Sure!!! I don't have any right now but I plan to add them next week!!!!
Symbolism explains itself! It would be the meaning behind the holy cross, or the yin yang!!
If you want a better example, take picrel: on one hand, it could be just a chinese symbol, but it means belevolence and has deep roots in confucianism and is one of the main virtues of it.
>I'm interested in what ideas you had about Chinese-mongolian buddhism.
Well!! I'm gonna put aside the religious factor and take the political one!! Mongolia prior to Temujin was a fractured nation; only mongolians that lived in developed cities weren't nomadic, but they were a very small percentage of all mongolians. Now, it's where it gets a little hazy for me!! Nomadic religious mongols usually traveled with religious artefacts for blessings and good luck, and more often than not, yurts were put for buddhist sermons!!! Now with Kublai Khaan it gets a lot more different!!! Since he conquered the entirety of the Song, he had to work with an entirely different people that weren't used to nomadic behavior. Kublai overhauled part of chinese bureaucracy in order to represent all of the different ethnicities in china; making them more obedient. Chinese emperors usually favored their own ethnic groups, such as the Qing with the Manchus. In the end, a lot of different ethnic groups were represented and their religions stopped being oppressed during the Yuan. In fact, there was a large influx of muslims into china after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty!!!!
I hope this didn't come off as rambling!!! I'm just really tired!!!! I'm probably going to sleep right now!!!
