This document presents a classification system for Chinese cultural values. It begins with reviewing definitions and concepts of culture, focusing on cultural values. It then discusses the influence of Confucianism on Chinese culture and identifies five basic human relationships in Confucian philosophy.

The document provides an overview of early Chinese civilizations including its geography, the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and new philosophies. It describes how China's rivers deposited rich soil and its isolation protected early civilizations. The Shang dynasty established the first Chinese dynasty around 1766 BC and developed writing, bronze work, and ancestor worship. The Zhou dynasty introduced iron technology, which led to population growth and the development of cities, roads, and canals. Conflict during the late Zhou period led to new philosophies like Confucianism, which focused on improving society through traditions, and Daoism, which emphasized retreating from laws and living in harmony with nature.
Zhang Huan's sculpture "Pilgrimage" depicts his nude body half submerged in water. This reenacts his performance art piece where he laid on a block of ice for ten minutes. The sculpture symbolizes the suffering of Chinese peasants throughout history under persecution. Peasants endured hardship during times like the Cultural Revolution, finding solace in Buddhism which taught bonding with nature could provide salvation. Huan's work conveys these struggles that trace back to Buddhism's introduction to China via the Silk Road in the 2nd century AD, which flourished until later persecutions.
1) China's national flag was adopted in 1949 and features a large red star symbolizing the Communist Party surrounded by smaller stars representing the Chinese people.

Education was conducted through the gurukul system, where students lived with their teacher away from cities. Learning focused on religious texts and skills like mathematics. Over time, more scriptures were composed and larger educational institutions emerged while the gurukul system remained.

Confucianism and Daoism were the dominant philosophies in classical Chinese society.

Transgenderism Throughout Southeast Asian Historymrace89
This article analyzes the historical presence and changing social status of transgender communities in Southeast Asia.

However, the establishment of Buddhism in China triggered religious and commercial exchanges between India and China in the first six centuries CE, when both had achieved cultural sophistication and influence in Asia.

Guang, Xing. “Buddhist Impact on Chinese Culture.” Asian Philosophy 23, no. 4 (2013): 305–22. Accessed September 4, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1080/09552367.2013.831606
According to Xing Guang, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism are the three major philosophical systems in Chinese traditional culture. The first two are aspects of Chinese culture, while Buddhism is an Indian religion. Despite disagreements between the three systems of thought, integration has become the norm in the evolution of Chinese cultural thought. As a result, Chinese culture has changed and developed with Confucianism at its core and Daoism and Buddhism supporting it by merging the three religions into one. Buddhism introduced new concepts and thought to China, encouraging, among other things, the development of Chinese philosophy, ethics, dialect, poetry, arts, faiths, and common belief. However, Buddhism is not a culturally confined religion. It incorporates and adapts local culture and philosophy. Arthur Wright has already compiled a historical overview of Buddhism's history in China and its four eras of cultural engagement with Chinese culture.
Buddhism, like other religions, has a liberal mindset and embraces whatever is good. Because of this mentality, The Buddha advised his lay followers to contribute to the local gods, an essential component of the culture. This method of thought has had a profound effect on Buddhists and has vast consequences for spreading Buddhism to other cultures. As a result, Whenever Buddhism has been transmitted, it has incorporated local cultures. Rather than causing conflict with them. As a result, when it arrived in China, it became Chinese Buddhism with Chinese cultural characteristics and color, as Buddhism assimilated numerous Chinese cultural aspects.
Hanguang, Zhou. “The Positive Influence of BUDDHISM upon the Development of Science and Technology in Ancient China.” Philosophy Study 9, no. 4 (April 28, 2019): 217–22. Accessed September 4, 2021. https://doi.org/10.17265/2159-5313/2019.04.005
Zhou Hanguang disagrees with Joseph Needham's assessment that "overall, its influence was highly inhibiting" and believes Buddhism has made a constructive contribution and significantly impacted the development of science and technology in ancient China. Since the arrival of Buddhism in China, only Great Vehicle books and thoughts have spread widely and exerted a profound influence in large areas of the country (except minority nationalities in Southwest China). According to early Little Vehicle theory, Buddhism had a tradition that kept it separate from secular society. When such a tradition emerged and became actively involved in secular society's everyday affairs, it was criticized by ...

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
