In 1520, Wu Shi built the Hall of Zhu’e to celebrate his father’s eightieth birthday. This hall not only functioned as a tea-tasting space, but also an art gallery for present family’s painting collection and a museum for displaying the Yixing stoneware teapots. After the death of Wu Shi in 1545, the ownership of this hall has been transferred to the decedents of Wu Jing, who was the brother of Wu Lun. Fortunately, the good taste of tea within the Wu family remained. Almost a century after Wu…

Within the Dynastic Cycle, it was shown that the Tang and Song Dynasties of ancient China did have similar periods of how the Dynasties were founded. To start with, The Tang Dynasty wanted to follow the Confucius Dynasty. They liked the idea of having their politics and way of thought that educated people and work were more important than the family they came from. They also found their Dynasty to by following their codes of relationships their leaders could be like a father figure. They could…

Mabon, or the Fall Equinox, is another harvest festival. It is celebrated on September 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and on March 19th is the Southern Hemisphere. However, depending on how Mabon falls, it can also be on either the 22nd or the 23rd of September in the Northern Hemisphere. Just like Ostara, Mabon is a time when dark and light are balanced, but mostly the darkness sets in and we go from warm weather to cold weather. We harvest what is left in our gardens before the freezing cold…

1. Confucianism and Hinduism are two religions that are both similar and different here’s how. Confucianism originally came from china in 3rd century the person who founded it was named Confucius, his goal was to find an ideal monarch who could restore peace and order to China. Hinduism on the other hand had no single founder, and no deity to specifically worship. They both teach things like putting others before yourself. Also the teachings can be taken in different ways, because there is…

About a month ago, I learned about the three ancient Chinese philosophies: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. When people think of Daoism, they usually picture the half black, half white circle. It might just like a random shape, but this, I believe. I’ve had a countless number of good days in my life. However, like everyone else in the world, I also had some not-so-great days. One of those days took place quite recently. It was the twenty-sixth day of April. It was the day when the doctor…

The Han and the Romans had many technology advances, like water conservation offices, aqueducts, water powered engines, and more. Between the Romans and the Han most were happy with the tools; some were not impressed and upset. Another group was them being happy with the new technology but they had problems with the government. Some of the upper class Romans had enjoyed having tools, although some had also disliked the people distributing the technology, the government. Some were just happy…

to lack of experience and responsibility. Fortunately, some empresses were gifted with skills of a great politician such as Empress Dou, Empress Dowager Li and female emperor Wu Zetian. Empress Dou, during the Han dynasty, was not only a faithful wife but also a wise advisor of Emperor Han Wendi. Favoring Daoism instead of the traditional Confucianism, Empress Dou created a “government of non-action, on order to relax the population and to revive the economy” (“Persons in Chinese…

Confucius’s teachings and philosophies are considered secular and worldly - more focused on how the interactions and relationships of humans could impact a society - rather than a supernatural being or divine force. Confucius believed that the supernatural, such as god, spirits, and ancestors, for example, should be respected, but in a detached way. This connected to his understanding that supernatural figures did not directly impact the cultivation of virtue and dignity within a man, and his…

Ancient Chinese inventors have made many things we still use today. Some of those things are paper, silk, the wheelbarrow, rubber, and many more. The most important thing they have made is gunpowder. They used gunpowder in the wars just like we do today. We don’t use gunpowder as much as the Chinese did. Another one of china’s inventions were fireworks. They were first used for entertainment but then they started to use them to scare their enemies. Those were the most popular thing the chinese…

Chinese immigrants started coming to the US due to the gold rush of the 1848 and were at first received with open arms.However, within a few decades public opinions towards the Chinese as a whole shifted dramatically, climaxing at the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 which forbade all immigration to the United States by Chinese people. This law was the first piece of legislation that discriminates against people from a certain country of origin that was on the federal level. The irony comes from…
