What's so special about Dec 16th?

Postby Dukasaur on Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:40 am

Question, mainly for Swickdick and Saxi, what is happening December 16th?

I read an article by a guy who claimed that the Chinese attack on Taiwan will come on December 16th. He gave all kinds of reasons for the Chinese attack, but never explained why that date.

Everyone knows there's a real danger that the Peking Pig will one day swallow the Taiwan Truffle, but I can't see any reason for a specific date like that. Is there something I'm missing? Is there some symbolic significance to Dec 16th in Chinese history or something?

The answer is likely a conversion of the Chinese lunar calendar and tradition/superstition.

Mrswrk might know.

I know the OP was not originally addressed to me but I will weigh in since Duk has subsequently asked for me to share my considerable expertise. I don't know any reason why Dec 16th would be significant in China - what's the article?

Possible explanations:
  • The US issued a $25m reward for the head of ISIS on 16/12 - is that now international defeat terrorism day?
  • As GD says, Avatar 2 will be opening in China that day so maybe the government wants to provide some patriotic alternative viewing
  • The Boston Tea Party took place on 16/12 - maybe it is an auspicious date for standing up to colonial powers and their vassals

Likely Duk tapped into the Chinese war machine using a back channel

Just “cuz” you don’t care DOES NOT mean “nobody cares”.

You’re an idiot with a pea-sized brain, so you don’t have the intellect to care about much.

ConfedSS did not say, but this event has NOTHING to do with Tides; however, it is a SIGNIFICANT event in the History of China:
December 16th, 755 A.D
The An Lushan Rebellion was an uprising against the Tang dynasty of China towards the mid-point of the dynasty (from 755 to 763), with an attempt to replace it with the Yan dynasty. The rebellion was originally led by An Lushan, a general officer of the Tang military system. The event involved military activity and direct deaths from battle, but also significant associated population loss from famine, and population dislocations. The event is also known, especially in Chinese historiography, either as the An–Shi Rebellion or as the An–Shi Disturbances (simplified Chinese: 安史之乱; traditional Chinese: 安史之亂; pinyin: Ān Shǐ zhī luàn). The use of the term luàn ("chaos") indicates the extreme social instability and population loss which eventually resulted, far beyond the initial consequences of the rebellion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Lushan_Rebellion#Death_toll

This battle is a Naval Battle, as ConfedSS said:

The Battle of Noryang, the last major battle of the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), was fought between the Japanese navy and the combined fleets of the Joseon Kingdom and the Ming dynasty. It took place in the early morning of 16 December (19 November in the Lunar calendar) 1598 and ended past dawn.

The allied force of about 150 Joseon and Ming Chinese ships, led by admirals Yi Sun-sin and Chen Lin, attacked and either destroyed or captured more than half of the 500 Japanese ships commanded by Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was attempting to link-up with Konishi Yukinaga. The battered survivors of Shimazu's fleet limped back to Pusan and a few days later, left for Japan. At the height of the battle, Yi was hit by a bullet from an arquebus and died shortly thereafter. Chen Lin reported the news back to the Wanli Emperor, and since then, Chen and Yi were celebrated as national heroes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Noryang

SO if the best tides is around the Equinox, December 16 has ALMOST NOTHING to do with a likely military landing at Taiwan. :roll: :o

As for the other matter, about DDS, that is not important. :D

Lastly, I knew NOTHING about those two events regarding Chinese and Far East History, so it was FUN to learn about both. Thanks for sharing, ConfedSS. =D>

------I gave the 2 historical dates of December 16th in Chinese History.....I never said China would invade Formosa on December 16th... :D ...
--------------If one is to invade by sea...,water...High Tides make for an easier landing....Those dates , around,give or take a day.ish...Would be the BEST TIME for Eleven (XI)...to invade Formosa... :D ...D-Day for the Allies, went even harder in WW2...IKE had to deal with rough seas,storms ,and LOW TIDE....But it did expose the German defense, that would of been hidden in High Tide....But low tide , ment a longer wading through the water and German machine gun fire...
----------------- Where as At Inchon, The Korean War... MacArthur , launched his sea invasion ,at 5:30 am HIGH TIDE September 15th , near The Autumn Equinox...BEST TIME to do it.....The U.S. Forces had a cake walk at Inchon.... :D :D :D ...He could of also went around the Spring Equinox, March 21st... Although I think By then Allied forces would of been driven off The Korean Peninsula....
