New Resource: Imitate Bk. (Pīnyīn, Scriptures, Web) Pages

Last month, in response to user input, I began thinking about producing Pīnyīn and Pīnyīn-English web and EPUB material for the Imitate book. I eventually wrote out my conclusions and posted them here:

Now, the first Pīnyīn web material for the Imitate book has been posted:

For now, the above resources contain material covering the timeline and the maps on the inside covers of the Imitate book. More material will gradually be added as time allows.


Note that:

  • The material in the above resources has been carefully rendered and proofread.
  • Since the Imitate book may get revised, the material in the above resources has been checked against the Chinese Imitate book material on the WOL. If you notice that some changes need to be made to the material in the above resources to bring it in line with revisions to the Imitate book, please email me to let me know.
  • The linked full text in Pīnyīn of all the cited scriptures is included in the above resources.
  • The above resources are mobile-friendly—they are quite legible and usable on everything from desktop/laptop PCs and Macs to iPads and other tablets to iPhones and other smartphones.
  • In the above resources, links are used extensively to make it quick and easy to get around in the material, drastically reducing the amount of manual scrolling needed.
  • The above resources contain picture links.
  • The Offline Viewing sections of the above resources explain how to view them offline. Of course, in addition to being downloadable and viewable offline, the web pages of the above web resources can also be printed out from your web browser.
  • Turning mobile devices to landscape orientation causes the text in the above resources to become large-print text.
  • For your convenience, a short link is available for the above resources.

Also, the introductions explain why it’s good to use Pīnyīn as a writing system on its own.


The full Pīnyīn text of all the cited scriptures in the new material will be added to:
