Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -about Chinese sections of various cemeteries in Victoria.

The ¿ ¿ ¿ Burner for Assembled Treasures, akin to the Hung Men ¿ ¿ ¿ Ten Treasures (Collection) Hall, and the obelisk together indicate the Hung League was the origin of the Chinese Masonic Society. Avoca, has a burner and five gravestones standing but with inscriptions eroded away, to mark the presence of over 120 Chinese in the 19th century. Amongst them a few were already over 40 when they arrived in Australia, suggesting they could perhaps have been amongst some of the batches of half pardoned convicts transported from the Crown Colony of Hongkong between 1842 and 1875 (or some possibly mature members sent by the Hung Men to provide leadership and to supervise Gold mining ventures).Ararat Cemetery now has 13 Chinese gravestones to mark the thousands who once worked in the Ararat Mining District. Apart from two dating from around 1858, markers of Chinese graves in Vaughan are now just stumps but an important memorial was erected in this section of the cemetery by the Chinese Masonic Society (the Chinese Association) to commemorate the restoration of this burial ground in 1928. The second edition corrected the misnomer of Dunolly (previously identified as Eddington, which has no Chinese gravestones remaining), expanded information about Yackandandah, and included a new Section on Wangaratta, where Gravestone No. 38 is of particular Interest as an example of the practice of paying deference by its style of inscription. The third edition is further expanded, now 174 pages, records, translates and comments on burners, an obelisk and more than 100 gravestones in detail, all with coloured photographs, and identifies some correlations with soul tablets installed in the See Yup Temple in Melbourne, and relevant historical and statistical material from Australia and China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death is a topic that has fascinated people for centuries. In the English-speaking world, eulogies in poetic form could be traced back to the 1640s, but gained prominence with the 'graveyard school' of poets in the eighteenth century often stressing the finality of death. Chinese American Death Rituals examines Chinese American funerary rituals and cemeteries from the late nineteenth century until the present in order to understand the importance of Chinese funerary rites and their transformation through time. The authors in this volume discuss the meaning of funerary rituals and their normative dimension and the social practices that have been influenced by tradition. Shaped by individual beliefs, customs, religion, and environment, Chinese Americans have resolved the tensions between assimilation into the mainstream culture and their strong Chinese heritage in a variety of ways. This volume expertly describes and analyzes Chinese American cultural retention and transformation in rituals after death.
