I am a local Shanghainese, staying with my hometown for 30 years. My overriding impression of Shanghai is the Dramatic Life Changes since the reform& opening-up. I am always curious about how Shanghai be the Shanghai like today. So i started my research these years,visiting other big cities to find the similarity, like Tokyo/Paris/Copenhagen/Sydney/Vancouver, searching the Shanghai’s history recorded in literature by the authors from all over the world, chating with the old generations in family for past memory. If you have dozens of question of Shanghai , I’m willing to answer the call!
Asian Philosophy is full of mystery and spiritual energy. Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism are the most popular values during the ancient ages in China’s history, which affected not only the people’s common life but also the political ideology.
Nowadays China, people are much diversified and we see less footprint of this ancient philosophy in the city. Especially in Shanghai, we get used to the urbanization and modernity of the city. But if you look in deep, you could find another face of the city which still keeps the Chinese tradition and antique style.
Why not feel Chinese philosophy/religion through a Temple Walk? Let me guide you to Taoism, Buddhism at one time. Let’s share and discuss!!
On this tour, I will give you some insights and basic knowledge. But note that I am not a professional, I’d like to share my opinion more than educate.
The sharing is basically about:
