It connects to the  Aire and Calder Navigation at Wakefield.  It joins the  Huddersfield Broad Canal near Mirfield. There were many alterations over the years, so now it is mostly seperate from the river. 

The locks were designed for Yorkshire Keels. They are among the shortest on the English connected waterways network, at 57 feet (17 m).

Shendao shejiao

**Shendao teaching** () is a Chinese philosophy about religion. It originally meant following the natural way of things and setting up teaching to make people behave. Later on, it was used to educate people by talking about how good and bad things happen as a result of their actions. The idea of Shendao started in the early Western Zhou period and later became important in Confucianism as a way to teach character. Some people believe that it helped China understand and adopt the Western idea of religion.

## Zhou dynasty 
The Zhou dynasty of ancient China believed in the divinity of Shangdi, the supreme god, and diminished the importance of other ancestral and natural gods that were worshipped during the previous dynasty. The king of Zhou set up an "imperial registry" to worship God, and built a god of the land with chestnut wood to inspire fear in the people. The Zhou also created an "imperial court" as the emperor's office. The Zhou believed that the emperor could send down a great Lu order to protect his house and people. The world of the gods, mainly the "emperor" and "heaven," became the foundation for the kingship of the Zhou Dynasty. They established the concept of rule with "Mandate of Heaven" as the core, and the king was referred to as "Son of Heaven." This practice of the Zhou was Shendao's establishment of religion, which became a tool for political rule and adapted to the needs of patriarchal kingship. The ancient Chinese rulers used religious beliefs to strengthen their power, which is called the divine right of "Heaven and Man". This involved using practices like sacrifice and divination to gain support from the people. However, some thinkers did not believe in ghosts and gods, like Fan Zhen. He still believed in the importance of Shendao as a way to govern the country, bring peace to the people, and change traditions.

is a small shrine in Toyama City, Japan. The shrine's grounds were originally a Buddhist temple of the Jōdo Shinshū sect, but it was later converted into a Chukyoin in 1873.  

Chukyoin was a type of institution created to promote the teachings of the Taikyo Institute. There was one on each capital of a Prefecture of Japan.. Shokyoins were scattered all across the country. The size comparison resembles the words for University, Middle school, and Elementary school. 

All of them however promoted the same Taikyo proclamation teachings.

Around the Chukyoin site, there was a night market that became famous in 1904.

After the war people rebuilt the shrine on its original location.

The shrine building was rennovated in 2020.

Shrine Parishioner Registration

The Regulations for Shrine Parishioner Registration were rules made by the Council of State (Dajōkan) in Japan. They were in place for two years from 1871 to 1873.

## Overview 
The law had seven parts. The first part said that when a baby was born, the parents had to tell the village head. Then, they had to take the baby to the local shrine to get a special amulet. This amulet had to stay with the baby. If someone did not have this amulet, they had to tell the village head their name, birthdate, where they were born, and their father's name. The village head would then get an amulet for them. The village head would check the amulets every six years when they did a registration exercise. If someone died, their amulet had to go back to the shrine priest. 

Another set of rules was made at the same time called Regulations for Rural District Shrines. This set of rules said that each district had to have one rural district shrine responsible for overseeing registration. These rules were supposed to register all newborn babies. Some people think that these rules were also supposed to make shrines like temples from earlier times in Japan. These rules only lasted for two years, but the rules for district shrines lasted until after World War II. The Shrine Consolidation Policy merged shrines together for this purpose.

Taikyo Institute

The  was a Japanese Institution and part of the Ministry of Religion in the Empire of Japan.

## History 
The Taikyo Institute was established in 1872 with the aim of training kyōdo shōku or religious teachers. This was because the Missionary Office and Department of Divinities were not successful in their national indoctrination objectives. The institute was originally intended as a joint organization between Shinto and Buddhism, but eventually became completely dominated by Shinto. 

On January 1, 1875, there was a fire at the Taikyo Institute caused by arson. This caused confusion and led to four Jōdo Shinshū sects announcing informally that they were leaving the Taikyo Institute..

On May 3, 1875, the Great Teaching Institute was disbanded by the Ministry of Religion and was replaced by the Bureau of Shinto Affairs and later Shinto Taikyo.

The "Great Teaching" and "Taikyo Proclamation" use the same word, as does "Taikyo" in "Shinto Taikyo".

Unity of Heaven and humanity

**Unity of Heaven and humanity** is an old philosophical concept in China that can be found in various Chinese religions and philosophies. The main idea is that subjects including human ethics, physiology, and politics reflect *Tian*, which means "heaven" or "nature".

## History
The concept of unity of heaven and humanity has its roots in ancient Chinese religion, where people believed in spirits and experienced trances. This early shamanistic experience can still be observed in present-day Chinese folk religion. The idea was first mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period and was further developed in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
### Confucianism
Dong Zhongshu referenced the concept as "heaven and mankind induction" during the Han Dynasty, while the Cheng-Zhu school of Neo-Confucianism believed it was based on the theory of the Divine Principle.
### Taoism
In Daoism, the concept of *Tian*,  or Heaven, is viewed as nature, and humans are considered as a part of nature. The saying goes, "If there is man, there is also heaven; if there is heaven, there is also man." This belief reflects the idea that heaven and earth are interconnected and all things in the world are unified. As the philosopher Chuang-tzu stated, "Heaven and earth were born with me, and all things are one with me."
### Chinese medicine
The *Huangdi Neijing* is a traditional Chinese medicine text that supports the idea of the unity of Heaven and humanity. According to the text, humans are connected to nature and should be in harmony with the four seasons. The text emphasizes that humans participate in and are one with heaven and earth. It states that humans have a unified origin, properties, structure, and laws with heaven, which is considered an objective existence independent of human spiritual consciousness. The text also suggests that humans have spiritual consciousness and are a subject with it.

## Similar thoughts
The concept of "unity of God and humanity" in the Western world is similar to the Chinese idea of "unity of Heaven and humanity," but there are some differences. In ancient Greece, only a sorcerer with special powers could achieve the "unity of God and humanity." In Christianity, anyone who confesses their sins and accepts Jesus Christ as God's only Son can become a child of God and enter eternal life. The Islamic view emphasizes that believers should observe "good works."

In Indian culture, the central theme of the Upanishads, which are great classic texts, is the unity of *Brahman* (Moksha). This principle is practiced by profound yogis and is similar to the Chinese idea of the unity of heaven and humanity.

Dewsbury

**Dewsbury** is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire. It is on the River Calder. A bit of the Calder and Hebble Navigation waterway goes there. It is to the west of Wakefield, east of Huddersfield and south of Leeds.

It was an important centre for wool milling.  They collected used woollen items,  mixed them with new wool and made heavy blankets and uniforms.

Dewsbury Minster is near the River Calder. Some of it was built in the 13th century.  The market was set up in the 14th century.

In 1770, a short branch of the Calder and Hebble Navigation reached the town.  That helped the mills because the boats could get to Manchester and Hull.

The town now has a large Muslim community.

Leeds and Liverpool Canal

The **Leeds and Liverpool Canal** runs from Leeds to Liverpool.  It is 127 miles (204 km) long. It goes over the Pennines.  There are 91 locks on the main line and several small branches.  It is the longest continuous canal in the United Kingdom.

It was started when people saw the success of  the Bridgewater Canal which opened in 1759–60.  It joins the Bridgewater Canal at Leigh, by a branch from Wigan.

James Brindley made the plan, but he died in 1772. Work was started on both sides of the Pennines.  This included some impressive engineering like  the Bingley Five Rise Locks, Bingley Three Rise Locks and the seven-arch aqueduct over the River Aire. Work stopped in 1781 because the money ran out.  It started again in 1791, on a different route from the earlier plan, and the main line of the canal was finished in 1816.  This included the Foulridge Tunnel, which was 1,640 yards (1,500 m) long and was very expensive, and the Burnley Embankment, which is 1,350 yards (1,234 m) long and up to 60 feet (18 m) high.

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the Rochdale Canal crossed the Pennines before it was finished.

The most important cargo was always coal, with over a million tons per year being delivered to Liverpool in the 1860s. Because it could have wide boats it  competed successfully with the railways throughout the 19th century and stayed open through the 20th century.

In the Second World War a German bomb fell on it in Bootle.

In 2009 a new section was built, connecting it to the docks in the centre of Liverpool, which had become a centre of tourism.

Jingu-kyo

Jingūkyō was a Shinto organization that was established during the Meiji era in Japan. While it was not included as one of the thirteen sects of prewar Shinto, it possessed characteristics of sect Shinto until the mid-Meiji period. It was organized by Urata Nagatami and others, with Tanaka Yoritsune as its first Superintendent.

In 1872, Urata Nagatami asked for permission to start a Shinto church called Jingū Kyōkai, shortly after the Ministry of Religion was created. He opened teaching centers and religious groups to organize his disciples, then combined them under the name Divine Wind Religious Association in 1873. Popular pilgrimage groups that were already established were also included. The Jingūkyo Institute started spreading its teachings throughout the country after the dissolution of the Daikyōin in 1875.

The Jingū Hōsaikai still follows the same basic ideals as Jingūkyō, focusing on the Grand Shrines of Ise, Emperor worship, studying kokugaku. Even today, the legacy of Jingūkyō can be seen in Japanese society and culture.

Unity of knowledge and action

The **Unity of knowledge and action (知行合一)** is a concept in philosophy created by Wang Yangming. It means that knowledge and action should go together and help each other. This idea says that only by behaving well can someone become wise. It is similar to the Western idea called virtue epistemology.

## Overview 
In Chinese philosophy, knowledge and action were usually seen as related but different. Wang disagreed and said there was no difference between them. He thought that knowledge was knowing how to act in a situation, based on his ideas about people and their innate knowledge. He also believed that the world was always changing, rather than staying the same,

Wang Yangming disagreed with the teachings of Zhu Xi, a famous philosopher. Zhu Xi encouraged students to study in two parts, one theoretical and one practical. Wang believed this approach made people ineffective.

## Application 
Western philosophers talk about akrasia, which is when someone does something they know is wrong on purpose. But Wang disagrees. He says that just saying you know something is wrong isn't enough. You have to actually act on what you know for it to count. For example, if a student cheats on a test but says cheating is wrong, Wang would say they don't really understand what they're saying..

## Similar ideas 
The idea of combining knowledge and action is not exclusive to Chinese philosophy. Similar ideas can be found in Western literature. Hermann Hesse in his novel *Demian* writes that only the thoughts we put into action have real value. The motto of MIT, "Mens et Manus" or "Mind and Hand," also emphasizes the importance of combining inner knowledge with actions.

The idea of virtue Epistemology in contemporary Western philosophy also shares similarities with Wang Yangming's concept of the Unity of Knowledge and Action. Both emphasize the importance of practical wisdom and the integration of knowledge and action.

Political union

A **political union** is a type of political entity. They are usually made up of smaller polities. These smaller administrative divisions are usually called federated states and federal territories in a federal government. In a centralized government, they are often prefectures, regions or provinces. This form of government may be created by cession. This is usually called *unionism.* The United Kingdom is an example of this unionism. In other cases, it may come from political unification. This involves coercion and conquest. If states were separated after being a single states, putting them back together would be *reunification*. This happened when East and West Germany joined back together as Germany.  The individual constituent entities may have devolution of powers but they must still follow the rules of a central government. In a federalised system, the constituent entities usually have internal autonomy. For example, they normally have the power to setup their own police departments. They normally give the federal government power in many areas. These often include military forces and foreign affairs. The union is seen by other countries as a single political entity.

Zhangixalus

***Zhangixalus***  is a group of frogs in the subfamily Rhacophorinae, family Rhacophoridae. They are called '''Zhang's treefrogs'* in English. They live in the Eastern Himalayas, southern China, Taiwan, Japan, and southeast Asia.

## Name
The frogs are named for Zhang Ya-Ping from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang worked in biodiversity and evolution research in China. *Ixalus* is a word that means treefrogs.

## Taxonomy
Scientists made the group *Zhangixalus* in a 2019 when they were looking at the very large genus *Rhacophorus* (92 species). They divided *Rhacophorus* into three groups: *Rhacophorus* sensu stricto (then 39 species; as of November 2021, 43 species), *Leptomantis* (then 14 species; as of November 2021, 13 species), and *Zhangixalus'' (then 37 species; as of November 2021, 40 species). They did this because of molecular data, such as DNA, but also because they could see differences in the frogs' bodies and in the places where they lived. *Rhacophorus* is the sister taxon of *Zhangixalus* and *Leptomantis*.

## Description
*Zhangixalus* are large frogs, ranging between  in from nose to rear end, but most are more than more than . The snout is round. The terminal phalanges of fingers and toes are Y-shaped. Dorsal skin is smooth or has some small bumps. Most frogs have green skins. The female lays eggs in white foam nests that the two frogs make together.

*Zhangixalus* has frogs that seem not to be related to other frogs: *Z. achantharrhena*, *Z. dulitensis*, and *Z. prominanus*. They are different from other *Zhangixalus* frogs: they have folds in their skin by their legs and tarsal projections. Scientists are not sure these species really should be in *Zhangixalus*.

## Species
There are 41 species in this genus:

The AmphibiaWeb recognizes the same species except *Zhangixalus amamiensis*, which is treated as being part of *Zhangixalus viridis''.
