Mighty and influential all over the world! The Japanese did it! Even Vietnamese people can do it and do it better! Convection between Eastern and Western civilizations Anthropology has discovered and determined that Ethiopia – the original land of coffee trees is also the original homeland of humans to recognize Homo Sapiens. In ancient Ethiopian folk beliefs, coffee was not only for drinking but also for sacrifice and for eating. Coffee beans play a fundamental role in the Buna Qalmaa (blessing), Zar (evil and healing) rituals, and Waaq (Gods) offerings. Later, Sufi Muslims inherited and implemented the coffee ritual in the nights of Dhikr’s meditation to worship Allah. From the very beginning, coffee has been projected by people’s wishes and prayers into the mysterious universe. From the function of awakening, coffee as energy helps people to wake up in the dark night to realize the meaning of life and get closer to the extraordinary world. In the middle of the 17th century, when it was officially introduced into Europe and spread to the Americas, coffee opened the way for the minds of European and American intellectuals to promote their intellect and creativity needed to form a society. Knowledge. Coffee for the West from the beginning has been heavily ideological: to accumulate capital, increase labor efficiency to create a new life. The industrial revolution, the scientific revolution ushers in a new era – a world transformed by discoveries, inventions and technological achievements… Humans have moved from the place of following the heavens, to the logic of nature. Nature has ambition to master nature and is invincible. Technology has become a “new religion” that holds the key to a utopian dream. By the middle of the 20th century, after two world wars was the “age of extremism”, starting the process of young European and American generation questioning the meaning of economic growth for social development. Many creative people at the time believed that the creative energy nature was still being suppressed within each person and it was necessary to scrutinize the real aspirations, emotions, and actions of people to ” planetary healing”. On the other hand, scientists have made new discoveries about the original origin of matter and the nature of existence, leading to a fundamental change in the way people perceive the world and relationships. of man and the universe. From the Einstein Café – the residence of the great physicist Albert Einstein in Bern (Germany), the theories of special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1915) were developed, which broke out many “big bangs” in the thought process. contemplative thinking, exploding the boundary in the perception of opposites between reality and illusion, between time and space, between energy and matter, between existence and space, between subject and object, between reason and contemplation, between the minimum and the maximum, and also between the East and the West. In 1960, the famous psychoanalyst Eric Fromm and Zen scholar Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki discovered a close resemblance between the basic dimensions of Zen Buddhism and psychoanalysis. In 1975, physicist Fritjof Capra wrote “The Way of Physics” – one of the precious books in the field of Science in the Foundation Bookcase for Changing Life by Founder – Chairman of Trung Nguyen Legend Group Dang Le Nguyen. Vu carefully selected – to demonstrate the magical fusion between modern physics and Eastern mysticism. Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933) also confirmed the influence of the Vedas in his scientific approach. Psychoanalyst Carl Jung, the father of the theory of the collective unconscious, and physicist Wolfgang Pauli (Nobel Prize in Physics in 1945) explained the wonderful harmony between East and West, between wisdom and consciousness. , between science and art with a model called depth of consciousness that they called “Unus mundus”. From discovering the epistemological similarities of the West with the East, scientists have found in Eastern philosophy a worldview that illuminates the dilemmas of matter. The West, from the antagonism of thinking with the East, has re-recognized the contributions of Eastern civilization to human culture, from philosophy, theology, to mathematics, astronomy… In other words, The West turns to the East mainly to find its own identity and origin: “turning east” for the West is understood as a process of returning to the origin. Coffee and the journey to the East With the popularity of the above trend, in the field of coffee consumption has developed a number of genres and forms that were not available before. The most prominent are Coffee Based Body Treatments, which can be briefly called body-nourishing coffee and Regenerate Coffee, which means coffee for the mind. Body coffee includes the use of all coffee extracts and preparations (picked fruit, split seeds, roasted seeds, leaves, flowers, branches, grounds) in the field of physical therapy.

Since 2002, many large corporations such as Ritz-Carlton, George V, Marriott, Sangri-La, Hyatt and Hilton have used coffee products in their coffee body care regimens (collectively referred to as “coffee body care”). body coffee) in many resorts around the world, providing an atmosphere of “turn in, tune in, drop out” which means “go inward, listen to your inner self and let go of defilements”. Coffee body care has also evolved in tandem with Ayurvedic physiotherapy – a traditional Indian system of medicine aimed at keeping mind, body and spirit in balance and preventing diseases. Invisible, body coffee and Ayurveda are a form of “eastward”. Coffee nourishes the mind, building the characteristics of the product, the characteristic of the space and the special of the service based on helping people achieve 4K consciousness: “knowing the flavour, knowing the taste, knowing the transcendence “Knowing the immanence”, in the Eastern parlance, is the Four Enlightenment Tri – the four knowings include: ‘Tri-Tri-Fang’, ‘Tri-Tri-Fanta’, ‘Tri-Fantasy’ and ‘Tri-Fantasy’. The knowledge of flavor and taste is through the recognition and evaluation of the pre-taste and aftertaste of coffee, which recognizes the origin, origin, harvest, production, and roasting method. grinding and dispensing of the product. The spirit of wisdom is to feel the desires, dreams, and messages of the people who made that coffee product. And the mystical vision in the direction of achieving one’s own dynamic expectations lies in the cup of coffee that we are enjoying. That is, to understand one’s own heart, only to reach the magical and mystical level of recognizing the subjectivity from the object form, recognizing the true heart (the original face) from the various dynamic forms, which is the level of reality. Enlightenment, Enlightenment, Enlightenment in the way of mind-melting in Eastern zazen In short, coffee to nourish the body or coffee to nourish the mind is to enjoy coffee to understand more about yourself and the life around you. It is also the way to help people absorb the concept of “spiritus mundi – the spirit of the whole world”. Welcome to the next period: Coffee Four Enlightenment.

The unfortunate “refresh” According to businessman Ho Hoang Hai – who currently owns most of the villa at 10A Ngoc Ha slope, Hanoi (now 186 Ngoc Ha lane) is said to be related to King Bao Dai, this villa is due to French architect Arthur Kruze designed. Originally, there are 3 floors, but the previous owner renovated the hot-resistant attic to become the 4th floor. The area in front of the villa, which is a garden of over 300m2, has a fence – surrounded by the people in the area called “dragon wall”, but this space has been built by people to live, only dragon wall. The surround was kept almost intact, only a short corner of the corner at the top of the alley was demolished. A corner of the villa still remains original. Photo: Thuong Hue “Two months ago I acquired a part of the ownership of the villa which is a part of the 1st and 3rd floors, the rest is from 4 owners. In general, the interior of the house has been surprisingly intact for the past 110 years such as: Stairs, ironwood floors, fireplace, wooden doors, built-in wooden cabinets ”- businessman Ho Hoang Hai shared and expressed wish to find solutions to preserve the architecture as well as historical and cultural values ​​of this villa.
However, speaking with the Economic & Urban reporter, after 4 hours of preliminary survey in and on the premises of this villa, Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung – Head of Department of Theory and Heritage Conservation architecture, Hanoi Architectural University said that the original value of the villa has been overshadowed by the regrettable renewal.
According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, although the villa still retains many valuable original values, from looking outside, the professionals can see the existing details such as: yin and yang tiled roof; roof architecture inspired by traditional communal roofs with blades soaring at the four corners; dragon wall surrounds; The red brick stairs in front of the villa leading up to the second floor are still original. Inside the villa, there are intact fireplaces, built-in cabinets, window frames and curtains, showing the unique architecture of this French colonial villa, combining Eastern and Western cultures. The outward appearance has the appearance of the East, in the heart of the modern Western-style architecture; not at all contradictory, but surprisingly and interestingly in harmony with each other. Unfortunately, the homeowner has renewed the wall with white paint, plus the plaster ceiling, plus the landscape of the original villa has been replaced by undulating high-rise tube houses. The original architecture of the villa was sunk and overshadowed.
“That’s not to mention, the villa has been added to an attic, the existing wooden staircase is most likely not original, as through preliminary investigation, the original staircase leaned towards the grantino plan ( granulated stone, pigment, cement, plastering, glazing), not wood cladding. Along with that, the multi-ownership of the current villa makes the space and architecture here be broken by the walls blocking the ownership boundary. For example, the staircase from the first floor leads to the third floor (the part owned by businessman Ho Hoang Hai). With this architecture, the staircase going up to the right is the hall on the 2nd floor but is narrowed by a wall and then the path to the 3rd floor is quite narrow. ” – Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung analyzed.
Need to expand the scope of conservation
According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, in order for the aforementioned villa to promote its value, the original element must be clearly revealed. To do this, he said that it is not easy, because the principle of conservation is to have a comprehensive conservation plan and then to be specific, that is to preserve the whole area, from house number 170 – 186 Ngoc Ha, Because there are still a number of French colonial villas in this area, there are even more intact architectural villas than the one related to King Bao Dai mentioned above. Meanwhile, this area is outside the boundary of the regulation on architectural planning management of the old quarter of Hanoi. “However, it is still a bit fortunate that it is still on the list of the management of French colonial mansions of the city. But in order to preserve and promote the value of this mansion, it is imperative to expand the conservation scope ”- Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung emphasized. Entrepreneur Ho Hoang Hai (leftmost) discusses with experts and economic and urban reporters. Regarding the businessman Ho Hoang Hai wants to preserve this villa, Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung said that this is good news, welcome and should be encouraged. Because of the fact, the villas of French colonial architecture in Hanoi that are still quite intact, mostly owned by the State, are offices, embassies; Privately owned villas appear to have been deformed over time. He also said that, in order to do this, businessman Ho Hoang Hai must first buy all the ownership of the villa in order to preserve and reveal the original value and promote the value of the villa. the villa in all aspects.
Expressing high agreement with the analysis and comments of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, Dr. Vu Hoai Duc – Lecturer of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Sciences, National University of Hanoi, said, in the world. there are already experiences in successfully conserving the urban heritage that are applicable to this case in Hanoi. People gather heritage lovers into a group, this group of people with the nucleus are “sponsors”, while promoting communication about the value of heritage works, in order to create new awareness in community. They will then work vigorously on the legal front (lobbying for regulations to make it more difficult to change the urban layout and destroy valuable buildings) and eventually donate. have enough money, buy heritage buildings, renovate them beautifully and then sell them at a much higher price, with legal covenants protecting their identity.

“In my opinion, in Vietnam, specifically Hanoi can also be deployed in this way and Mr. Hai can form a team of lovers of old and old villas to mobilize collective strength in conservation work. , not only the villa is partly owned by you but also many other single villas are privately owned in the area and in the city area ”- Dr. Vu Hoai Duc said and said that, in the short term, It is necessary to properly assess the value of the urban heritage itself in the spatial population with tangible and intangible links on the cultural – historical dimension. For example, the continuation of the row of 3 villas, closely related to the Botanical Park – the royal garden in the past; Dinh and Ngoc Ha village – one of the ancient lands of Thang Long citadel. From there, it is possible to issue and enforce sanctions in repair and construction of works, work areas that are considered to have historical, cultural and architectural values. Although it is called “Bao Dai Villa”, the fact that King Bao Dai ever owned or actually lived here is not certain. There is information that this villa was built and inaugurated by an aunt of King Bao Dai in 1911 (Bao Dai was born in 1917), when abdicated, King Bao Dai used to come here. However, it is said that this is the mansion of Mr. Bao Dai with King Bao Dai, that is Baron Pìerre Jules François Didelot – husband of Mrs. Marie Agnès Huu Hao, sister of Nam Phuong Hoang Hau. The villa was built in 1939, not 1911, by architect Arthur Kruze (1900 – 1989) – professor of Indochina Fine Arts College, because according to recorded documents, architect Arthur Kruze graduated in architecture in 1929 and I went to Vietnam to be a lecturer in 1930 – 1954.

King Bao Dai His real name is Nguyễn Phúc Vĩnh Thụy (1913-1997), the last king of Nguyen Dynasty . He is famous for owning many of the most luxurious mansions in Vietnam, with a total of seven mansions scattered across the country. Hidden in a lane at the beginning of Ngoc Ha street, the house mansion wearing a tepid color of time. The house was built more than a century ago, perhaps because of that, it is bold in me France architecture in Indochina at that time. Ancient buildings are a unique combination of both Eastern and Western architectural styles. Outside, the typical oriental dragon phoenix roof architecture. Although nearly 100 years old, the roofing tiles remain intact and have not faded over time. Stepping inside, the interior designs are completely Western, with windows that are structured in French outer glass: the regular inside is shaded by lightning. Not only that, but the window system and sliding rail doors still operate smoothly after nearly a century. What impresses anyone when visiting the house is perhaps the wide, graceful ironwood steps connecting the floors. In addition, the heating system and wooden wall-mounted cabinets available in all rooms remain original. What amazes visitors is that the house has an underground tunnel system and an exit as far as West Lake. However, decades ago, the government, when taking over, rebuilt it and assigned it to high-ranking officials. It can be seen that this is a historical work with a special architecture, both modern and once on the luxury of the residence of the last emperor of the Vietnamese feudal dynasty./.

Speaking to CNN reporters during a visit to the frontline area in the East on April 12, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that “an invasion” from Russia was highly likely and that Ukraine was ready to face the challenge when it was a story related to the country’s territory.

The West has also officially voiced concerns about Russian military movement in the region bordering Ukriane. European Council spokesman Peter Stano said on April 12 that the European Union hoped there would be no escalation of tensions or conflict in eastern Ukraine, urging Russia to avoid steps that could increase tensions in the region. He also said the Ukraine issue would be on the agenda at the meeting of EU foreign ministers, scheduled to open next April 19.

For its part, Moscow insists that the movement of soldiers and weapons within Russian territory is normal, in order to ensure the security and territorial defense of Russia, not a threat to anyone. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on April 12 also reiterated the view that Russia needs to pay attention to the Russian-speaking ethnic community around the world in general and that need is increasingly urgent for communities in the two self-proclaimed donbass countries, who are also rejected by the Kiev authorities.

The war 10 sides expected: However, a large-scale clash in Eastern Ukraine is less likely, especially between Russia and Ukraine.

The Ukraine issue was a prominent factor in Mr Biden’s proposal to meet with President Putin at a phone call between the two leaders on April 13. Photo: CNN

On the Ukrainian side, the key issue lies in the that President Zelensky is losing credibility, political position. Many of the initiatives he outlined when he came to power were deadlocked. He also lost support within the ruling People’s People’s Party.

Many members of the party see, with recent steps – such as passing language laws, shuting down anti-Russian broadcasters, Mr. Zelensky is following the agenda of his predecessor Poroshenko. This means losing personal status, entering the next election with many unfavorable factors.

U.S. and Western backing is also a factor kiev must take into account. To date, the U.S. has expressed great support for Ukraine, but is in favor of claiming to be the main one. President Joe Biden pledged “backing first as one” to kiev authorities, including military aid. The White House also urged European allies, especially France and Germany, to stand side by side with Ukraine.

But the most desirable thing is that modern weapons and the prospect of NATO membership remain out of Kiev’s reach. Without both of these factors, Ukraine would not dare risk opening a war in Donbass, because it would be an act of suicide.

Ukrainian President Andriy Yermak made a blunt offer to the West, saying: “Ukraine is the anti-Russian frontline of the West. But look, where does the U.S. deploy the Patriot missile defense system? The closest point is Poland. Such systems need to appear in Ukraine”. Ukraine has so far not received missiles, modern weapons capable of repelling enemy air attacks.

Mr Zelensky in a phone call with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on April 6 again asked the military alliance to give a clear roadmap for Ukraine to join NATO. He insisted full membership would be the decisive factor in ending the war in Donbass. In response, NATO argued that Kiev must first focus on domestic reforms and develop its defense potential in a way that is in close proximity to the bloc’s standards, which in the end will be considered.

For Russia, the move to close ukraine’s borders is a way for Moscow to move its message to the West, which is not necessarily a warm-up for a new conflict with Kiev. According to Michael Kofman, Director of the Research Division on Russia at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Russia deliberately publicly moved its troops, in order for Ukraine and the West to recognize it. Russia’s primary purpose is to pressure Kiev and some Western allies as progress on implementing the Minsk II ceasefire agreement is intended and in line with its interests.ch of Moscow.

The Ukrainian leadership is also in the ting of this evaluation trend. President Zelensky sees Russia’s actions as a test against the West. What Moscow wants is to “escalate tensions” to the threshold enough for the U.S. and NATO to step down in favor of Kiev, hesitating to recognize Ukraine as a real partner.

Military pressure is a step for Moscow to establish its influence in Ukraine as it wishes. Russia did so after noticing that hopes for current construction in Ukraine through political measures were gone, with decisions by Mr Zelensky’s administration on sanctioning elements, the anti-Russian political force, shut down Russian-language broadcast TV channels. It means that the scenario of a leader, the russian party is unlikely to be in power in Kiev in the near future – something that lies in Moscow’s long-term calculations.

President Zelensky’s administration did not want to risk escalating the war in Donbass, because the consequences were too great. Mr Putin may still decide to launch a total force offensive, which is that Ukraine is almost incapable of resisting and that it is “really scary,” as the Kiev leader himself admits. But on the public side, Mr. Zelensky is not allowed to reveal it.

As the purpose of the parties gradually reveals, statements or military moves can be just a cover, a way to create pressure and public opinion to be able to reach the negotiating table with the greatest advantage.
