·         “Frederick Mote has suggested that the Chinese may be

"unique in having no creation myth," and Mote reminds us of Hu
Shih's observation "that centuries of Christian missionaries had
been frustrated  and chagrined by the apparent inability of Chinese
to take sin seriously. For in the Chinese, organically conceived
world; there can be no parts wrongfully present... The question of
man's  immortality in a future that "really counts" -- if he is
lucky enough or good enough to transcend the material present
reality -- does not even arise. This being true  in the Great
Tradition, countertendencies in the popular religion in China's
highly congruent culture were correspondingly weakened.
   Yet there are creation myths as part of a rich cosmogeny. Some
illustrations demonstrate how they fit into the pattern of creation

myths developed in other worldviews.” Chinese Worldview Expressions www.albany.edu/faculty/lr618/chin.html

·         Confucius Hits Prime Time (1.4 / 334) by Chun Juan

A Beijing professor has caused a stir with her popular televised lectures on the teachings of Confucius. Many praise her saying that popularizing Chinese classics helps people appreciate the richness of China's intellectual heritage. Some, however, condemn her interpretations for a lack of depth and accuracy.
