The Dynastic Cycle
If every part of the dynastic cycle took exactly 2 years,
and a new emperor took control of China in the year of the dragon,
What zodiac animal would it be the year of,
if the people of China started rebelling against the emperor?
I am found between heaven and earth,
Between ruler and subject,
Between nature and man,
Buddhists seek me within,
Taoists seek me in the Tao,
Confucians seek me in society,

Background about this topic
Speaking of craters, many of them were named after artists or authors who made significant contributions to their respective fields. Mercury takes a little more than 58 days to complete its rotation, so try to imagine how long days must be there! Since the temperatures are so extreme, albeit not as extreme as in Venus, and the solar radiation is so high, Mercury has been deemed to be non-habitable for humans
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest one in the entire Solar System. This planet's name has nothing to do with the liquid metal, since Mercury was named after the Roman messenger god. Despite being closer to the Sun than Venus, its temperatures aren't as terribly hot as that planet's. Its surface is quite similar to that of Earth's Moon, which means there are a lot of craters and plains
