Guan Yin is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit Avalokiteshvara (the lord who looks down on the world with mercy or the bodhisattva of compassion) which comes from Indian Buddhism. He turned female and took on many folk traditions of the indigenous religions/beliefs of China. Guan Yin became so disheartened at the suffering of the world unable to curb it, she shattered herself into nothingness but Amitabha Buddha put her back together with a thousand arms to help/liberate sentient beings of all realms. Sun Wukong is said to be inspired by Hanuman as well.

As a Chinese, I would like to correct that there is something wrong with the album. In Chinese traditional costumes, the collar is right-crossed(交领右衽)， which makes the collar looks like the alphabet "y"(This feature actually influenced other East Asian nation's costumes like Kimono and Hanbok ), but this album obviously reverses it as left-crossed and makes it look like a reversed "y"(as ʎ). The left-crossed collar was once used as burial clothes in Chinese history, but now, it has been abandoned.

For me, I would say there are 4 generations of Chinese gods that are overlaid onto eachother. From the beginning there was the Shangdi (later Heaven) of Shang-Zhou dynasty, and personal ancestor worship. The post-Zhou era gradually solidified into a sort of a more unified creation mythology and pantheon (Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi, Yellow Emperor, etc), in which the nature of ancestor worship changed. You no longer venerate your own ancestor, but the ancestors of powerful leaders (as deities). Around Han dynasty the gods began to take on a more bureaucratic nature, with the Jade Emperor being conflated with Shangdi. The more modern, familiar pantheon came into place around Tang dynasty with ascended mortals (Guanyu, the door gods, the god of wealth, etc.) and dragons being incorporated into the existing mythology.

Emmm, there are quite a few problems. The name of the Jade Emperor in Chinese mythology is too long, but before him, there were kings of gods such as the Haotian God and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi （DongHuangTaiTi） of the Chu Kingdom. gradually they all evolved into a god, and the most popular term among Chinese people is' Heavenly Grandpa （LaoTianYe）'. Xiwangmu and Fuxi Nuwa, among others, were gods from earlier ancient times. The three emperors(Huang) and five emperors（Di） made significant contributions during the tribal period, and later generations have mythologized them. The Chinese mythology cannot be separated from the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas（ShanHaiJing）", and many mythological characters and animals known in it have even influenced other countries in the Chinese cultural circle. For example, the four great mythical beasts are blue dragons, white tigers, red sparrows, and black turtles. Phoenix, various types of dragons, including the nine tailed fox that Japan and South Korea now prefer, many divine beasts and animals come from the Book of Mountains and Seas.

[@rogeramezquita5685]

Interesting how similar they are from Greek and Roman gods

[@holeeshi9959]

due to China being multi-religion, the gods can be roughly divided between Buddhist, Taoist, and Folk religions, and somehow Eastern heaven(Taoist heaven) and Western heaven(Buddhist heaven) exist at the same time also GuanYin is actually NOT a singular diety, but a collection of dieties, GuanYin is actually buddhist in origin, sanskirt Avalokiteshvara, which is "Boddhisatva of mercy", the earliest Guanyin is actually male, but multiple spinoff occurred, and the most well known ones are all female, like the "Guan Shi Yin(World Guan Yin, and probably the greatest of Guan Yin)" that appears in Journey to the West, and the "Thousand Hand Guan Yin" which have a thousand hands.....

[@ZephyrBW]

It so cool to hear about theses other gods. Deity’s are the same thing right so, why another name for it? Also does Buddha count for the Chinese since he was sun’s teacher ?

[@melonseiiLOVE]

Gods in China are of two categories: deities or immortals. Immortals are cultivated (spiritual cultivation is the practice of seeking immortality through learning, meditating and practice of Taoism) and can be anything from plants to animals to humans who have cultivated into immortals as far as I'm aware. Deities are born aspects of their divinity (river gods for example). And then there is a muddled middleground in which something can be understood as both immortal and deity: "Flower fairies", dragons, etc. As for Buddhism: I'd say Guanyin is the most important central figure in Chinese Buddhism, but that has not always been the case and depending on dynasty and location, other saints/deities will be regarded as higher figure, and "Buddha" is only of a title, it refers to someone who has "awakened ones spirit completely". It's also the Indian title. In Chinese it would be "佛"

[@ZephyrBW]

@@melonseiiLOVE So its more of a journey to unlocking your full potential on the path of enlightenment like what buddha did? something that easier said then done. Or they were born/ made into it like the other gods.

[@melonseiiLOVE]

@@ZephyrBW well, immortal cultivation is taoism, it’s kind of the art of prolonging your life through virtuous deeds and self discipline. A little bit how Western heroes strive to ascend to legends through their heroism, but also mixed with the taoist fundamentalist teachings of balance in life. It’s a bit hard to explain but essentially there is multiple ways to become immortal. The first would be accumulating a lot of spiritual power (imagine more like magic and such). From artefacts or from incantations and spells, as well as absorbing other’s spiritual/life force (frowned upon, referred to as demonic cultivation) The second would be meditating and following the taoist teachings, which is said to prolong your life if you follow the path of immortal cultivation (so essentially you prolong your life until you live forever). Mortal heroes may be declared immortals by doing a heroic deed that is highly regarded (best example here is Yang Jian who ascends as the immortal god Erlang Shen for his contributions and deeds in the war against tyrant king Zhou). On the other hand, if a tree grows old enough it might develop a conscience and through further cultivation it can turn humanoid and then ascend. It’s said that spiritual energy is all around us in nature. Also in Chinese language there is a distinction between gods and immortals. “Shen” translates as god but means minor deities and immortals. Everyone with the prefix “tian” (heaven) is regarded as GODS and deities I hope I was able to explain it a bit because it’s hard to translate my thoughts and the cultural meanings from Chinese into English :P

[@melonseiiLOVE]

Oh and to give another example of the tree metaphor: I think Sun Wukong was a rock before he cultivated into a monkey and then into the humanoid monkey. Then following his deeds with the monk Tang Sanzhan he is allowed to become an immortal deity, as are the other companions. So in this case it’s a mix of cultivating until sentient and good deeds to ascend into heaven.

[@ZephyrBW]

Not necessarily. it's similar or seems so because naturals phenomenons are universals just like concepts of justice and love and the fact that humans explain the world around them through their gods.

The gods of Rome and the gods of Greece are another example. The Mayan gods have a monkey deity. The one thing that can not be denied is that they are ALL considered deities. It does not matter where they are from. It matters how the people of their culture view them. Sun Wukong is viewed and considered a deity by many cultures who recognize him, and not just the Chinese culture recognize him. It is okay for you to see him as "propaganda." Like many others, however, I will see him as a deity. That will not change, and this discussion with me will end here. Sorry.
