Talk:Jixia Academy

This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Title: Jixia Academy[edit]

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.

Zero mentions? Then we should remove the OR pending some usage cites. — LlywelynII 12:42, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

Lacouperie's idiosyncratic term "Wonderism" refers to the Jixia Academy. Shouldn't these articles be merged? Keahapana (talk) 02:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I discussed this on the Jixia Academy page. I believe the articles should not be merged. Evangeline (talk) 22:49, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

WP:ERA, ENGVAR[edit]

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)[reply]

Sources for article expansion[edit]

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:
