One who believes that there can be no proof of the existence of God but does not deny the possibility that God exists. I don't pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of, too.
Induction
The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Sign of 24/2/2010
Verse:
月中有丹桂,人终攀不着,云梯足下生,此际好落脚。
Explanation:
看似高不可攀,好事难成,幸有云梯当工具。结果怎样?
桂在月中,桂下月上。桂为巽月为坎,巽下坎上,是为"井"卦。
井卦的意义是这样:"井养万物,所以人们虽然改换了地方,也不会改变饮水的习惯方式。井卦,它象征着虽然欲望无穷,但结果却增加,也没有减少,无失有得,井水无穷,永不枯竭。如果没水,已至井台,在绳还没有离开井口时,吸水的吊桶钩阻扰而翻覆,就不能汲到井水,那就是"不达"的凶灾了。
所以纵有云梯空架,最终却无法达到月宫,香喷喷的"丹桂"也就攀不上了。云梯的作用也就仅仅只是落落脚,让你得到一点安慰和希望,得到安全感,并顺势撒离险地。
这世界好无奈,不是人人都能成功,也不是事事都能达成。如果这样,不要怨天尤人,须顺从天意。

Verse:
事了物未了,人圆物未圆,要知端的信,日影上琅。
Explanation:
事情告一段落,算是结束了,但还物质问题留下了一个尾巴,得不到完全的了结。
当事的人,也安然无恙,得以与亲人团圆,但仍然是和资上受到一定程度的亏损。
要知道这其中有原季委,当太阳照着琅树的时候,便一目然了。琅是传说中有宝树,吃了果实能长生不老。果实的形象颇有些类似槟榔。
这种字面上的解释,还是让弄不明白。笔所也不便泄露天机,但还是给你一点指引。有一个籍贯洞庭以南的人,对此事情非常清楚的很,而且掌握了这个未了结的物资支配权,你可以试着去求求他。你不要给他赠送什么贵重物口或金钱,他会感到羞辱而反感。
这个湖南人受吃槟榔,你不要夜里去会他,如果硬要追回物资的话。

Heng 恆 2/11/2009, 27/3/2013
1. 恆:亨,无咎,利貞,利有攸往。
Heng: Heng indicates successful progress and no error (in what it denotes). But the advantage will come from being firm and correct; and movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
彖傳: 恆,久也。剛上而柔下,雷風相與,巽而動,剛柔皆應,恆。恆亨无咎,利貞;久於其道也,天地之道,恆久而不已也。利有攸往,終則有始也。日月得天,而能久照,四時變化,而能久成,聖人久於其道,而天下化成;觀其所恆,而天地萬物之情可見矣!
Tuan Zhuan: Heng denotes long continuance. The strong (trigram) is above, and the weak one below; (they are the symbols of) thunder and wind, which are in mutual communication; (they have the qualities of) docility and motive force; their strong and weak (lines) all respond, each to the other: - these things are all found in Heng. (When it is said that) 'Heng indicates successful progress and no error (in what it denotes); but the advantage will come from being firm and correct,' this indicates that there must be long continuance in its way of operation. The way of heaven and earth is to be long continued in their operation without stopping. (When it is said that) 'Movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous,' this implies that when (the moving power) is spent, it will begin again. The sun and moon, realising in themselves (the course of Heaven), can perpetuate their shining. The four seasons, by their changing and transforming, can perpetuate their production (of things). The sages persevere long in their course, and all under the sky are transformed and perfect. When we look at what they continue doing long, the natural tendencies of heaven, earth, and all things can be seen.

月已明,花最发,事悠悠,无不合。
Explanation:
月儿已近团圆之象,光辉明亮,皓如镜。花也开得最为娇艳,妩媚动人。正是花好月圆,诸事称心遂意的吉兆。而且好事能够存在相当长的时间,悠悠远远,没有什么不合符天时地利人和的。阴阳平衡,刚柔相济,和谐长久。
月华高照,上得女性贵人照应,春夏之交,三,五,八月日时,如蛇年中四月,均为大吉告成之喜期。
月上花下,坎上震下,正是"屯"卦。屯卦具有元始的亨通之象。花在开始萌芽时,有些艰难和挫折,因为此时很脆弱,柔嫩,要好好呵护,不能给它任何伤害。过了立春雨水以后,就开始茁壮成长,生命力也旺盛得多。此签问到婚姻的结合也是这样,逐渐走向成功,走向牢固,越往后面越幸福,美满。看来婚姻动得过早,但并不一定都是坏事,要因人而异。

宝镜亲,照两人,心中结,合同心。
Explanation:
在联姻的诸多方式中,有一种叫宝镜亲,只是这个说法比较古老,几乎让人们忘记了。很久以前,有一个励宾国的大王得到一只美丽的鸾凤,就珍养起。可是这只鸾凤并不快东,三年都不鸣唱。大王的夫人说:"我听说鸟儿见到同类,就会唱起来,何不悬一面镜子照着它?"这话提醒了大王,马上就照此办理。鸾凤见=着镜中的自己便大放悲,声,哀婉冲天,挣扎了几下便死了。后来人们引此事为失偶之喻,称失偶后的第二姿民"宝镜亲"。所以古人在祝贺新婚时,是决不赠送镜子的,以为不吉。这支签理也很简单,出这次第地婚姻是件极好的事情特别是对于度婚姻的女性来说,是求之不得的。两人貌合,意味着很般配,而且志同道合,相亲相爱,永不分离。如其它信息的求问,也必遇女贵人为你助力,使得事情得以圆满成功。

Azure Dragon 青龍 9/6/2010, 24/2/2011
"Thanh Long" redirects here. For the fruit known as "Thanh Long", see Dragonfruit.
The Azure Dragon is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. It represents the east and the spring season. It should not be confused with the mythological yellow dragon that is associated with the Emperor of China. It is also referred to in media, feng shui, other cultures, and in various venues as the Green Dragon and the Avalon Dragon.[1]
It is known as Qinglong in Chinese, Seiryū in Japanese, Cheongnyong in Korean, and Thanh Long in Vietnamese. It is sometimes called the Azure Dragon of the East (simplified Chinese: 东方青龙; traditional Chinese: 東方青龍; pinyin: Dōng Fāng Qīng Lóng, or sometimes simplified Chinese: 东方苍龙; traditional Chinese: 東方蒼龍; pinyin: Dōng Fāng Cāng Lóng).

Tiger God 虎爺(Huye) 3/6/2010
Huye (虎爺), a guardian spirit, often found at the bottom of Taoist temple shrines. Worshipers revere the tiger spirit to curse spiritual enemies. Rituals include stomping an effigy of a spiritual enemy in front of the tiger spirit, as well as sacrificing meat offerings, paper gold, and others.
Master Tiger:
An important subsidiary animal deity in popular religion. His emergence can be traced back to the reverence of tigers prevalent amongst the nature worship of ancient China. The tiger’s reputation for brutality and ferocity in the eyes of the Han (漢) Chinese aroused feelings of awe, and this combined with Daoist beliefs to evolve into the Master tiger worship of contemporary folk religion.
The tiger’s status as an important accompanying deity comes despite the fact that tigers are not found in Taiwan. Master Tiger is closely associated with various other gods, and his role in most cases is that of the attendant, mount, or porter of the master deity. However, because Master Tiger accompanies a number of different gods, popular region bestows on him all their various divine powers, making him a formidable deity in his one right. For example, Master Tiger accompanies the God of Wealth (武財神) Zhao Gongming (趙公明), and therefore has the power to make people rich; Master Tiger also serves at the side of Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝, the Emperor of Life Protection), and so acquires the ability to heal, becoming the patron saint of the people when their children fall ill. Among Master Tiger’s other roles, some of the more important include acting as the guide and vanguard for touring deities, offering protection for temples, overseeing traffic safety, and being responsible for the safety of fishermen at sea and a bountiful catch upon their return.
Offerings in Taiwanese temples to Master Tiger are traditionally placed below the location of the main deity, befitting his position as a god of relatively low status. Nonetheless, there is no shortage of tales describing Master Tiger’s bold feats in folklore, and because of this in some areas offerings to Master Tiger are now placed on the table itself, and separate temples have even been built. To distinguish them from the traditional custom of placing Master Tiger offerings below the main deity (Earth Tiger), these are known as “Sky Tiger” temples, and have become symbols of the diverse nature of popular religion in Taiwan. An important region for temples to the “Sky Tiger” is Chiayi (嘉義), and in addition to Master Tiger accompanying touring gods on pilgrimages, grand celebrations are held there to commemorate Master Tiger’s birthday on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. In addition, temples dedicated to Master Tiger as the main deity are also seen in Changhua (彰化), Waipu (外埔) in Taichung (臺中), and Shiding (石碇) in Taipei.
The vast majority of Master Tiger images seen in temples still depict him in the form of a tiger, but differences in style among craftsmen have led to the emergence of “cute,” “ferocious,” and “cartoon” Master Tigers. With the rise in status of Master Tiger and in recognition of his legendary feats, he has also appeared in human form with a tiger head, or as a human wearing a tiger hat; this diversity in form is most marked in Xinmin Hall (新民堂) in Yilan (宜蘭), where offerings are made to all three of the above manifestations.

北斗真君又稱北斗星君、北斗七元星君。據《太上玄靈北斗本命延生真經》卷一、《太上玄靈北斗本命延生經註》卷上記載,北斗七元星君為:北斗陽明貪狼星君,北斗陰精巨門星君,北斗真人祿存星君,北斗玄冥文曲星君,北斗丹元廉貞星君,北斗北極武曲星君,北斗天關破軍星君。
北斗星君亦尊稱北斗七元星君,民間拜禮北斗星君,亦曰禮斗,以祈消災解厄、保命延生。《太清玉冊》載:「北斗七星稱為七元解厄星君,一曰貪狼,二曰巨門,三曰祿存,四曰文曲,五曰廉貞,六曰武曲,七曰破軍」。《雲笈七籤》亦云:「北斗星君乃丹元星天之斗君,主命祿籍,上法九天譜籙,中統鬼神部目,下領榮真兆民命籍」。據說,南斗、北斗兩位星君都是掌管人的生死、富貴吉凶的神明。因此,自古以來,人們為消災祈福、治病延生,所以常向南斗、北斗星君祭祀祈求。《北斗星君賜福真經》裡面記載,人的魂魄來源與歸宿均在「斗府」。「斗」就是人的本命元辰,每個人的性命因出生干支的不同而分屬於北斗七位星君所管轄,稱之為本命星君。信眾若於本命日向本命星君祭祀祈福,受其護佑,就能保天命。但是,由於每個人的本命日不同,行天宮本著濟世救人的精神,廣開方便之門,所以訂於每年春、秋時節舉行集體式的祈安大法會。
北斗星君,又稱“北斗真君”、“北斗七元星君”。北斗七元星君為:北斗陽明貪狼星君,北斗陰精巨門星君,北斗真人祿存星君,北斗玄冥文曲星君,北斗丹元廉貞星君,北斗北極武典星君,北斗衝破軍星君。相傳有一個國王叫周禦王,聖德無邊。國王有一個愛妃,號稱紫光夫人,明理慈慧,夫人許下大願,一定要為周禦王生下聖子,以輔助乾坤。一年的春天,夫人在溫玉池中沐浴,“忽然腹有所感,立即生下了蓮花九苞,應時開發,化生有九子,其中二個是天皇大帝、紫微大帝,另外七個就是北斗七星。北斗七星與南斗星君是並稱的,都是道教中重在的天神。相說,北斗星君能夠決定人的死期,古代有句俗話說:“南斗註生,北斗注死”的說法。
