The head of camel, the eyes of a demon, the ears of a cow, the horns of a stag, the neck of a snake, it's belly a clam's, it's claws that of an eagle, while the soles of his feet are that of a tiger, and the 117 scales that cover it's body are that of a carp.

Haw Par Villa Land of Ancient Chinese Mythology Just a 20 minute ride from the bustling crowds of Orchard Road, you will lunge into the grounds of Haw Par Villa. Established in 1937 as one of the 3 private residences of the Aw brothers and taking 2 years to build the original site, this historic landmark is now one of the most scenic sites in Singapore. The Aw brothers, Aw Boon Haw (Tiger) and Aw Boon Par (Leopard) became famous and world famous, for their ointment called Tiger Balm (this balm is NOT made of tigers...I should know. They still make it in Singapore and we SURE don't have tigers here) Being so rich, they originally built seven pagoda-like structures on the grounds and was originally called Tiger Balm Gardens. The grounds were furnished with statues depicting ancient mythological creatures and stories from Ancient China, many of which still stand on the now named, Haw Par Villa. However, a lot has changed since the days of the Aw brothers. Previously, The Tiger Balm Gardens was opened to the public for free and many families took their picnics there. Many snake-charmers were found along the road up the small hill to the gardens, playing their flutes to draw their cobras (yes, COBRAS!!!) from their cane baskets. Since the turn of the economic recession in 1985, the gardens grounds were reclaimed and are now opened to the public for a hefty fee. Snake charmers no longer line the small road and the grounds now have attendents and guards.

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Chinese Mythology page: Until the 1980s, it was not uncommon for members of the Chinese community in Hong Kong to proclaim their opposition to the decriminalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults. They stated that homosexuality does not exist in China; and if it does, it is the result of decadent Westerners introducing such vices to our innocent people. This idea is popular in China even today. In reality, however, China has a long, continuous gay history and a large collection of gay documents. Chinese mythology, in particular, is rich in stories about homosexuality. Sponsor Message. Religions and Homosexuality in China The Chinese conception of sexuality is influenced by its aboriginal religions, especially Taoism and Confucianism. Later, Buddhism, which was introduced into China in the Han dynasty (206 B.C.E.-220 C.E.), and Christianity, which was introduced formally to the general public and literary circles during the Ming dynasty (1368 C.E.-1644 C.E.), also influenced Chinese attitudes toward sexuality and sexual morality. While Christian homophobic attitudes do significantly influence modern China, Chinese mythological stories reflect ancient Chinese views toward homosexuality. Such views were mainly influenced by ancient religions, including the worship of animals and nature, Buddhism, Taoism, and, to a certain degree, Confucianism.

After several rounds of beating with bamboo stakes, he confessed that he was attracted to the official. When the official knew the reason, he was so angry that he ordered more punishment and Wu died under heavy torture. After Wu's death, he told his friend in a dream that "even though it was improper to peep at a man, it was done only because of love and should not have been punished with death. Now the court officials in the nether world have assigned me as Rabbit God to safeguard loving affairs between men, and you should build a temple for me." Sponsor Message. The friend built the temple. When there were quarrels between gay couples or when someone suffered for gay love, they went to this temple to worship the Rabbit God, Wu Tien Bao, and they were usually aided by the Rabbit God in their quests. This story may have inspired the construction of temples to the Rabbit God, though none have been precisely identified. There was, however, a temple in Southern China called "Double Flowers Temple," where a deceased gay couple was worshipped by the general public. The temple was destroyed by the Japanese army during the World War II and no longer exists.
