Spirit Xin Ling (心灵 )

Spirit has many meanings in different contexts. The word s commonly used to refer to a supernatural being which is transcendent and therefore metaphysical in nature. For many people, however, spirit, like soul, is a natural part of a being, and is identified with mind, or consciousness, or the brain.

Xin Ling in Chinese, means one’s inner world of the heart, sometimes thoughts and feelings as well.

Compared English translation with Chinese translation, the former one is more comprehensive. English translation contains Chinese translation.

“Fulfilment must be sought through the spirit, not the

material.” I did not realize the importance of the

meaning that this sentence gave to me until one thing happened in my middle school. There was a period of time I didn’t really focus on my study, instead I spent a lot of time on buying clothes staff and having fun with my friends. Then my studies went down rapidly and I was very sad about that. I suddenly realized this living style was not what I want, so I know enriching my mind was and will always be the thing I have to in my whole life.
