Pictured (1 of 3, others forthcoming): veneration of ancestors predates Confucius by millennia, but he codified it. I have been to a number of ancestral temples from large to small. This little temple in Nantou, Taiwan Province is very beautiful. It has two parts. On the left under the three big lanterns is an altar for the local Land God, which I will cover in future posts. On the right is the ancestral altar called Southern Happiness Temple (兴南宫), its sign on the stainless steel handrail with a lovely Celestial Dragon painting. In front is a green-roofed, bronze, tripod incense burner, with lion legs and dragon handles. Two Guardian Lions protect the temple. On the offering table is a magnificent, variegated orchid with a bonsai orange tree. Here, one leaves food and beverages for the ancestral spirits. Orchids represent Confucian Junzi (君子), who are those with noble and moral character. Oranges represent purity, cleansing and good luck.

Inside the protected altar are the Maternal and Paternal Ancestors. Above them is a woodcut Pixiu flying in the clouds. Pixiu (貔貅) are powerful, mythical, lion-like animals that protect souls and help the living with prosperity and happiness. They sport deer horns, feathered wings, can have hooved feet and eat gold, silver and jewelry.

The wood carving on the left is a hollowed out frog percussion instrument. On its stomach are ridges and with a drumstick, you can strike the top or rake the ridges to create a chant/prayer rhythm. In Chinese symbology, frogs bring fertility (to create future ancestors!), prosperity and happiness. The large bowl can hold fruit/flower offerings, etc. The two lanterns have peach lampshades. Peaches represent longevity and immortality.

Having lived and worked in China for 16 years, I now revere my ancestors. It teaches family cohesion, history, respect for elders and collectively bonds society.

Sam is an American Jew who regales us with his amazing life story and immigration to Russia. China Rising Sinoland 240531

Note before starting: Sam reached out to me and I was immediately interested in knowing more, since there are not many Americans who decide to pull up stakes and move to Russia. He sent me photos of him and his wife and talked on the phone. We planned a video interview, but on second thought he prefers to stay anonymous. Thus, over a number of days Sam answered my questions via WhatsApp. I do not agree with everything Sam says, but I never censor or edit my guests. His life story and points of view are enthralling and definitely worth reading. They broke the mold when they made Sam! Enjoy a fascinating mini-autobiography of an American Jew in Russia, often in steam-of-consciousness style!

Pictured: this is very common all over China, even in big cities like Shenzhen. Mom and pop grocery stores present their cold beverage coolers OUTSIDE the store, unlocked and free to take. In the top photo, the blue section does not even have a CCTV camera to watch for thieves. The cooler on the left has a camera upper right.

Bottom photo: curious, I went into the store and stood next to where mom and dad were working behind the counter. Both had their faces and hands buried in sorting inventory, paying zero attention for possible theft. Their CCTV images were so small and the screen so dusty that you couldn’t see anything, even if you stood underneath it! It’s just a reminder for citizens to do the right thing.

In the West, those coolers and store shelves would be emptied out in a day or two. We see real life examples of collective responsibility and individual honesty everywhere we go in China.
