I take it that Chang Taoling's activities round about this year 165 represent an impulse of the national soul to awakenment under the influence of the recurrence of the Eastern Han Day half-cycle. What kind of reality Chang Taoling represents, one cannot say: whether a true teacher in his degree, sent by the Lodge, around whom legends have gathered; or a mere dabbler in alchemy and magic.
He began his career of conquest about the time the major Han Cycle was due to recur, in the sixties; maintained it through three reigns, and ended it at his death about when the Eastern Han half-cycle, started in 35, was due to close; somewhere, that is, about 100 A.D., while Trajan was beginning a new day and career of conquest in Rome.
They were now released from the toil of sharpening the Sword a half-cycle of years, to wander in delight on the fair surface of the flowery earth, breathing its roses, wooing its brides; for the mastery of an Event lasteth among men the space of one cycle of years, and after that a fresh Illusion springeth to befool mankind, and the Seven must expend the concluding half-cycle in preparing the edge of the Sword for a new mastery.
But then there is the complication induced by Han Kwang-wuti, who started his cycle in 35.... or more probably his half-cycle; I should look for it to be no more than that, on account of this same wastage of the forces; this also has to be taken into consideration.
