This report examines different experiences of ancestor worship held by members of a younger and older generation living in Shanghai. The information used in this report has been gathered from Shanghainese and non-Shanghainese people interviewed in Shanghai. The participants were chosen based on what political era in China they grew up in. The goal of this research was to determine whether or not different generations of Chinese people held different beliefs towards ancestor worship or practiced ancestor worship differently in modern day Shanghai, and the extent of these possible differences. Over eighteen interviews, differences and disparities within ancestor worship practices became evident. Most notable were the distinct reasons as to why each generation viewed ancestor worship as valuable; while older people recognized the benefits of ancestor worship in promoting filial piety, the younger generation saw the practice as an expression of traditional Chinese culture. Results also showed that older participants mentioned a wider variety of types of offerings in comparison to those mentioned by the younger participants. There are many individual and generational disparities in the offerings and attitudes towards ancestor worship. What remains constant between generations is the participation in worship activities during significant Chinese festivals, the recognition of value of ancestor worship, the desire to teach ancestor worship to the next generation, the proportion of each generation that view ancestor worship as a superstition, the proportion that does not view ancestor worship as superstition, and the desire to make practices of ancestor worship less harmful to the environment.

Confucius (551-479 BC) is considered to be a great philosopher and educator in Chinese society and one of the greatest scholars ever in world history. He was the founder of Confucianism, which constitutes a major part of traditional Chinese culture and made tremendous contribution to the unfolding of Chinese civilization over the centuries. In this study, the authors have presented a comprehensive outline of Confucianism and have attempted to gauge the attitude of contemporary Chinese people towards Confucian concepts, values and attributes as well as their influences on the social lives of present-day Chinese population. The Likert Scale was applied in the study to assess the attitude of the Chinese educated class belonging to the educational institutions like the universities in Beijing towards Confucianism. It was found from the survey that the Confucian concepts still wield substantial influence on the social outlook of the modern-day Chinese people and these attributes are still relevant in the day to day lives of the Chinese society.

Everyone knows that phraseological units are the most popular genre of oral folk art, which was formed as a result of life observations of the ancestors. Learning and analyzing Chinese phraseology allow us to better understand the inner world of the Chinese nation. This article reveals and semantically analyzes aspects of the word “head” that are closely related to Chinese culture. The worldview, deep logical thoughts, feelings, superstitions, lifestyle and environment of the Chinese people are described in phraseological expressions in a concise and clear form. This article discusses the semantics and features of Chinese-language phraseological phrases associated with the word “head”. Chinese-language phrases associated with “head” express meanings such as wisdom and ignorance, process of thinking, cunning,sagacity, and planning. Phraseological units in Chinese linguistics are closely related to practical life and determine such features as philosophical and ideological thinking, logical observation. Taking into account the above, the article provides a comparative analysis of phraseological units related to “head” in Chinese and Uzbek languages. The figurative meanings of the word “head” are being revealed, semantic connections and semantic structure of phrases in the sentence are in the process of learning. Chinese phraseological expressions are poorly studied in Uzbek-Chinese studies. We hope that this work will provide practical assistance to our young people who are learning Chinese.

The Relationship

In this paper, we explore, name, and unpack the possibilities that printmaking, as an art form, holds in visual narrative inquiry. We also explore the relationship between visual narrative inquiry and narrative inquiry, a relational qualitative research methodology that attends to experiences. Drawing on two different ongoing narrative inquiry studies, where we engage with either trans young adults or refugee families from Syria with pre-school children, we explore how printmaking practices facilitate processes of inquiry. The etymology of the word “frame” helps us understand framing as a process that is future oriented and reflects a sense of doing, making, or preforming. In this way, framing allows us to see otherwise, to respond to and with participants, and to engage with experiences in ways that open new possibilities of inquiry.
