Tea itself is of Chinese origin, so is the use of teapots. However, the invention of teapots came at least 500 years after tea was first made to drink. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) that the first teapots were created.
The most popular teapots in this time were produced in the YiXing region of China. They were made from purple clay, called "zisha clay", and are known to be of fine texture and high quality. It is said that, after using a Yixng tea pot for decades, you can brew tea simply by pouring boiling water into the pot.
In China, teapots have changed little. From their first introduction to the West in the late 1600's, Western teapots have undergone many transformations while Chinese ones have stayed the same. They are a symbol for purity of water and 'love pouring from heaven'.

Living the old Shanghai life
Shanghai, China is a fascinating ultra-modern city. At breathtaking speed it developed from a small port to an international metropolis and paradise for global adventurers. And although the Chinese government restricts the movement of its own people from the countryside to the cities as well as the number of babies a couple is allowed to raise Shanghai keeps growing and growing.
But life in the back alleys of Old Shanghai hasn't changed that much. The residents have not changed much either. You can see the drying clothes outside, little plants in front of the doors, the basins to wash the vegetables but also to do your toilet; in the windows sausages or fish are hanging to dry beside some socks or bras; fine hand made bird cages hang or stand in the windows ... a labyrinth of streets which are stuffed with peoples life.

China's latest craze - Dyeing pets
Just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in China's public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose, and traditional Chinese medicine held that so-called "fragrant meat" from dogs could fortify one's health. Now, eating dog is viewed by many as an embarrassing reminder of a poorer time.
With more money to spend, Chinese pet owners have embraced dog-owning culture with a vengeance. Dogs are brought into restaurants, fussed over in public, dressed up in ridiculous outfits and their coats are dyed. The trend demonstrates how quickly and dramatically attitudes toward pets — particularly dogs — have changed in many parts of Asia.
The special dyes for dogs used are completely non toxic and not harmful to the animals, and this dog is unfazed by its new blue ears.

Wall Mural in Qibao - Shanghai - China
Wall mural paintings, based on the theme of Chinese history and traditional plays, have a long history in dynastic China. The earliest tomb frescos are from the Western Zhou period (11th century-771 BC). The art form advanced remarkably in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220).
Many show honor guards, maidservants, and scenes of chinese feasts and hunts.
The art of wall mural paintings, artistic panoramas of Chinese culture, reached its first peak in terms of style, technique and subject matter in the Tang Dynasty, when China enjoyed national unity, economic prosperity, cultural advancement and increased exposure to foreign cultures.

Qibao - Shanghai's living fossil
Qibao Ancient Town is one of the oldest and most famous towns in China. With two rivers flowing through, Qibao Town enjoys great geographical advantages.
Each of the two waterways has its own special characteristics. Unlike some of the other water towns near Shanghai, these riverfronts tend to have a more relaxed feeling as they aren’t as touristy as the others.
Qibao is more than just a living fossil of ancient Chinese conurbation and urban planning. The old town with its narrow alleyways, arched bridges, and canals is one of the most important historical sites in Shanghai.

Bridge over the Tong - Qibao Water Village China
Located in the Jiang Nan region southwest Shanghai, about eighteen kilometers from downtown, Qibao (7 Treasures) Water Village is a typical waterfront ancient town with the style of the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) Dynasties.
One of Qibao's three arched stone bridges crossing the river Tong is a good starting point to explore Qibao Ancient Town, its Jiangnan architecture (white houses with dark gray roofs) and small bridges and rivers.

Bells of the Orient
The earliest bell so far excavated in China is one which dates to the Longshan culture some five to six thousand years ago and was made of clay. It was unearthed near Xi'an in Shaanxi province. China was also one of the first countries in the world to cast bells made of bronze. The earliest Chinese bronze bells date back at least to the fourteenth century B.C. of the Shang dynasty. The Chinese also invented, developed and perfected tuned bells earlier than anyone else. By at least the 6th century B.C. sets of finely tuned bells were being produced and the Chinese even based their bulk measurements on the musical pitches of bells. From the Tang dynasty (618-906) onward, bell casting flourished and iron was also being used to make them.
China went on to produce a large number of bells. Thousands of bells still survive in China dating from the Tang, the Song (960- 1279), Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
In China bells very rarely have internal clappers but are instead struck on the outside with a mallet or a hammer. They still play an important role as a warning system and to mark certain times of the day as well as in temples (Buddhism and Taoism).

Church of the Assumption of Mary - Qibao Shanghai
The ancient town of Qibao (Seven Treasures), China, is now swallowed up in Shanghai's urban development, but parts of the Qibao area still retain an old world charm.
In a back street the Qibao Catholic Church (Qibao TianzhuJiaolang) is to be found, with a working convent alongside. The church, originally known as the "Church of the Assumption of Mary", was first built in 1869, but the present structure dates from 1896, with the last changes made in 1929.

St Joseph holding Baby Jesus - Catholic Church Qibao China
The Christian faith has survived many difficult times in China. The surprising news is that the Church in China is growing. Chinese Catholic communities are very much alive in spite of all the oppression they have gone through.
However: People worship the same God the world over: Money. China's change from Marxist materialism to free-market consumerism and with it the change of attitudes and values may present the greatest challenge of all to China's Catholic Church.

Jesus is Chinese
After tens of years of research China’s famous scholar Professor Gong Yu Hai put forward a surprising discovery: Jesus is Chinese.
According to Professor Gong Yu Hai an old center empire existed on the earth many thousands of years ago. In this center empire Zhuan Xu was born in 2948 B.C. At the age of 30 Zhuan Xu wnet west to preach. The religion that Zhuan Xu set up is present Christianity. Zhuan Xu is Jesus’ prototype.
However, about A.D. One, fanatic religious reformers recomposed the old content and history of this Christianity doctrine which caused that present people not to know if Jesus really existed.
Professor Gong Yu Hai has published this special Chinese thesis to describe his findings in detail.

The Ten Commandments
Although often called the moral foundation of our society, a moral code of behavior and basic ethical rules, the Ten Commandments, a covenant or arrangement God made with specific people at specific times in history, are instructive but not necessarily imperative for us. They may be reinterpreted for different contexts. Their ethical value must be cautiously explored, not assumed.
The 10 Commandments, found in the 20th chapter of the book of Exodus, only tell us how not to live; they do not tell us how to live. They fail to serve as a "moral guide", a rational code which takes account of man's profound need for values.

Chinese Lions - Luck Prosperity Power Grandeur
When we picture old China dragons and lions come to mind.
Chinese guardian lions, also known as Imperial guardian lions, shishi lions, 'Foo Dogs' and ‘Fu Lions’, are a symbol for luck and prosperity, power and grandeur. However, because lion images have existed for so many years, the meaning of the symbols attached to the animal have grown and changed.
It is said that the Chinese dragon had nine sons, each of whom was endowed with a unique supernatural power. The eighth son was like a lion. One Chinese legend holds that female lions have nipples on the bottoms of their paws which they use to suckle the cub.
Chinese lions, more friendly than fierce, are one of the most popular and permanent examples of Chinese art. They come in pairs to provide a perfect balance of yin and yang - the ideal company for each other, and were introduced into the imagery of Chinese Buddhism as a symbol for the totality of Buddhist law.

Chinese guardian lions, also known as Imperial guardian lions, shishi lions, 'Foo Dogs' and ‘Fu Lions’, are a symbol for luck and prosperity, power and grandeur. However, because lion images have existed for so many years, the meaning of the symbols attached to the animal have grown and changed.
It is said that the Chinese dragon had nine sons, each of whom was endowed with a unique supernatural power. The eighth son was like a lion. One Chinese legend holds that female lions have nipples on the bottoms of their paws which they use to suckle the cub.
Chinese lions, more friendly than fierce, are one of the most popular and permanent examples of Chinese art. They come in pairs to provide a perfect balance of yin and yang - the ideal company for each other, and were introduced into the imagery of Chinese Buddhism as a symbol for the totality of Buddhist law.

The Chinese Jesus
Few people in the West are aware that 500 years before Christ was born, a man lived in China whose teachings are uncannily similar to those of Jesus. His name was Mozi. The Chinese Philosopher may have been a disciple of Confucius. If so, he soon became his opponent.
The teachings of Jesus are very similar to Mozi's ideas.
Jesus may well have been a Jewish scholar who learned of the teachings of Mozi. Was Jesus copying Mozi? We don't know. What we do know is that Moism (Mohism) shares many parallels and similarities with Christianity as it is taught today.

Row of Chinese Rooftops
Roofs are a very important part of Chinese architecture. Rooftops with sweeping slopes ending in upturned, projecting eaves and tiled corners, sometimes in several tiers, are a unique feature to the classical Chinese architecture.
The curve upward is a hydraulic device to throw the water further away fron the building. This a very clever design, but western Architects didn't use this type of device in buildings because it is labor and material intensive.
Chines rooftops, often decorated with ornaments and small sculptures, are beauty and pleasure, a practical thing doing a dull common every day utilitarian task. The magic and the practical, the real and the unreal, are welded together each doing its respective job.

China - Land of Many Faces
Chinese shadow play is the ancient art of shadow puppetry, a form of entertainment using paper puppets whose shadows are projected onto a lit up backdrop to create the appearance of moving images.
The art of creating shadow puppets has a long history in China. According to one historical legend, the emperor Wu was greatly saddened after one of his favorite concubines died. So, several court officials created a puppet with hinged arms and legs using donkey leather and paint. They then lit an oil lamp to display her shadow, bringing her �back to life� to please emperor. The artists used a variety of dazzling colors to make shadow figures and props\' reflection on the illuminated, translucent backdrop screen more magnificent and sparkling. Then the love story was recorded in the book of �The History of the Han Dynasty�, and the Shadow Play began to become quite popular.
Shadow puppet play, also called sheep play and head play, a drama in which silhouettes are projected onto a white screen, first born about 2000 years ago, faces extinction in China. The precursor of modern movies is more and more replaced by TV and cinema. Today, the Chinese Shadow puppet, a profile of a character, as opposed to a 3-dimensional image, is a very popular collector\'s item. Museums in countries all over the world are eager to collect them, and tourists purchase chinese shadow puppets as souvenirs.

Puhuitang River Bridge Qibao - Shanghai China
Over thousand years old Qibao Ancient Town near Shanghai, China, is ancient Chinese styled shopping lanes in between traditional river side houses. The narrow shopping lanes are always hectic and crowded with people snacking away on local specialities. It feels like Qibao is running a fair every day.
The Puhuitang river, which is running across town, brings a tranquil, authentic 'water town charm' over this old town.
If you step out of the crowd and stand on one of the Puhuitang River bridges, you will see the black roofed river side houses with their turn-up eaves mirroring in the water right under you - a scenery that draws me into an ancient water town daydream every time I visit.
