Talk:Jixia Academy

Title: Jixia Academy
This article should be titled Jixia Academy, the normal name used in English. There are zero mentions of "Academy of the Gate of Chi" in Google; it's a literal translation of Jixia Academy (in Chinese). I am going to change it to the normal version. Evangeline (talk) 01:57, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Zero mentions? Then we should remove the OR pending some usage cites. — LlywelynII  12:42, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah. Editor above wasn't nearly correct. Needham, i.a., uses it. — LlywelynII  12:45, 2 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Should be removed even though Needham used it: (a) it's the wrong Romanization (Needham's "Chi" = our "Ji"), (b) it's inaccurate; Jixia means "BENEATH the gate of Ji," not "the gate of Ji."--108.16.230.212 (talk) 04:25, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Lacouperie's idiosyncratic term "Wonderism" refers to the Jixia Academy. Shouldn't these articles be merged? Keahapana (talk) 02:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I discussed this on the Jixia Academy page. I believe the articles should not be merged. Evangeline (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The articles should not be merged. Lacouperie speculates on western influence by noting parallels between hinduism and jixia proto-daoism, but in no way proves such influence.  His thesis is not shared by other scholars, so it does not merit inclusion in this article. ShaziDaoren (talk) 23:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

WP:ERA, ENGVAR
Per this edit, the usage of the page is American English (will clean that up in a sec). Ditto BC/AD by the page founder. — LlywelynII  12:42, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Sources for article expansion
Bibliography sections are always unhelpful wastes of space that give editors an excuse not to bother with references, but this work – unavailable through Google Books – may have some more information on the topic for those who would like to expand the article: — LlywelynII  01:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
