Lol no. I'm not a muslim. I just confuse, because in Indonesia, Confusius is considered as religion; yet as far as I know, he's a kind of teacher / philosopher. 我是華人

LOL, Confucianism is not a religion. Daoism is the religion!

So you are Chinese Indonesian, are you a fallen Chinese, a Christian?

I can understand if many Chinese don't know anything about their own culture, since it kind of a bit of censorship and twisted for the sake of Christian rulers and elites during KMT period, as well as Communist.

Not to mention the degradation issue among people who live in overseas, like Chinese Indonesian.


Even our Christian founding father, Sun Zhongshan Xiansheng, don't know anything about Chinese culture nor Chinese methodology. He even can't speak mandarin, but English and Japanese very well.

As well as Mao Zedong, the man who hugely worshiped in the mainland right now.

So you can imagine we are ruled by people like this. Our modern country foundation established by ignorant and hostile people like this.

What a great luck!

Well, that's true. Daoism is a naturalist philosophy , it is considered religion by some. But what i admire about its theological tenets is that it espouses a cosmic order. That is the beauty I admire about most native East Asian philosophies is that there is always a revolving theme of order, a cosmic harmony.

In thai chinese, some of them have 祠堂 for the ancestors. My relatives in china said their 祠堂 were destroyed during culture revolution but now they have rebuilt祠堂 for ancestors. Chinese people have a festival-qingming festival to memorize the ancetors(it's leagal holiday in mainland /HK and taiwan)

What I admire about Thai culture is that Thai people have knowledge of spirits, people in Thailand even put spirit houses, right? I think it is called San phra phum. In Japanese Shintoism , there is also belief that there are spirits (kami) everywhere in nature. Shinto shrines commemorates that. I'm glad to know that your relatives were able to rebuild it. You visit there ever ?
