last time those outside China raining how ah? No umbrella then wun get flu meh?Originally posted by Honeybunz:I think Chinese's invention of that, paper and umbrella are the most impt invention to the human race. -
Stay under a shelter or get drenched lor. Or use leaves, I think.Originally posted by Icemoon:last time those outside China raining how ah? No umbrella then wun get flu meh?
Last time they only have Ting Zi (Sheltered Stops) that provided shelter from sun or rain. If I'm not wrong, the invention of umbrella was partly based on the structure of Ting Zi. It's amazing that the inventor could come up with a design like that. Till today, we are still using that, though of different materials. -
But before the Chinese invented paper, the Egyptians had their papyrus scrolls (made from some Nile reeds). The Chinese were still using their heavy bamboo blocks at that time. Am I right?Originally posted by Honeybunz:Ya, that's the one. I think Chinese's invention of that, paper and umbrella are the most impt invention to the human race.

Actually even though Cai Lun invented paper during the Han Dynasty, we still see officials using the bamboo blocks during Three Kingdoms. You all watched the drama right? Still using bamboo blocks siah .. lolOriginally posted by iveco:But before the Chinese invented paper, the Egyptians had their papyrus scrolls (made from some Nile reeds).

The 4 greatest invention in ChinaOriginally posted by Honeybunz:Ya, that's the one. I think Chinese's invention of that, paper and umbrella are the most impt invention to the human race.
Paper - That's how Bible got printed
Printing - Yah, same as above
Gunpowder - That how the European managed to colonise this part of the earth and brought their religion along
Compass - Without navigation, they can't aim their cannon (from gunpowder) at us.
Maybe the Chinese are god chosen people... -
Do you know the difference between San Guo Zhi and San Guo Yan Yi?Originally posted by Icemoon:haha .. what's so funny? I was referring to san guo yan yi on tv mah. -
To be chosen carries with it the extra baggae. This is not fun.Originally posted by earthlings73:Maybe the Chinese are god chosen people...
Actually, God and biblical figures left their marks in various cultures:
1. the worldwide flood. Enuff said. Even ah heng was intrigued.
2. the depiction of Fu Xi - this guy can be considered the Adam of chinese civilization. Do you realize how he is depicted in paintings and symbols? I leave you to find out.
3. pyramids in many cultures. Even the tomb of Qin Shihuang looks like a pyramid. The whole of li-shan (where he is supposedly buried) is like a pyramid! The pyramid symbolises mankind yearn for the afterlife, heaven, whatever lah (think of the Egyptians and Qin Shihuang). We find this in the bible too - the tower of babel! Maybe God confused the people and their descendants knew the art of pyramid building from the very first prototype - tower of babel.
Some of you may think this is bullshit. Maybe aliens did it. -
so all this can be linked, without doubt, to god, or rather, to god as depicted in the bibles?Originally posted by Icemoon:To be chosen carries with it the extra baggae. This is not fun.

I suppose we need to see the whole thing in a framework. Does it make sense from the Christian point of view?Originally posted by laurence82:so all this can be linked, without doubt, to god, or rather, to god as depicted in the bibles?
The more we research, the more we find it intriguing. I find the Fu Xi one quite original. -
No no that wasnt what i meantOriginally posted by Icemoon:I suppose we need to see the whole thing in a framework. Does it make sense from the Christian point of view?

Once, sumone posted and hinted that Shang Di depicted in Chinese folklore is actually god as depicted in christianity
Even tho there may be biblical accounts of floods, Fu Xi and so on..does this mean we must readily accept the bibles hold supremacy over other faiths scriptures and that we must accept the rest of the bibles? -
Afterall, Christianity is a Jewish issue, and we are not god chosen people. Why the hell would i want to believe in it.
Sorry to say, christianity is a localised religion, whateevr way people choose to interprete the bible so that they can spread to other people... -
ooo some trivia.... i've actually visited that temple that was used to worship Shang Di on 1 of my research trips. The place was massive!Originally posted by laurence82:No no that wasnt what i meant

it makes a good cultural visit if not for anything else... it's slightly off to the western part of Beijing for those interested -

They don't spend too much time on religion that's why they are smarterOriginally posted by Honeybunz:I notice a lot of famous ppl and scientists are Jews.
Why do they seem to be much smarter than most of the world, though there is such a small number of them?
Is it because they are the chosen ppl of God? That's why they are blessed with wisdom?
They spend most of their time doing research

The real tomb has not been unearthed. Should be still under Li-Shan.Originally posted by maggot:The real tomb of Qin Shihuang is not yet founded...too many fakes tombs have been discovered -
Correct to some extent. They (meaning famous Jews) are not very religious. Marx was obviously not religious. Freud religious meh? Don't think so ..Originally posted by maggot:They don't spend too much time on religion that's why they are smarter
They spend most of their time doing research
Even Einstein wasn't religious. He said, "I believe in Spinoza's God". -
The bible is not supreme. They (bible and other faith scriptures) point towards the same God. Whether it is flood in bible or flood in babylonian, chinese etc. accounts, they point to the same flood.Originally posted by laurence82:No no that wasnt what i meant

Accept the rest .. hmm .. wait and see lor .. if the bible is real as claimed by believers, then it will stand the test of time. -
test of time? time is running out!Originally posted by Icemoon:The bible is not supreme. They (bible and other faith scriptures) point towards the same God. Whether it is flood in bible or flood in babylonian, chinese etc. accounts, they point to the same flood.

Do u mean Temple of Heaven?Originally posted by ben1xy:ooo some trivia.... i've actually visited that temple that was used to worship Shang Di on 1 of my research trips. The place was massive!

I cant rem whether its used to worship Shang Di, coz i know by the times it built, i think during Ming Dynasty, Shang Di wasnt that popular already... -
