QUOTE(nachtsider @ Dec 1 2015, 12:38 AM) I'm assuming you are referring to whomever created the universe. What more can you say about this entity?The original progenitor. As per Chinese folk religion, he has long since departed for places unknown, leaving the management of his creation to the various gods and goddesses who are his subordinates. He is more or less irrelevant now.  As recent as the Qing Dynasty, Shangdi was worshipped by the emperor at the Temple of Heaven.....and the Qing Dynasty lasted for about 300 years with the Mandate of Heaven so.....the departure shouldn't be to far back. no? Can a kedai sembahyang cina make a 神位 for shangdi? This post has been edited by feynman: Dec 1 2015, 08:18 PM |
