(Preface:) Crack-making on chia-shen (day twenty-one), Ch’ueh divined: (Charge:) “Lady Hao will give birth and it may not be good.” (Verificiation:) After thirty-one days, on chia-yin (day fifty-one), she gave birth. It really was not good. It was a girl.”

Take a look at the early stages of the student protest in Xinjiang that sparked yesterday’s violence. Though it’s anybody’s guess at this point what happened, there’s probably a little truth in either side’s story. The police forces in Xinjiang have a reputation for brutality; in February 1998 during protests in Gholja, police forces hosed down Uighurs, causing hundreds to freeze to death. Tensions and anti-Han sentiments, however, are also high, so it doesn’t seem out of the question that Uighurs turned their anger against their Chinese compatriots.
