Old Shanghai

So we went to the only Confucius temple in Shangahi. It was almost completely destroyed during the "cultural revolution" but has since been rebuilt.

We also went to a Buddhist temple. One thing I learned about Chinese style Buddhisms is that when when Buddhisms was first introduced to the Chinese they rejected it because they thought it discriminated against women. It was only after they introduced female incarnates of Buddha that the religion was accepted.
