How to Find Confucian Figurines
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can EditConfucian Figurines are figurines of famous Confucian sages, scholars, generals, many of whom have become Gods. Confucian figurines are often used as shrines for worship or something to focus on during meditation.
Steps
- If you live in a large city it should be quite easy to find Confucian/Taoist/Buddhist figurines. Most large cities like London or New York will have Asian/Chinese districts where most of the populace are foreign and most of the shops are foreign. Take a stroll down one of these streets and have a glance in shop windows until you come across the right shop.
- Due to the increasing popularity of Asiatic customs and furniture it is possible to find Figurines in shops not in foreign districts of the city. Many furniture stores or jewellers have Asiatic figurines and furniture.
- It would be wise, if you know a practicing Confucian or someone who has an interest in Confucianism, to inquire if they have any and where did they get them from. Note: these people are probably collectors and may have more expensive, high quality figures. Most shops will still have varying price ranges for customers on a budget.
- If you do not live in a major city or near one it can be very difficult to get hold of these rather elusive figurines. If you have the internet or a local library with internet, you can browse the web for them. Just type in Confucian figurines and off you go! (try eBay)
- If you can't find any Confucian Figurines or can't afford them, but have an artistic flare, why not make your own? Figurines are often made of wood and painted. If you or someone you know is a carpenter, all you'll have to do is get a design.
