the future
A shaman touched a tortoise shell or oracle bone with the heated point of a stick, and the shell or bone would crack. The cracks would contain a message from the spirit world which the shaman would interpret.

Chinese worldview came from Chinese Cosmology
Heaven and Earth are fundamentally life-giving Everything in life is relational – heaven and earth, night and day, male and female Harmony basically prevails among the parts of the cosmos. Each part works for the good of the whole and yields to the next at the right time. The capacity of humans to give life is an awesome thing and for the Chinese the gift of life at birth was the most fabulous gift parents give to their children. For that children must honor, perhaps even worship, parents for their entire lives

Imposing Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China winds through the countryside northwest of Beijing. The wall was originally a series of fortifications that were joined together in the 3rd century BC. Hundreds of thousands of workers labored for more than a decade to construct the stone and masonry ramparts, whose wide expanses were used as a transportation route as well as for defense. Over the centuries the wall has been rebuilt and restored. Today, it is regarded as one of the great wonders of the world and is reportedly the only human-built structure visible from space.

Chinese, even today, value martial arts as a way to achieve a balance between body and emotions. Performance and style is an outward expression which must be in balance with the inner spirituality of Kung Fu achieved through meditation. In 1981 the movie Shaolin Temple with Jet Lee was a blockbuster which renewed interest in martial arts and caused young men to flock to the temple prompting a rebirth of the temple in modern times.

Beijing’s Imperial Palace A collection of 800 buildings makes up the Imperial Palace in Beijing’s Forbidden City. Once home to two dynasties of Chinese emperors, the Ming and the Qing, the palace is now a museum. The original structure was built in the 15th century, but it burned down numerous times and had to be repeatedly restored and rebuilt. Most of the palace buildings standing today date from the late 18th or early 19th centuries.
