Three leaders of the Chinese cite an alternate proposal for the origin of one of the Magi. They state that many Chinese Christians believe at least one of the Magi came from China. They cite anecdotal evidence about Liu Shan, the chief astrologer during the Han dynasty in China at the time that Jesus was born. Liu Shan discovered a new star theChinese called the "king star" - which was associated with the birth of a new king. The disappearance of Liu Shan from China's imperial court for two years shortly after this star was discovered, they interpret as perhaps traveling the Silk Road to Bethlehem.

4. JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/
CHINA:First Jewish Settlement.
At what time, however, the first Jewish settlement in China took place it is difficult to say. In all likelihood Jewish merchants immigrated, or changed a temporary sojourn into a permanent one, at various epochs. In an "Account Written by Two Mohammedan Travelers Through India and China " in 851 (Renaudot, transl., London, 1733, p. 42), it is stated that "the Jews have been settled in that empire [China] from time immemorial." Notwithstanding this, it is as hazardous to connect the first Jewish settlement in China with the Lost Ten Tribes ("Jew. Quart. Rev." xiii. 23) as it is an unwarranted skepticism to doubt the correctness of the tradition of the Chinese Jews themselves, which traces the first immigration back to the HAN dynasty between 206 B.C. and 221 C.E. (Möllendorf, in "Monatsschrift," 1895, p. 329), and more exactly to the time of the emperor Ming-ti. This opinion is based upon the oral tradition of the Jews, reported by Father Brotier: "These Jews say that they entered China under theHAN dynasty during the reign of HAN Ming-ti [58-76 C.E.]." And further: "Several of these Jews have assured me that they arrived during the reign of Ming-ti" (Tobar, "Inscrip. Juives de Kai-Fung-Fu," p. 90). A certain Sulaiman (Jewish traveler of the ninth century) similarly claims that they entered in 65 C.E. Grätz (iv. 376) places the first immigration in the year 231 C.E., connecting it with the persecution of Jews in Persia, which caused also their first settlement in India; furthermore, the Jews of K'ai-Fung-Foo themselves claim that they received their religion from India (compare Finn, "The Orphan Colony of Jews in China," p. 40; but see passages cited below); but there is nothing to support this hypothetical date, or the statement of Glover in the "Babylonian and Oriental Record," vi. 247, 288; vii. 149, that the Jews were not in China before the fifth century. On the other hand there are many reasons for the assumption of an earlier date………
High Reputation of Chinese Jews. Referring to the immigration, this inscription says: "During the HAN dynasty this religion entered China………………….

5. Some Notes on the Visibility of the 5BC Chinese Star
www.astrosurf.com/comets/cometas/Star/Visibility_Star.htm
The 5 BC Chinese star is often associated with the Star of Bethlehem due to the coincidence in dates and the time of year that it was observed. As such it is interesting to examine its visibility, based on what little is known about it from the contemporary chronicles, combining them with weather data and other astronomical information.

Back to our opening question: does the Bible, which is meant for all people of the world, have anything to say about the land of China?… JESUS clearly revealed God’s purpose for giving prophecies when He said:
“And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.”(John 14: 29).
One of the most powerful, yet often neglected, Bible prophecies that might bring conviction to the Chinese, as well as the world, is the prophecy of China written by Isaiah (720 - 680 B.C.).
The Land of SinimL The ancient Dead Sea Scrolls,3 found in 1947, include the book of Isaiah, and once again confirm that today’s Bible is accurate and reliable. This verse in Isaiah is thought to refer to China:…….. =================================================

Do you know that the Chinese people use to WORSHIP ONE SUPREME GOD?DO you know that ancient chinese use to build a temple without IDOLS or statues, and sacrifice animals to Shang Di (Supreme God)?Do you know that ancient chinese use animals without defects (like Jews) for sacrificial worship unto God?Do you know the Emperor of the Han CHinese people was like a Priest, and he would make a pilgrimage to the temple to make intercession for his people to God?Buddhism, Taoism came much much later and influence the CHinese to worship idols and statues?
Excuse me, The fact that chinese worship One God is not only in wikipedia. You can be challenged to go do some research too.

simplified Chinese: 汉族 or 汉人; traditional Chinese: 漢族 or 漢人; pinyin: hànzú or hànrén) are an ethnic group indigenous to China and the largest single ethnic group in the world.Han Chinese constitute 94 percent of the population of the People's Republic of China (PRC), 98 percent of the population of the Republic of China (ROC), 75 percent of the population of Singapore, and about 19 percent of the entire global human population.And "Han" is not a dialect like "Cantonese"...Get your facts right.

Yes hassee,for example, in the chinese character of "Yi" or righteousness, there are 2 components. The first component speaks of A Lamb, and the second component speaks of ourselves. The component of Lamb is on top of the component of ourselves.So in short, to be righteous, we have to have the Lamb (of God) above us.
