it was apparently a somewhat popular name AND it was also a clan, or uji, name as well. I'll try to distinguish some of them in the podcast blog page. The party hadn't traveled far when Ohoama's own carriage—or possibly a palanquin, like his wife's—showed up for him, so I assume Ohotomo got his horse back, but they were still constrained to the speed of their slowest member, and I doubt that the mountain roads were all that wide and flat—most likely just the opposite. The group journeyed upstream along the Tsuburo river and eventually made it to Aki, in the area of Uda, due east of Sakurai and Mt. Miwa. Here they were overtaken by two men, known as Ohotomo no Muraji no Makuda and Kibumi no Muraji no Ohotomo, both hurrying on from the Yoshino Palace. Makuda had been at the Afumi court, but word was starting to spread there that there was going to be some kind of move against Prince Ohoama, so he and his brother, Ohotomo no Fukei, had feigned illness and returned to their home in the Asuka region. Once there, Makuda had made straightaway for Yoshino, only to find that Ohoama was already on the move. Ohotomo no Fukei, on the other hand, chose to stay in the area of Asuka and see what he could do there. He was looking to see what kind of forces he could raise in the ancient capital region. We'll learn more about him, later. It was also in Aki, apparently, where they met Hashi no Muraji no Mate, who was from the Department of the official rice fields. Even though he was a government official, he was a supporter of Ohoama and his cause, and so he supplied Ohoama and his people with food for their journey. Just north of the Aki fields they came upon Kammura—thought to be near modern Kaguraoka—where the Yoshino forces conscripted 20 hunters into service, almost doubling their numbers, and now they at least had some weapons with them. Prince Mino, and presumably his men, also joined forces with Ohoama and his party—their ranks were starting to grow. In Uda, they were no doubt glad of any assistance, and at the government offices in the village of Uda itself, they were also warmly welcomed. There they found 50 pack-horses that were laden down with rice meant for the hot baths at Ise. The rice was discarded and Ohoama commandeered the pack animals so that his forces could ride, rather than walk. Nonetheless, it was still a long way to go. Indeed, night was approaching by the time they reached Ohono—likely the modern area of Muro-ohono and Ohonoji, along the Uda river. They didn't want to stop, but it could be treacherous trying to navigate in the mountains in the dark. What they needed was a light source. And so we are told that they pulled down some of the fences of nearby houses and created makeshift torches to light their way. Thus they were able to continue on until they reached the town of Nabari at approximately midnight. Nabari was not quite so friendly. It was the home of a post-station, which had a duty to report things to the Afumi court. Ohoama and his men arrived with their torches and in the middle of the night they attacked and set fire to the post station. One can only imagine how surprised those manning the station must have been. Presumably Ohoama's party took any horses and provisions, both for their own use and so that they couldn't be used against them. To those members of the village that were woken up and who came out to see what was going on, Ohoama's entourage proclaimed that Prince Ohoama was heading east and that people should join them. More specifically we are told that he said that the “Sumera no Mikoto” was on his way to the East Country. I want to pause here a moment, because there are some that say that this was the first use of the term “Sumera no Mikoto”, or, as we more commonly read the characters today, “Tennou”. At the very least we believe that the term “Tennou” may have first used in this time period—though I do wonder about it being used in this particular instance. I'll come back to this at the end, but for now, let's get back to the story. So Ohoama announced to the people that he, the sovereign—for he had declared himself as such—was heading to the Eastern lands, and he invited anyone who wished to join him. Nobody took him up on his offer, however. It must have sounded crazy. Ohoama had swept in at midnight, his forces carrying torches, and had attacked the post station, the symbol of the government in their midst. I imagine that the people wanted little to nothing to do with any further conflict if they could help it. Continuing on in the darkness, Ohoama and his party came to a river—probably the Nabari River. The Chronicle refers to it as “Yokokawa”, a term that shows up multiple times, and means something like “side river” and I suspect it was just the name for a river that ran alongside the fields or something similar. As they were crossing, a dark cloud spread across the night sky for over 10 rods—about 100 feet. Ohoama kindled a light and took a look at a geomantic rule to determine what it could mean. This “rule” was possibly a type of stick or even a kind of compass-like device with a square bottom and round top, indicating the heavens and the earth. He announced to everyone that the cloud was an omen that the country would be divided into two parts but, ultimately, their side would win out. One can only imagine how tired and worn out everyone was at this point, but apparently this urged them onward. They reached Iga, where once again, they attacked and set fire to the posting station. Now getting through Iga must have had Ohoama's head on a swivel. After all, Prince Ohotomo's mother was apparently from that region – he was the Iga Royal Prince, after all - so it would be understandable if people were loyal to him. Fortunately, for Ohoama, he had his local supporters as well. In fact, Joan Piggot points out in “The Emergence of Japanese Kingship” that Ohoama may have had a surprising amount of support from the various local elites. Remember that the policies that Naka no Oe and the court had put into place had given power to court appointed officials at the expense of the traditional local elites. So it may have been that those traditional local elites were more inclined to assist Ohoama against the Afumi Court, while those appointed officials, such as those who were managing the post stations, were more likely to swing the other way, since their positions and their stipends were directly reliant on the court's good graces. This seems to have been the case in this instance, around Nakayama, in Iga, where we are told that they met with local district governors who had heard that Ohoama was on the move and who had raised several hundred men in support of his cause. Now their ranks really had grown—compared with the relatively small group that had first set out from Yoshino the previous day, there were now hundreds of men on the march. Ohoama's forces finally arrived at the plain of Tara, or Tarano, by dawn, and with the sun coming over the mountains they briefly stopped for a moment to catch their breath and eat something. They had just marched through the night—a distance of approximately 70 kilometers, or 43 and a half miles. That included stops to attack and set fire to two post stations along the way, and much of the journey early on was done on foot. During that march, their ranks had grown tremendously. This is an incredible feat, especially with much of it being accomplished at night. Let's also quickly discuss those extra troops that had come to his banner. Remember that prior to this, Prince Ohoama had sent messengers ahead to Mino and Owari to try and raise forces in those areas. They had likely traveled these same roadways, and told any allies they had to prepare. So while the forces were raised quickly, there were no doubt some logistics that went into it. After a brief rest, the army was back on their feet, heading to Yamaguchi—modern Tsuge city. Here Ohoama was greeted by his son, Prince Takechi, who had come from Afumi down through Kafuka—modern Kouka, aka Kouga. He had brought several other men of his own, and presumably soldiers as well. The entire party crossed Mt. Miyama and into Suzuka, in Ise, where they were joined by the provincial governor, Miyake no Muraji no Iwatoko; Deputy Governor, Miwa no Kimi no Kobuto, and the magistrate of the famous hot baths, Tanaka no Omi no Tarumaro, among others. That same morning, they set a troop of 500 soldiers to guard the pass. After all, it would do them no good to have a government force suddenly appear behind them. Also, you may recall that Ohoama's request to his allies in Mino was to take the Fuwa pass, in the north—the area more popularly known today as Sekigahara. So now, with both the Suzuka and Fuwa passes under Ohoama's control, his forces controlled access to the Eastern countries. The only other viable route, at least if you didn't want to get lost in the mountains, was to take the road to the north, through Koshi, and that was going to be a slog around or over the Japan Alps. So a garrison was left as a rear guard, but the troops who were not staying to guard the pass continued, turning northwards. By sunset on the 25th day of the 6th month of 672, they had reached the foot of Kahawa Hill. Here, Ohoama's consort, Princess Uno no Sarara, asked if they could take a break. She was not exactly used to this kind of travel, and even riding on a palanquin, she was exhausted and fatigued. As they looked to the sky, though, it was clear that dark clouds were gathering. So they cut their rest short and pushed on, hoping to make it to the government offices at Mie—likely meaning modern day Yokkaichi city. Sure enough, as they continued to march, the heavens opened with a thunderstorm pouring down on them. The entire army was soaked to the bone. Cold and wet, when they did get to the government center or Mie district, they deliberately set fire to an entire building just so that the troops could try to warm themselves a bit. Those who had set out from Yoshino had marched over 122km, or 75 miles, including over 700 meters of elevation up and 800 meters down. Checking a map of the route, it suggests that a person walking it, today, without any breaks, would take around 28 hours to complete the trip, and indeed, Ohoama's took roughly one and a half days. That includes time for their assaults on the various post stations, and a brief rest at the Tara fields. Now, granted, they had procured horses for parts of that, and many of the soldiers had not necessarily been there since the beginning, but it is still an incredible feat, when you think about it. I'm honestly surprised that it doesn't get more of a mention in various historical contexts. Then again, we are still well before the age of the Samurai, which is the period most martial historians typically examine. So that night, as they were settling in at the Mie government center following their amazing dash across the mountains, word came from forces at Suzuka: Prince Yamabe and Prince Ishikawa had apparently come to offer their allegiance to Ohoama. However, as they weren't known to the men, they were held at the Suzuka barrier until someone could verify. Ohoama sent Michi no Atahe no Masubito to go fetch them and bring them to him. The following morning, Ohoama worshipped towards Amaterasu on the banks of a river in the district of Asake. Thinking about it, I'm not sure if they meant that he worshipped south, in the direction of Ise Shrine, or if he worshipped east, the direction of the rising sun. The exact direction doesn't entirely matter, but I think we will come back to this, as it would have consequences later on. Later, Masubito returned from his errand, catching back up to the army, which was continuing on its way. It turns out that it was not Princes Yamabe and Ishikawa that Masubito had found at Suzuka, but instead Ohoama's own son, Ohotsu, who had come along to join his father. I presume he had been traveling under a false name in case he ran into men loyal to the Afumi court. He was followed by a number of others, including a list of names which I am not going to go over here because it wouldn't mean all that much. Suffice it to say that the Chroniclers were doing their best to make sure that various families were remembered for what they did. Now just as Prince Ohotsu was joining the main force, Murakami no Woyori arrived with word that 3,000 Mino troops were mobilized and currently blocking the Fuwa Road. You may recall that Woyori was the one that Ohoama had sent to Mino for just that purpose, scouting out the lay of the land. Ohoama sent Prince Takechi ahead to Fuwa to organize the forces there. Then he sent two others to mobilize troops along the Tokaido region, and two others were sent into the mountains to levy soldiers from the Tousando region. As a quick reminder: the Tokaido was the eastern sea highway, while the Tousando, the Eastern Mountain Road, went through the middle of eastern Honshu, through the more mountainous regions. Together, these two routes would have pulled from the most populous regions of the east. As for Ohoama, he took up residence at the government center in Kuwana, where he spent some time resting for a bit. Now just as Ohoama was building up his forces, so, too, was the Afumi court. As soon as word made it to the capital that Ohoama was on the move, chaos ensued. Many people fled the capital, some heading to the East, perhaps to join Ohoama, while others went to hide in the mountains and marshes until all the chaos was over and the dust settled. The young Prince Ohotomo asked the ministers what he should do, and they recommended that he immediately set out with cavalry to pursue Ohoama and catch him before he could assemble too many troops. However, he decided not to heed their advice, instead opting to assemble an army of his own, to add to the soldiers that had already been levied. He sent Ina no Iwasuki, Fumi no Kusuri, and Wosaka no Ohomaro to the East country, while Hodzumi no Momotari, his younger brother, Ihoye, and Mononobe no Hiuga headed to the Yamato capital—which is to say Asuka. Ohotomo also sent Saheki no Wotoko to Tsukushi and Kusu no Iwate to Kibi, all with orders to levy troops. He gave Wotoko and Iwate special instructions, since there was some concern that neither Tsukushi nor Kibi would be compliant, as they both had been supported by Ohoama and may feel ties to him. So if the leaders of either of those areas were to resist, Wotoko and Iwate were authorized to execute them for treason. As Iwasuki, Kusuri, and Ohomaro headed east, they traveled around Lake Biwa and were headed to the Fuwa pass, not knowing that it was already controlled by Ohoama's forces. Iwasuki, however, was cautious. He realized that they might be ambushed, and so he held back from the main group. Sure enough, he was right: Kusuri and Ohomaro were ambushed and captured, at which point Iwasuki fled, barely escaping. The following day, Prince Takechi sent a note to his father asking him to move closer to Fuwa, so that they could better communicate with the front line. Ohoama headed out, but left Princess Uno in Kuwana, which was well situated between Fuwa and Suzuka, and was likely far enough from the front lines to ensure that it wouldn't be disrupted by skirmishes at the passes. As Ohoama then traveled through Wohari, the governor, Chihisakobe no Muraji no Sabichi, also joined him with a force of 20,000 men. Ohoama had them divided up and set them on roads to various places as needed. Ohoama finally reached Nogami, just on the eastern edge of modern Sekigahara. This is near where Tokugawa Ieyasu would eventually make his first camp as well, at his fateful battle here just under a thousand years later. At Nogami, Ohoama would set up his headquarters, Nogami no Miya, or the Nogami Palace. Meanwhile, Prince Takechi would handle the troops in the main part of the area near the pass, known as Wazami. As Ohoama reached Nogami, Takechi came to conference with him. He noted that there had already been an altercation—they had taken prisoners, who claimed that they were actually headed east to raise troops for Ohoama, but given that they didn't know who they were AND that Iwasuki had fled back towards Ohotsu-kyo suggested that this was not exactly the case. Following that incident, and a fair amount of speechifying, Ohoama eventually placed Prince Takechi formally in charge of the army, presenting him the gift of a saddle-horse. Takechi went back to his camp at Wazami. That night, a severe thunderstorm broke out. Ohoama prayed that if the kami favored his case, they would make the storm abate, and immediately the thunder and lightning stopped. The next day, on the 28th, Ohoama traveled over to Wazami to review the troops and check on the military arrangements, before returning back to Nogami. He likewise went out the following day, issuing commands through Prince Takechi, and then returned again to Nogami. At this point, soldiers were likely on their way from the Eastern provinces and elsewhere. On the one hand, they wanted to wait and make sure that they had all the troops they needed. But on the other hand, they didn't want to wait too long. The Afumi court was likewise building up its forces, and the longer they waited, the greater the chance that they could dig in and entrench themselves. Something would have to happen, soon. But that something will have to wait for the next episode. Before we finish, though, I do want to come back to something: the title “Tenno”, or “Sumera no Mikoto”. Up to this point, evidence suggests that the term used for the sovereign of Yamato was not “Tennou” as we know it today, but instead was the term “Oho-kimi”. “Oho-kimi”, or basically the “Big Kimi”—something like the primary lord—was the one lord of lords of Yamato. But that was probably something based on local concepts of governance. With the introduction of new ideas of governance, many based on the Han and Tang dynasty models, we see a shift in the terminology. There are poems that come from the era of Naka no Oe—Tenji Tennou—that use terms like “Huang” (皇) and “Di” (帝)—“Kou” and “Tei” in Japanese. These are imperial terms from the continent. At some point, however, we see that they use “Tian” (天) and “Huang” (皇). “Tianhuang” becomes “Tennou” (天皇) when read in Japanese, and it critically utilizes the character “Tian” for Heaven. Interestingly, this does not appear to be a term that was ever commonly used for rulers in the area of modern China. I seem to recall that it was used here and there, but not with any frequency. There is some thought that it may have been pulled from a term for the north star, or pole star, which sometimes used the term, I suspect referring to that star as the Heavenly Ruler—the star that the heavens themselves were focused on. For a variety of reasons, we see a particular emphasis on Heaven, and on Amaterasu, in the decades following 672, and it is thought that this is all connected. And so it is generally from some time here, in the late 7th century, that we can probably start to refer to the sovereigns as “Tennou”. Although, it is unclear to me if the authors of the Nihon Shoki pronounced it like this or not, later glosses given for the characters in Japanese is “Sumera no Mikoto”, the kun'yomi, or Japanese reading. The problem is that the Nihon Shoki projects this term back to the very beginning of the narrative, with “Jimmu Tennou” being the first. However, we have some evidence that the earlier term was, as as I said before, “Ohokimi”. For many years, there was an idea that the term “Sumera no Mikoto” first appeared in the era of Toyomike Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tennou, probably because that is when Buddhism and continental studies really seem to kick off. However, there really is no evidence of its use then, and it seems that more scholars today place its use in the late 7th or early 8th century. So there is the possibility that this title was first used by Ohoama, as some claim, when he declared that the “Sumera no Mikoto” or “Tennou” was heading to the Eastern countries. Of course, that could also just be dramatic license by the Chroniclers, who were less concerned with what, exactly, he said and more concerned with the meaning of it all. We've also known them to swap out older terms for those in use in the 8th century, updating the narrative. Regardless, I think that about this time we can start to refer to the sovereigns of Yamato—and eventually Japan, or Nihon, another somewhat controversial term—as “Tennou”, or “Sumera no Mikoto”, from about this period. I'll probably still use the term “sovereign” in general, and I'll try to avoid the term “imperial” for anything prior to the 19th century, when it became a standard English translation. After all, Empires were the rage—Chinese, Ottoman, British, Austrian, French, Spanish, you name it. Everyone had an empire, and so Japan, following that model, must also have been an “empire”. Even today, it is officially the “Imperial Household” and that is the official translation. However, I want to be cautious about using that translation too early, however. The institution of “Tennou”, while modeled on the Tang dynasty, took on its own character. As such, I think that it is best to avoid the term for now, because it really was its own thing, and I don't want to conflate too many foreign concepts of “emperor” with the idea of the Japanese ruler. As for the term “Sumera no Mikoto”—it does not appear to me that the etymology of this term is clearly known. One explanation is that “Sumera” is related to the word “Suberu”, to rule. “Sumera” is also defined as meaning something precious, though I'm not sure if that meaning existed before its use to refer to the sovereign. “Mikoto” is simply an honorific referring to the sovereign, meaning “royal” or “imperial”. I suspect that the term “Tennou” came over first, and later it became glossed as “Sumera no Mikoto”, which may have been an earlier term, but we don't have any clear evidence. Variations do appear in the Man'yoshu, the collection of ancient poems, so the concept was clearly around by the 8th century. Anyway, I think that's enough. We'll probably talk about it more when we get to the rise of the worship of Amaterasu. Until then, let's continue with our series on the Jinshin War.

When asked to confirm and provide more details about claims by Japan's Kyodo News report that China is planning to invite US President Donald Trump to attend the military parade in Beijing in September, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Monday that at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council last week, relevant departments introduced the situation and arrangements for inviting foreign leaders to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.当被要求证实并提供更多细节时,日本共同社报道称,中国计划邀请美国总统唐纳德·特朗普参加9月在北京举行的阅兵式,中国外交部发言人毛宁周一表示,在国务院新闻办公室上周举行的新闻发布会上,有关部门介绍了邀请外国领导人参加中国人民抗日战争和世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念活动的情况和安排。"Regarding the specific question you mentioned, I currently do not have any information to provide," Mao said.毛宁说:“关于你提到的具体问题,我目前没有任何信息可以提供。”。Kyodo News reported on Sunday that China is planning to invite Trump to a military parade scheduled for September 3 in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, citing sources familiar with the matter.共同社周日援引知情人士的话说,中国计划邀请特朗普参加定于9月3日在北京天安门广场举行的阅兵式,以纪念第二次世界大战结束80周年。Last week, China's State Council Information Office held a press conference on plans for marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Am 5. Juni 1989 stellte sich ein Mann auf dem Tian'anmen-Platz, dem »Platz (am Tor) des Himmlischen Friedens« in Chinas Hauptstadt Peking, einer Kolonne von Panzern entgegen. Ein Furchtloser, der sein Leben riskierte! Er wird bis heute nur als »Tank Man« oder »Unkown Rebel« geführt, da er bisher nicht öffentlich identifiziert worden ist. Dennoch nahm ihn das Time Magazine in die Liste der 100 einflussreichsten Personen des 20. Jahrhunderts auf.Mich beeindrucken solche Menschen sehr. Ich wäre auch gerne mutig, tapfer, furchtlos. Ich habe mich gefragt: Wie kann man das werden? Woher nimmt man die Kraft, das eigene Leben zu riskieren? Vor allem dann, wenn man allein auf das Diesseits setzt und keine Perspektive über den Tod hinaus hat, keine Hoffnung, dass das Opfer des eigenen Lebens irgendetwas bewirkt. Ich bin Gott sehr dankbar, dass er uns einen wirklich guten, verlässlichen, belastbaren und glaubhaften Grund gibt, mutig und furchtlos sein zu können. Die Bibel bezeugt nachdrücklich, dass das biologische Leben auf dieser Erde nicht alles ist: Es gibt eine Existenz nach dem Tod, die zeitlich unbegrenzt ist – die Ewigkeit. Jesus Christus, der selbst sein Leben geopfert hat, bestätigt dies mit seiner Auferstehung deutlich. Auch gibt er die feste Zusage: Wer sein (endliches) Leben auf ihn setzt, ja, wer es um seinetwillen einsetzt und sogar verliert, bleibt kein Verlierer! Im Gegenteil, er gewinnt ein ewiges Leben.Lieber Leser: Der Wind in unserer Zeit wird rauer, die Gefahren akuter, die Herausforderungen größer. Ich wünsche mir und uns, dass wir unser Leben auf den einen setzen, für den zu sterben sich wirklich lohnt, und der uns Leben über den Tod hinaus zu schenken vermag.Markus MajonicaDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

On this episode of ‘Work Hates' we chat to online sensation and hilarious standup comedian, Jenny Tian. She explains how frozen yoghurt is made, and the best way to get fired from a frozen yoghurt place. We were shocked to learn about the scam her uni was running, and why you should give call centre people a conversation rather than slamming the phone down on them (Bron will never not do this). We loved this chat, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode we are joined by Viola Tian, where she shares her journey from arriving in Canada at the age of 19 as a student in Queen's University, to becoming a leading advocate for anti-racism and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. She discusses her work with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in the U.S., highlighting bureaucratic challenges in achieving systemic change. Tian details her role in creating the Coalition Against Anti-Asian Racism Canada, focusing on education, policy advocacy, and community support. She emphasizes the need for nuanced approaches, addressing issues like online hate and funding cutbacks impacting Asian Canadian organizations. Tian also notes the importance of long-term education and the challenges of implementing DEI in corporate settings.

Throughout her career, Viola has engaged in meaningful collaborations in policy development and strategy with a multitude of non-profits and government institutions, playing pivotal roles in both Canadian and US federal settings. Most notably, she established the first national, pan-Asian coalition in Canada. She holds a firm conviction that every citizen possesses the potential to influence policy change, provided they are equipped with the right knowledge in government relations and advocacy techniques.
In this thought-provoking episode, I'm joined by Tian Yang of Variant Perception to explore the deep structural forces reshaping the global economy and geopolitical order. From the unintended consequences of Donald Trump's tariff policies to China's underappreciated resilience and strategic foresight, Tian offers a fresh, data-driven perspective on the shifting balance of power between East and West. The conversation moves beyond headlines to examine how innovation, manufacturing re-shoring, and changing reserve dynamics are altering the investment landscape. Tian also highlights the growing divergence in policymaking philosophies between major economies and the investment opportunities arising from those fractures before highlighting Europe's fiscal constraints, the risks of financial repression in the US, and the emergence of a CapEx-driven supercycle.

C'est le magazine M, le supplément du Monde, qui a eu l'idée de ce portrait croisé, l'idée de retrouver deux familles déjà rencontrées juste après le 7 octobre 2023. La famille Weissmann tout d'abord, qui a survécu. « Réfugiée un temps près de Tel Aviv, une partie des Weissmann s'est réinstallée dans le village agricole de Netiv Haasara et vit désormais au rythme des bombardements voisins », raconte Annick Cojean, l'envoyée spéciale de M. Car la bande de Gaza est tout près. « Notre vie est au mochav (au village) », explique pourtant le patriarche Yaakov, quand la journaliste objecte « la guerre à moins d'un kilomètre, les mouvements de troupes et de véhicules sur la route numéro 4, le bourdonnement des drones et des hélicoptères ». Évoquant les hommes du Hamas, les viols, les meurtres, Yaakov Weissman déclare « deux millions de Gazaouis, deux millions de terroristes. C'en est fini pour moi d'essayer d'excuser, de comprendre, de faire la distinction entre les bons et les méchants, les barbares du Hamas et la population opprimée. Alors oui, c'est la guerre. Oui, il y a des bombes. Mais ça ne me fait plus rien ».Mon téléphone est un cimetièreCôté palestinien à présent, impossible d'aller à Gaza où les journalistes étrangers sont empêchés de se rendre, c'est donc en Cisjordanie que M a rencontré la famille Redwan. Plus précisément la mère, Reem, et l'une de ses filles, elles vivent à Ramallah, mais sont originaires de Gaza, où les parents de Reem et son petit frère ont été tués dans un bombardement, le 10 octobre 2023. « À Ramallah, dans leur patrie, en territoire palestinien, elles vivent de façon illégale », précise M. « Israël, qui délivre les papiers d'identité via l'Autorité Palestinienne, leur interdit de vivre en Cisjordanie, puisque leur adresse officielle est à Gaza ». La liste des proches tués là-bas s'allonge. Reem raconte : « On boit on mange on pleure. On boit on mange on enterre ». La mère de famille regarde les photos sur son téléphone. « Elle s'arrête sur des clichés d'adultes souriants, en fait défiler quelques-uns, puis repose l'appareil ». « Mon téléphone est devenu un cimetière »murmure-t-elle. Quel est son sentiment vis-à-vis des Israéliens ? Sa réponse est sans appel. « Ça fait bientôt 2 ans qu'on est dans une situation de génocide, le sang inonde les rues » dit-elle. « Qu'ont-ils fait en Israël ? Rien. Ni pour leurs otages, ni pour nos morts. Je vois une société qui tout entière veut tuer ».Guerre secrèteNous ouvrons à présent l'Express, qui consacre un long dossier à l'Algérie et la France, sous l'angle de l'espionnage. C'est à la Une de l'hebdomadaire : « France-Algérie : la guerre secrète des espions ». « Soixante ans de coups tordus et de petits arrangements entre initiés », ajoute l'Express, qui donne pour exemple « ces agents chargés de la lutte contre les opposants algériens vivant en France ». « Un grand classique des dictatures », remarque l'hebdomadaire. « Sauf qu'Alger va plus loin. Jusqu'à l'agression physique en territoire français ». « Deux sources proches du dossier », ajoute l'Express, « nous confirment que la DGSI suspecte le régime algérien d'avoir commandité trois agressions récentes d'opposants, tous condamnés en Algérie, tous réfugiés politiques en France ». Comment les espions algériens fonctionnent-ils ? Les consulats sont semble-t-il l'un de leurs points de chute préférés. L'Express a interrogé Jérôme Poirot. Ancien coordinateur adjoint du renseignement à l'Élysée, il déclare que « les services de renseignement algériens ont toujours été très actifs sur le territoire français depuis la lutte pour l'indépendance. On peut estimer qu'il y a plusieurs centaines d'agents dans l'Hexagone. Il y en a bien évidemment une part dans les consulats ». Ce, alors que la tension ne cesse d'augmenter entre la France et l'Algérie, rappelons que l'une et l'autre, ont récemment (et réciproquement) expulsé 12 agents diplomatiques et consulaires. Harcelé pour un tweetLe Parisien-Dimanche s'intéresse lui aussi aux étrangers qui, sur le territoire français, sont toujours persécutés par les autorités de leur pays d'origine. Le journal a rencontré Hongmin Yin, un étudiant chinois de vingt-huit ans, arrivé en France en 2019. « Il nous tend, sans un mot, son téléphone, dès le début de l'entretien », raconte le Parisien-Dimanche. « Sur l'écran : une avalanche d'alertes : des tentatives de piratages de ses comptes personnels, plusieurs fois par jour ». Un véritable harcèlement. Le jeune homme n'est pourtant pas « un opposant de premier plan ». « Ce qu'on lui reproche ? Un tweet ». Les faits remontent à 2016, lorsque Hong Min Yin, « apprend à contourner la censure » et visionne une vidéo du massacre de la place Tian'anmen, en juin 1989. Bouleversé, il poste cette vidéo sur Twitter, accompagnée de ces mots : « les assassins doivent payer ». « Une alerte s'allume, quelque part, sur un écran à Pékin », poursuit le Parisien-Dimanche. « Hongmin Yin vient d'entrer dans le viseur des autorités et n'en sortira plus ». « Il y a trois mois, il a reçu une convocation de l'ambassade de Chine à Paris. (…) il ne s'y est pas rendu. Il sait que ce genre de voyage ne prévoit pas de retour », conclut le Parisien-Dimanche.
About 20 minutes after meeting Tian near Da Nang, Vietnam, I hit record on my phone and we dove straight into two hours of unscripted magic. We talked about everything from superpowers, human limitations, masculine and feminine polarity, past lives in Atlantis, the nature of God, technology, AI, and much more. Tian is the author of GOD GAME, a mind-bendy (and witty-funny) book/audiobook that explores the cosmic joke of existence and why we're all key players in it. I definitely recommend giving it a read/listen if you're curious (and ready to expand consciousness). This convo is a wild ride through spirituality, science, and the mysteries of being human—peppered with moments that might just shift the way you see reality. More info about Tian's book below and you can connect with him on social media. you know i'm always exploring new ways we can decode patterns and "uplevel" so if you want to go deeper, check out my Patreon or book a Soul Session for 1:1 guidance. and super special thanks to @fox&tiger for the intro tunes

Chinese policymakers will likely adopt a more pro-growth stance and strengthen "extraordinary countercyclical measures" to spur the economy amid pressing challenges from sluggish domestic demand and external uncertainties, economists said.经济学家表示,面对国内需求疲软、外部不确定性等紧迫挑战,中国政策制定者可能会采取更加倾向于经济增长的立场,并加强“超常规逆周期调节”以刺激经济。They anticipate a new round of stimulus packages focusing on driving domestic demand and boosting consumption to address domestic structural issues, offset the rising headwinds from a grimmer global environment and foster sustainable, high-quality growth in the long run.他们预计,新一轮刺激计划将侧重于拉动内需、促进消费,解决国内结构性问题,抵消全球环境恶化带来的日益加剧的逆风,促进长期的、可持续的高质量增长。The economists also said they believe that measures in the pipeline may include more public borrowing and spending, with a growing shift of policy emphasis to consumption, enhanced financial support for low-income households, and increased spending on the property sector through the buying back of land or by helping developers finish presold homes.经济学家还表示,他们认为即将出台的措施可能包括增加财政支出、政策重点逐渐转向消费、加强对低收入家庭的财政支持、通过回购土地或帮助开发商完成预售房屋来增加房地产行业支出。Their comments came as the market is closely watching how China will draw up growth targets and policies to revive the world's second-largest economy when China's top legislative and political advisory bodies meet for the annual two sessions in early March.这些评论发表之际,中国即将在3月初召开全国两会,而市场正密切关注中国会如何制定增长目标和政策,重振世界第二大经济体。Noting that the broader economy is still facing pressures from a harsher external environment and still-weak domestic demand, Sun Xuegong, director of the department of policy study and consultation at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, said that policymakers will likely introduce a package of stimulus measures aimed at boosting market confidence and stabilizing expectations. The academy is part of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic regulator.中国宏观经济研究院决策咨询部主任孙学工指出,当前经济仍面临外部环境恶化、内需持续疲软的压力,政策制定者可能会推出一系列刺激措施,提振市场信心、稳定市场预期。中国宏观经济研究院是中国最高经济管理部门国家发展和改革委员会的直属研究机构。As authorities pledged to implement extraordinary countercyclical policies this year, Sun highlighted the need to expand fiscal expenditure, with policy focus shifting to spurring consumption.孙学工强调,由于政府已承诺今年实施超常规逆周期政策,有必要扩大财政支出,将政策重点转向刺激消费。"We need a comprehensive policy mix to boost consumption," Sun said in an interview with China Daily. "The government has already announced raising the pension level and providing subsidies to the low-income group. And this year, the country will extend the program of trade-in deals for consumer goods and expand the scope to more fields of consumption."孙学工在接受《中国日报》采访时表示:“我们需要一套综合政策来提振消费。政府已经宣布提高养老金水平,为低收入群体提供补贴。今年,中国还将延长消费品以旧换新计划,并将范围扩大到更多消费领域。”With a series of existing policies taking effect gradually and more supportive measures in the pipeline, Sun said he expects to see a pickup in consumption.孙学工表示,随着一系列现有政策逐步生效,更多支持性措施即将出台,预计消费将有所回升。At a study session held last week by the State Council, China's Cabinet, Premier Li Qiang emphasized boosting consumption and improving people's livelihoods through stronger and more targeted measures, in a bid to strengthen the fundamental role of consumption in driving economic development.2月21日,国务院常务会议召开。会议上,国务院总理李强强调,要通过更有力、更有针对性的措施提振消费、改善民生,增强消费在推动经济发展中的基础性作用。Wang Tao, chief China economist at UBS Investment Bank, said her team expects the government to ramp up fiscal spending to support consumption and the household sector, including more than doubling the size of the trade-in program to over 300 billion yuan ($41.3 billion), creating a subsidy program for families with young children, and increasing the payout level of residents' basic pension and the government contribution to basic social insurance.瑞银证券中国首席经济学家汪涛表示,我们团队预计政府将加大对消费及居民部门的财政支出,包括将消费品以旧换新规模扩大一倍以上至3000亿元人民币(413亿美元)、设立生育和育儿补贴计划、提高城乡居民基础养老金支付水平及政府对基本社保的财政补助水平。"These much-anticipated measures could gradually help underpin household confidence and unleash consumption potential in the long run," Wang said.汪涛表示:“这些市场期待已久的措施有助于逐步提振居民信心、释放长期消费增长潜力。”On the monetary front, Wang said she anticipates that the two sessions will follow the "moderately loose" monetary policy tone set during the Central Economic Work Conference in December, with an explicit call for lowering the funding cost of corporate financing and household credit, cutting reserve requirement ratios and policy rates and enhancing counter cyclical adjustments.汪涛表示,在货币政策方面,她预计两会或将维持2024年12月中央经济工作会议所提出的“适度宽松”的货币政策基调,包括明确要求降低企业融资及居民信贷成本、下调存款准备金率及政策利率、加强逆周期调节。Tian Xuan, associate dean of Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, said this year's economic growth target will likely remain at "around 5 percent", the same as last year, reflecting the continuity and consistency of policies and aligning with the country's aspiration that its per capita GDP would reach the level of a moderately developed economy by 2035.清华大学五道口金融学院副院长田轩表示,今年的经济增长目标可能仍保持与去年持平的“5%左右”,体现政策的连续性和一致性,符合中国到2035年人均国内生产总值达到中等发达国家水平的愿望。The expectation of an unchanged growth target comes as China's major economic hubs, such as Beijing and Shanghai as well as Guangdong province, have announced GDP growth goals of around 5 percent for the year.北京、上海、广东等中国主要经济中心已宣布今年GDP增长目标为5%左右,因此预期今年经济增长目标不变。"It would be a goal that we need to strive for and reach with extra effort, which can effectively inspire all the people across the country to work hard together," said Tian, who expects this year's budget deficit-to-GDP ratio to increase to 4 percent or higher.田轩预计今年财政赤字率将提高至4%或以上,他表示:“这将是一个我们需要争取并付出额外努力才能实现的目标,可以有效激励全国人民共同努力。”Lu Ting, chief China economist at Nomura, said a higher fiscal deficit ratio would allow the central government to issue more bonds, ramp up transfers to local governments and alleviate fiscal pressures.野村证券中国区首席经济学家陆挺表示,增加财政赤字率可以让中央政府发行更多债券,增加给地方政府的转移支付,缓解财政压力。Lu said the fiscal stimulus package will likely focus on areas including funding for a trade-in program for equipment upgrades and consumer goods, spending on the property sector through the buying back of land or by helping developers finish presold homes, and financial support for low-income households as well as funding to encourage childbirth.陆挺表示,财政刺激计划可能重点关注以下几个领域:为设备升级和消费品以旧换新计划提供资金;通过回购土地或帮助开发商完成预售房屋来增加房地产行业的支出;为低收入家庭提供财政支持;为鼓励生育提供资金。"The Chinese economy may get off to a relatively good start.…We expect year-on-year real GDP growth to stay at 5 percent in the first quarter," he said.他表示:“中国经济可能迎来一个相对良好的开局……我们预计第一季度实际GDP同比增长率将保持在5%。”The breakthrough of China's homegrown artificial intelligence model DeepSeek has triggered a stock rally that may boost investment and consumption, while the expansion of the trade-in program is stimulating sales of digital goods, he added.他补充说,中国自主研发的人工智能模型DeepSeek的突破性成果引发股市上涨,这可能会促进投资和消费,而扩大以旧换新范围也在刺激数码产品的销售。explicitadj.清楚明白的;明确的

Zebra mussels are some of the most high profile and impactful invasive species in Canada, and have transformed the Great Lakes watershed in the past three decades. Voracious feeders that consume all algae, they have clarified our lakes, caked our beaches with their sharp shells, and denied other species precious food. Interactions between zebra mussels and algal blooms, another notorious nuisance, are largely unknown. My research uses environmental DNA, an emerging technology, to examine what factors make an ecosystem resilient to zebra mussel invasion, how native mollusk communities react to zebra mussels, and if they help or hinder algal blooms.

Le 12 octobre 2000, un homme de 60 ans, d'une élégance et d'une discrétion infinies, au regard d'une intensité rare, un homme qui a failli être réduit au silence par son gouvernement, monte sur scène, pour recevoir l'un des prix les plus prestigieux du monde : le prix Nobel de la littérature. Son nom : Gao Xingjian. Il se fait rare dans les médias mais cet écrivain, dramaturge, metteur en scène, réalisateur et peintre, a accepté de nous livrer un entretien exclusif. Comment s'impose-t-il aujourd'hui comme l'un des plus grands penseurs de notre siècle ? De dissident chinois, réfugié politique en France à prix Nobel, (re)découvrez son fabuleux destin. Un homme libre mais réfugié politique En 1989, le gouvernement chinois tue froidement des centaines de manifestants sur la place Tian'anmen. Cette affaire, aussi incroyable soit-elle, a été passée sous silence pendant des dizaines d'années. Mais Gao Xingjian en 1989 décide de mettre des mots sur l'indicible, au travers d'une pièce de théâtre. Son avant-gardisme, sa liberté de pensée et ses théories littéraires vont délibérément à l'encontre des doctrines et du silence imposés par le régime. Ses textes sont censurés et Gao Xingjian devient “persona non grata” sur le territoire chinois, il ne retournera plus jamais dans le pays de son enfance.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Yadira Soto-Feliciano from MIT about her work on the Menin-MLL complex and the effect of small molecules on its stability in leukemia. We explore the pivotal moments that led her to cancer biology during her graduate studies, where her work included ground-breaking research on the role of the plant homeodomain Finger protein-6 (PHF-6) in leukemia. This work bridged the realms of chromatin accessibility, transcription factors, and cancer cell lineage, providing critical evidence for the concept of lineage plasticity in cancer biology—a topic that has gained significant traction in recent years. Dr. Soto-Feliciano discusses how advances in techniques like CRISPR and ChIP-sequencing have shaped her research, enabling deeper insights into the mechanisms underlying cancer cell identity. As our discussion transitions, Dr. Soto-Feliciano shares her experience in David Allis's lab, illustrating how the collaboration across diverse scientific disciplines enhanced her understanding of chromatin biology and generated significant insights into the mechanics of epigenetic regulation. Highlighting a recent 2023 publication, we unpack her findings related to the conserved molecular switch between MLL1 and MLL3 complexes. These discoveries revealed how the application of small-molecule inhibitors of the menin-MLL interaction can alter gene expression and affect leukemia cells' responses to treatments. We also touch on the operational dynamics within her lab at MIT, established during challenging times marked by the pandemic. Yadira is dedicated to fostering a collaborative and respectful environment among her team, comprised of PhD candidates and research technicians, all sharing a commitment to unraveling the complexities of chromatin regulation. She emphasizes the significance of understanding chromatin scaffold proteins and their role in regulating gene expression and genome organization. References Soto-Feliciano, Y. M., Bartlebaugh, J. M.

Does growing up in chaos impact our nervous systems even as adults? In this episode, we are looking at early childhood dynamics and how it's expressed in adulthood through unconscious behaviors and coping mechanisms. I have brought in a guest who is especially dear to my heart and has played a very significant and pivotal role in my own journey. Dr. Tian Dayton specializes in addiction and trauma, especially when it comes to speaking to the adult child of an alcoholic. Dr. Dayton is also a leading voice in psychodrama, and she has a very incredible way of combining movement and the body with it, which gives her patients the opportunity to access different times in their past, be able to role play with them and give them a voice that they did not have before. In this episode you'll learn: The kind of coping mechanisms we develop in response to early trauma The importance of integrating movement and emotional expression in therapy The importance of physical touch and intimacy in early childhood development How perceived sense of danger can lead to a collapse in the nervous system What kind of environments provide the structure needed for trauma resolution For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/
