1 Preface: In the previous article (see: Food for Thought Series: Systematic Review of Buddhist Theory (1): From Interest to Rational Understanding of Buddhism), we talked about the compatibility between Buddhism and science—although they take different paths, both use observation as a method and awareness as their destination. Science explores the laws of the world outward, while Buddhism...

1 Preface I have loved singing since I was a child. I remember the first song I seriously learned was "Green Apple Land" by the Little Tigers. In order to write down the lyrics of this song, I listened to it line by line in front of the radio and transcribed it into my notebook~, which was much more self-disciplined than the dictation at school. However, all along, I have never...

1 My Starting Point: Why Choose to Start with Buddhism Speaking of humans as a species, we are inherently a contradiction: we can be powerful enough to reshape mountains and rivers, build grand structures, go to the sky and the sea, and even leave footprints in space; yet we can also be fragile enough to fall into self-pity, depression, or even contemplate... because of a night of insomnia, a word of blame, or a period of loneliness.

1 Preface Since building a blog with WordPress, WordPress's natural mechanism of only allowing access from one address has made me complain many times: The reason is very simple—usually when managing the backend, I also have to use the domain name to access it. And using the domain name to access the backend, it must...

1 Preface A long time ago, I watched a movie called "21". The plot of team cooperation and card counting when playing blackjack left a deep impression on me. However, at that time, I was just watching for entertainment, and I didn't delve into the deeper reasons why card counting could win. Recently, having some free time, I watched it again. This time, I don't know...

1 Preface For many people like me who like to collect film and television resources, Emby is almost the best choice for a home media center: its interface is beautiful, classification is clear, and functions are rich, allowing local resources to instantly transform into a streaming experience. But when the collection scale expands all the way to thousands or tens of thousands, you will...

1 Preface This week, my laziness suddenly acted up again, and I didn't want to use my brain at all. But writing one article a week is a rule I set for myself. If I stop updating at this time just because of laziness, I always feel it's not worth it. So I simply changed my thinking—since my brain doesn't want to move, I'll write something that doesn't require brainpower. I'll just write about my...

1 The Charm of Old Songs is More Than Just Nostalgia For most people born in the 70s and 80s, they probably share the same feeling: compared to today's new songs, we are always more willing to listen to old songs from the past. This has almost become a conventional consensus, even a bit like a tacit understanding of a generation. Whenever those familiar melodies play,...

1 Preface I usually use Obsidian (Markdown) under macOS to write blogs. In the process of writing, it is inevitable to insert images, so the image hosting solution has become an unavoidable issue. My blog's final image hosting is hosted on Cloudflare...

1 Preface Writing these articles about singing, voice, hearing, and cognition was actually not intended to be a “music special topic” from the beginning. More often, it was just because when practicing singing, listening to songs, and studying related theories, I repeatedly encountered some problems that could not be explained by feeling. As the articles accumulated bit by bit, I...
