The nation's trade representatives who won the favor of Chinese emperors by accepting restrictions on trade, paying tribute, and kowtowing were known as the "tribute envoys" or "tribute missions." These representatives, typically from neighboring countries or vassal states, followed the protocol of acknowledging the emperor's superiority and demonstrating respect through acts such as kowtowing or submitting tributary gifts.

The British refused to kowtow to the Chinese emperor primarily because they viewed themselves as equals and rejected the hierarchical structure of the Chinese imperial system. The British saw the practice of kowtowing, which involved performing a ritual bow to show submission, as a sign of inferiority. This clash of cultural values was emblematic of the broader tensions between Western powers and China during the 19th century, particularly in the context of trade disputes and colonial ambitions. Ultimately, this refusal contributed to the deterioration of relations that led to events like the Opium Wars.

In ancient history, there isn't any nonreligious creation accounts. There are many creation accounts other than Genesis (i.e. Judeao- Christian accounts), but they all have to do with a god or several gods creating the earth. _____________ Regardless of your point of view, any and every account of creation shares at least a sense of magnificence, wonder and awe. These accounts all deal with things that are far beyond anyone's practical knowledge or understanding, and of course far beyond anyone's experience. They also each have some means of symbolizing, imagining or framing how what appears to us as order coalesces out of what we imagine started out as chaos.
