Wow, I'm more-than impressed with the
Shangdi section (Zues in Chinese mythology)! I think the Chinese Zevists will appreciate it (THEY BETTER). An expansive section on Zues' Asian mythologies, as well as others, was much-needed and very thoughtful of
@Karnonnos [TG] which also defeats that notion that ToZ is "racist" or "pro-White only". I also really enjoyed the inclusion of native Chinese and Japanese translations for the names, and quite frankly, I felt like I was reading an article posted by a Taoist master! It encourages me continue promoting Asian Zevism, still thinking of a good name......Temple of Shangdi, Temple of the Jade Emperor to name a few....
The overwhelming majority, and even the source books in the article is consistent with the research I've done and saved me lots of headaches having to search for copies of historical Chinese texts, just before I came to this post I was on Amazon looking for good copies of Chinese records on the Shen or Di, or Gods, but the article helped clarify the allegories as I had a hard time deciphering what in Chinese mythology were allegories, esoteric, exoteric and etc. I'm still not good at detecting allegory vs. literal.
The mention of the Chinese emperors and their rituals to the Shangdi/Huangdi/Tian, well as the Temple of Heaven confirmed my earliest suspicions about the imperial dynastic era of China, they were indeed, no less closer to Zeus/Jupiter/Satan than per say, the Greeks and Romans, as Chinese civilization is often referred to as the "Greece" of Asia, not my mere opinion either as I learned this from a college class I took on East Asian history.
I really appreciate the mention of this symbol:
When I first researched the "Shangdi" back in May of 2023, I had a gut feeling these symbols bore significance to Zevism (or "Satanism" as we referred to it then), couldn't pin-point the exact significance as I was just beginning my journey.
I can't help but notice that these other variants bear some resemblance to the Kronus sigil:
Another very noteworthy mention, I feel this would go good in the "Tengri" section is Manchurian Shamanism, as the Manchurians come from the same sub-race as the Mongolians, Turks and Central Asians:
I made a comment in another post mentioning the similarities between ancient Manchu religion, and that of Tengrism of the Turco-Mongols, after all, the Manchus and Turco-Mongols are of the same Asiatic sub-race. Mind-you, the Manchus, are the sub-race that brought about the Qing dynasty, China's...

It's essentially just Tengrism to the Manchus and people of northeastern China and the emperors of the Qing dynasty followed a mix of Manchu Shamanism and Chinese Folk Religion.
As
@Hellenic Zevism pointed out, the symbol for the Manchu people has a visible swastika, as well as the "5 Colors/5 Gods/5 Faces" of Chinese tradition:
Well Hail Shangdi! I'm tackling Philippine and some lesser-known Amerindian mythologies next.
