Young children are capable of observing, making inferences and justifying deductions. Yet these skills are rarely made use of in the History class. Children are given information regarding the sources of history without being encouraged to learn through discovery. Some natural questions that children can ask while looking at sources are “How was it made”? “How was it used?”, “How old is it?” etc. These questions lead to deeper questions like “What do we know for certain?”, “What reasonable guesses can we make, based on what evidence?” While using available sources to construct their own accounts of the past, children also learn that accounts may differ because evidence is incomplete. Through this presentation, an attempt has been made to introduce the process of historical enquiry in children, encouraging them to examine sources, question inferences and assumptions, construct their own history and above all, trigger curiosity.

An introduction to Chinese Culture - MeetMandarinMeetMandarin
Understanding Chinese culture will help you better learn Chinese language. In this presentation, we take tour to a brief introduction of Chinese culture!
A Proposed Principalia Theory of Austronesian Inter MigrationTotiDulay
This theory which basically says that the homeland of the Austronesian people is the Philippines was put forward by the Principalia Hereditary Council of the Philippines and was presented at the e-Baybayin Zoom Lecture Series 2020 and shared at the FB Live on May 30, 2020.
The Philosophical Demotion of the Sacred Feminine Form in Classical Art Atyeb Atum RE
This presentation is an exploration of how the Greek classical arts and its mythology appropriated the feminine intuitive abilities from the sacred universal Mother Goddess and her daughters, both in the heavens and here on Earth. It charts how the patriarchal system became an institution that still plagues Humanity today with its Male Dominated ideologies adopted from many Greek philosophers and how they viewed women.
2. “It is time for this heroine’s Asian identity to be
recognized and the evocative story motifs
understood in their Asian contexts”
(Beauchamp 1)
What was the culture of
Yeh-Shen, also known as
Yexian?
3. Ch’in and Han
dynasties: 221 B.C.E.-
220 C.E.
Saw the end of
feudalism and the
development of the
imperial system
Focused on the practice
of rites and ceremonies
for the spirits
First Cinderella story
written down in 950
A.D. but set during this
time period
4. Children were sometimes used as slaves
“Polygamy was practiced among the Zhuang
[ancient Chinese people] in the late Tang Dynasty,
and children were supposed to be treated equally”
(Beauchamp 14).
Women enjoyed high status because of their
ability to weave.
Freedom came with this status; they could pick
their own husband!
5. According to Beauchamp, “Yexian’s father was a
leader to his group, the family appears
marginalized economically, and Yexian’s menial
work seems a harsh extension of a child’s
workload” and then, “the story rewards Yexian by
making her the first wife of a king, but it seems
ambivalent about the founding of a divinely
sanctioned royal line, and it does not value
hierarchy, obedience, and duty” (472).
6. “Tuohan was an island country that sent
embassies to Tang China in 645 and 648”
(Jameson 1932:77-78).
The island could be modern day Sumatra.

Note how far it is from
mainland China!
7. Fish have long been
symbols of “abundance
and wealth” in the
Chinese culture
The fish in the story is
believed to be a red carp
with golden eyes.
8. In a specific area of China, there are literally
thousands of caves!
“inscriptions in the caves date from the Tang
Dynasty” (Beauchamp 456).
Some scholars believe that “cave” in Chinese
could simply mean a “sheltered location” (456).
9. Many of the Chinese subcultures had
festivals where young men and women
would mingle to find their mates…
10. Some researchers believe this
being symbolizes ancestor
worship
He could also represent either
the dead father or the dead
mother
His long hair? Symbol of a
WITCH! (Beauchamp 456)
Can also be seen as a guardian
figure
11. “Chinese pavilions are
covered structures
without surrounding
walls and are a
traditional part of
Chinese architecture” (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_).

dynasty (25–220), 1st–early 3rd century

12. “Foot binding was seen as a
sign of beauty and
attractiveness” (Mao).
“also a symbol of identity
and virtue” (Mao).
Small feet were considered
beautiful.

13. “Kingfishers are native
to watery Southwest
China, including the
Nanning area, and
to Southeast Asia,
where they were
hunted in Cambodia
to supply a Chinese
market with feathers
for jewelry”
(Beauchamp 457).

14. How can a shoe with soles of solid gold enable her to
walk “lighter than air”?
◦ The answer: TRANSLATION ISSUES! The shoes were
most likely embroidered with gold colored silk
threads on the soles and heels.
15. Questions to think about:
◦How big of a role does the culture
play in this story?
◦How could the story change for
other cultures based on your
understanding of cultural elements?
