It was a long time ago.  As I remember, while ornery,  I admired Chidragon for being willing to provide people with translations from Chinese.  Can't speak to his knowledge of Chinese alchemy but it was nice to have someone onboard fluent and willing to help other members translate.

Ah yes, I remember his MO more now.  Yes, useful for Chinese translations...although ironically, his mindset was entirely Western mechanistic.  I'm guessing he was an engineer?  Because, he would always sciensplain away all esoteric "woo woo" concepts...

Chinese esoterics are not in our culture, its very easy to misunderstand them.

 

I think the issue is just as bad in China - where Chinese esoterics are part of the culture - but so mixed up, confused and misunderstood, that most modern Chinese cultivators are just as lost as the western ones.
