Whakapapa

Tears of Rangi by Anne Salmond

The way Māori see the world, their stories to explain how the world works, and early histories between Māori and Europeans. It’s amazing to find the similarity between Māori and Chinese culture with all the geological and linguistic insulation between them. The concepts hard  be translated into English, like hau, Whakapapa, pō, mārama and all the ancestral ideas, can find their counterparts in Chinese easily.
