The Yao manuscripts called "guo shan bang" are translated by Alberts as "Passport for Crossing the Mountain". They are also called "Yao charters."
These fascinating docs trace the origin of the Yao people from Panhu, the mythical dragon-dog who transformed into a man. 1/11

This is not a religious text. It is, rather, a charter issued under the Southern Sung emperor Li-tsung (Lizong) in 1260. It confirms twelve Yao clans in the possession of their lands and recalls the legend of their divine ancestor, P’an-ku (Pangu) or P’an-hu (Panhu). 2/11
The Passport is the single most important Yao document, and examples have been found in Yao villages throughout South China, and as far south as Northern Thailand. Such documents are copies of the original Passport issued in 1260, the origin of which is no longer certain. 3/11
Forever indebted to Judge Young, bard of #ERISA, for his #preemption dirge in Andrews-Clarke, 984 F. Supp. 49 (D. Mass. 1997). It's a masterful lamentation on entwined tragedies: Mr. Clarke's death and ERISA preemption's endurance.

An #ERISA plan covered Mr. Clarke,
with pre-utilization review.
"As a consequence of their failure to pre-approve" his admission to inpatient rehab

he so desperately required,
suffered horribly, and
ultimately died needlessly at age 41."

His widow & 4 children sought redress.
The Plan removed to Judge Young's Court and
"just as promptly,
asked this Court to throw her out
without hearing the merits of her claim.
This, of course, is ridiculous.
The tragic events set forth in [her] Complaint
cry out for relief."

England was going through a turmoil. Their ruler King John I was not considered a fit king.
Firstly, he raised the taxes unnecessarily on his people burdening them.
