臺灣的戒嚴時期，還是在1996年政府決定鎮壓幾個團體的時候，還是在中國大陸，當局不認可的宗教和心靈團體都被貼上了 #邪教 的標籤。這個說法在英文中常被翻譯成 “cult(異端的宗教信仰或崇拜)”，或 “xie jiao(邪教)”，但翻譯並不準確，而且有些不合時宜。
　　　
There is, however, another possibility. Both in Taiwan, during the Martial Law period and when the government decided to crack down on several groups in 1996, and in Mainland China, religious and spiritual movements the authorities do not approve of are labeled xie jiao. The expression is often translated in English as “cults,” or “evil cults,” but the translation is not precise and somewhat anachronistic.
　
倫敦大學研究員吳俊卿發表了多篇關於邪教概念歷史的研究，包括《曼達林與異端》（Leiden：Brill，2017）一書。其他學者將邪教作為一個政治和法律範疇可以追溯到明代，而吳曉波則表明，它最早出現在 #唐代 要求消滅佛教的傅毅（554-639）的著作中，具有 “異教 “的含義。此後的宋（960-1279年）、元（1279-1368年）兩朝，則以「白蓮教」為 #共同標籤，呼籲消滅被禁止的新宗教運動。到了明朝（1368-1644年），邪教成為一個法律概念，並開始編制邪教名單，清朝（1644-1912年）、民國、共產黨都延續了這一做法，也影響了臺灣。
　　
Wu Junqing, a research fellow at London University, has published several studies on the history of the notion of xie jiao, including the book Mandarins and Heretics (Leiden: Brill, 2017). While other scholars date the introduction of xie jiao as a political and legal category to the Ming era, Wu shows that it first appeared, with the meaning of “heterodox teachings,” in the writings of Fu Yi (554–639), who called for the eradication of Buddhism during the Tang dynasty. In the subsequent Song (960–1279) and Yuan (1279–1368) dynasties, xie jiao was used to call for the destruction of new religious movements banned under the common label of “White Lotus.” With the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), xie jiao became a legal concept, and lists of xie jiao started being compiled, a practice continued by the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), Republican, and Communist China, and which also influenced Taiwan.

I've always loved art and culture, it's what adds character, literature, and philosophy to our lives. It gives us a more textile quality and aesthetic dimension to what, who, when, how, and why we are.

Life's a lot of a math or a science, but much more of an art for me. Soul and spirit, imagination and play, what you think, but also what you feel and believe, the little things, conversations, meaning, they're essential to me, and light me up.

最近終於把照片一口氣洗好，除了搞笑怪短片之外，很少讓大家看到團員們在我眼中的樣子，畢竟也好久沒有拿起相機，對著身邊的人和生活了。最近在想為何把回憶留下來，令人這麼幸福？記錄、保存、翻閱，時不時發現跟自己記憶有出入的提示，冷靜想想，純粹只是同一天的不同角度而已。

狀態顯示為念舊中，昨天參加完小毛頭之亂2.0的感動難以言喻，好多愛，透雜在台上，起床腿都是瘀青，邊衝撞邊大聲唱著：「WE ARE FOREVER YOUNG」邊想辦法找空氣吸入。轉眼間大家都變好忙，很難像這樣聚在一起盡情的玩，左右看看，看到稔文伍悅俊彥雪莉都在人群裡跳跳跳，大家都又累又滿身汗，超想哭，想起好多老日子。謝謝所有願意坦率直接把愛分出來的人，不珍惜的人都是臭笨蛋。

分享一首愛歌作結，大家年末快樂！
