	The Origin of Chinese Deities China is a country with a long history and rich resources of national culture. China's ancient history is the root of modern Chinese culture. It is audible visible and touchable. Through the ages, unique traditions have exerted an influence on the Chinese people's thinking and behaviour. Stories about gods, ghosts, fairies and spirits have merged in the course of social progress. This shows that China had developed its own national tradition in creating gods since ancient times. With abundant historical material and exhaustive studies over many years, the author provides a vivid and interesting account of the twenty-nine widely known and revered gods who influenced the lives of the Chinese people for many centuries. They include the Bodhisattva Guanyin, a goddess who helps the needy and relieves the distressed: Kitchen God, who is in charge of blessing the mortal King of Hell, sovereign of the ghost world: Jade Emperor, the highest ruler in heaven; and Jiang Taigong, who is responsible for granting titles to gods. Why and how are they enshrined and worshipped by the masses even by the rulers? This book gives the answers scientifically and objectively, thus presenting one aspect of the Chinese popular culture. This is helpful in the understanding of people's religious beliefs, and of archaeology, history, sociology, psychology, and folk literature.  Price:   £9.99 Tell a friend To tell some one else about this, enter their email address and click OK:

	Tiantan Temple of Heaven Located in the southeast of Beijing, Tiantan is where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped heaven and prayed for a good harvest. It is the largest existing temple Structure in China and is known far and wide for four sites: 1. Qiniandian; 2. Huiyinbi (echo Wall); 3. Sanyinshi; 4. Huanqiutan. Its exquisite design, skilful architecture and unique style are rarely found in ancient world buildings, making it a must for visitors to Beijing. Tiantan was built in the 4th through the 18th years during the reign of emperor Yongle of the Ming dynasty. In the early period of the temple, because heaven and earth were worshipped together, it was called Temple of Heaven and Earth. In 1530, another structure Fangze (the Temple of Earth) was built on the northern outskirts of Beijing for the worship of earth and since then, heaven and earth were worshipped separately. The original Temple of Heaven and Earth was used exclusively for the worship of heaven, so it was renamed the Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven covers 273 hectares. The structures were laid about in the shape of the character and the temple wall was divided into inner and outer parts. The outer altar wall is 6,416 metres long. Originally there was only a western gate, through which the emperor went in and out to worship and the current east, west, south and north gates were later opened. The inner alter wall is 3,292 metres long and set up with east, west, south and north gates. The main buildings of the Temple of Heaven are concentrated in the south and north axis of the inner altar and are connected by the Danbi Bridge. From south to north are Huanqiutan, Huanggongyu, Qiniandian and Huangqiandian. There is a Zhaigong in the west of the temple, a Divine Kitchen and a Butcher Pavilion in the east: an Echo Wall. a linked area of 72 rooms and Qixingshi and other structures and scenic spots. This picture album consists of three parts. For the readers' convenience, we begin with the Fasting Palace where the emperor worshipped heaven, then proceed to introduce Qiniandian and Huanqiutan, interspersed with some interesting legends and anecdotes. The picture album is laced with elegant pictures and concise language and, at the same time, easy to read.
