| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - After the flood After several months, water began to subside, and the Ark came to rest on "the mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4). That statement is more ambiguous than the question "where in those mountains?" would suggest, and some hoaxes and misconceptions involve these ambiguities. After waiting another forty days, Noah sent forth a dove to see if there was dry land for it to land on, but it returned. He waited seven more days, and sent it again, and it returned with an olive leaf. After another week, he sent it out yet again, but this time it did not return. He knew then that the time had come to disembark -- a year an ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Theology The Biblical account asserts that God sent the flood because mankind had become completely corrupt, and the heart of mankind was full of sin, so God regretted having made mankind, and decided to wipe it out, saving only Noah and his household, because he found Noah to be a just and righteous man. (Genesis 6:6). This raises a number of theological issues regarding the nature of God.
Critics of the story find the idea of an all-good, all-powerful God destroying humanity and all other life on the planet (except Noah, his family and the animals on the Ark of course), simply because He was displeased with them, highly qu ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Modern searches The most popular locations for searches are somewhere in the mountains of Ararat (Ağrı Dağı in Turkish) and most specifically Mount Judi (Cudi Dağı in Turkish) in the Ararat range in eastern Turkey.
In 1840, a large earthquake struck Eastern Turkey. Some who climbed Ararat to build emergency baracades against the snow reported to have seen a strange boat-like object up the peak. In 1876, an English explorer named James Bryce climbed the mountain and found a five foot slab of hand-hewn timber at a summit where no trees had grown. The sample deteriorated into splin ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Modern allusions In Western culture, the image of Noah's Ark with its many animals has taken on the symbolism of the effort to preserve wildlife.
In 1976, a movie called In Search Of Noah's Ark was released. It was based on a book by Charles Balsiger and David Sellier documenting accounts of those who claimed to have seen the Ark. One of the most detailed came from an Armenian named George Hagopian. Shortly before his death in 1972, Hagopian gave a detailed account of how as a child he climbed to the top of Noah's Ark. He said that in 19 ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The ark According to Genesis, the Ark was built of a mysterious "gopher wood". It has been suggested that it is related to the Hebrew word kopher (pitch), or was at one time kopher but miscopied. If so, it would mean that the Ark was made of wood of a specific tree (that is now unknown) and treated with pitch. The 'resinous wood' prescribed in Genesis 6:14 is thought by some to be cypress or a similar tree. In Noah's part of the world, what is today called cypress was in abundant supply; it was particularly favored for shipbuild ...

In contemporary Chinese language and culture, several terms or root words are used for the concept of "love":
Ai (愛) is used as a verb (e.g. Wo ai ni, "I love you") or as a noun, especially in aiqing (愛情), "love" or "romance."

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The flood The Genesis narrative states that on the seventeenth day of the second month of the 600th year of Noah's life, the "fountains of the great deep" and "windows of heaven" broke open, bringing on the deluge -- both from 40 days of rain and a subterranean water source.
Genesis gives a specific timeline for the flood. The flood was sent in the 600th year of Noah's life. Then “the floodgates of the heavens were opened” (Genesis 7:11, 16). An incessant torrential downpour followed for “forty days and forty nights”; “the waters cont ...

| | | | | ancient Chinese: Encyclopedia II - Homosexuality in China - Traditional views towards homosexuality in China's society All major religions in ancient China do have some sort of codex, which have traditionally been interpreted as being against exclusive homosexuality when it interferes with continuation of the family lineage. For example the Confucians has the codex that a man should behave according to somewhat traditional male gender roles and a woman likewise. So, for example, crossdressing is a deed that is against the Confucian natural law.
There were some historical accounts of emperors who used to dress themselves in women's clothes, and this wa ...

Japanese poetry - Waka in the life of Kuge.
In ancient times, it was a custom to exchange waka instead of letters in prose. Sometimes improvised waka were used in daily conversation in high society. In particular, the exchange of waka was common between lovers. Reflecting this custom, five of the twenty volumes of the Kokin Wakashu (or Kokinshu) gathered waka for love. In the Heian period the lovers would exchange waka in the morning when lovers parted at the woman's home. The exchanged waka were ca ...
