Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Calendar of the Gods in China, 1916 This Calendar of the Chinese gods was prepared during an enforced absence in Japan in the summer of 1900. But owing to the pressure of other duties it was not published, as I wished to improve it. However, the pressure of other business continued. Therefore, though imperfect, its publication may save others from going needlessly over the same ground, and may be of some aid to a right attitude towards the millions who now worship many gods, because they have not an opportunity of knowing anything better. So I send it forth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Japanese Fortune Calendar written by Reiko Chiba and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-10 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide to the Japanese zodiac gives a complete explanation of all 12 animal years. Like people of the West, Eastern people have a zodiac. Unlike that of the West, however, the Eastern system has a cycle of twelve years instead of months. Each year of the cycle has its own particular animal symbol whose roots of meaning, origin, and influence stretch back to ancient India and China. One of the traditional Japanese stories pertaining to this zodiacal system and how it started runs as follows. On a certain New Year's Day, ages ago, Buddha called all the animals of the world to him. He promised that those who came to pay him homage would receive a gift for their fealty. As a mark of honor, they would be given a year which would thereafter be named for them. Of all the animals in the world, only these twelve came, and they came in this order: the rat and the ox, the tiger and the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, and the horse, the sheep and the monkey, the rooster, the dog, and the boar.

Download or read book Gods & Goddesses of Ancient China written by Trenton Campbell and published by Encyclopaedia Britannica. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative volume examines the two main faiths, Confucianism and Daoism, that developed before China had meaningful contact with the rest of the world. Aspects of Buddhism later joined features of these faiths to form elements of Chinese ideology and, with the beliefs in immortals and the worship of ancestors, they led to a popular religion. The narrative describes the gods and goddesses that dominated China's mythology and folk culture, roughly from the 3rd millennium to 221 BCE, including the Baxian (Eight Immortals), Chang'e (moon goddess), Guandi (god of war), the Men Shen (door spirits), and Pan Gu (first man).

Download or read book From Kuan Yin to Chairman Mao written by Xueting Christine Ni and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Luminous and detailed, this is an encyclopedic treasure trove that now renders the gods and goddesses of Eastern lore accessible to the West.” —Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot China is an immense land with a history spanning thousands of years, and its needs and problems are perhaps too many for a single deity to watch over. This book begins to explore the veritable army of gods, immortals, and deities to whom the Chinese have turned for help, support, and intervention—not just in the annals of history but also in the bustling modern world. From Kuan Yin to Chairman Mao offers fascinating insight into the complex interweaving of China’s main religions and folklore and the way the gods themselves have evolved to meet changing challenges, finding their way from scriptures and statues to vouchers and videogames. Author Xueting Christine Ni recounts the stories of sixty Chinese gods and goddesses, selected from across the spectrum of China’s mythical beings, deified heroes, gods, goddesses, and immortals. They derive from Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and folklore, as well as revered sages and protective deities from other traditions. Get to know Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy; Zhong Ku, the demon slayer; Tian Hou, the goddess of the sea; the beloved Monkey King, and a host of other Chinese deities, both ancient and modern. In addition to exploring the origins and rituals of this eclectic pantheon, this book also looks at how, in a country that has undergone a myriad of changes and upheavals, its gods and goddesses have never been more than a whisper away.
