- Notes
- There are two versions of the book: English and Simplified Chinese (left, below) and the other in English and Traditional Chinese (right, below).
- From the late 1800s to the present day, Chinese Canadians have made Burnaby into a more vibrant and livable city. Rooted: Chinese Canadian Stories in Burnaby brings together a collection of diverse stories and photographs from the community, celebrating the legacy and contributions of Burnaby’s Chinese Canadian community spanning over a century. This coffee-table book features oral histories and interviews with descendants of multigenerational family farms, green grocers, corner stores, restaurants, and places of worship. Also included are archival research and community perspectives on anti-Asian racism, community activism, courage, and resilience.
- The publication has been timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the introduction of the Chinese Exclusion Act by the Government of Canada in 1923. This federal legislation followed decades of discriminatory legislation by Canada’s federal, provincial and municipal governments that targeted Chinese Canadians by limiting opportunities to live, work and raise families in Canada. The Chinese Exclusion Act banned almost all migration from China and remained in place until 1947. Publishing this book in 2023 is an effort by the City of Burnaby to recognize the impact of discriminatory legislation on Chinese Canadians in our community, including discriminatory bylaws and practices implemented by Burnaby’s early municipal government.
- Edited by Denise Fong (Lead Researcher), Jane Lemke (Burnaby Village Museum Curator) and Lisa Codd (City of Burnaby Heritage Planner).

- Description
- Metal Chinese tea samovar consisting of base, reservoir with tap, and lid; 3 Chinese characters placed vertically on reservoir; metal handles on base and on side of reservoir.
- Object History
- Samovar from the Kwong Chai Tong Herbalist shop, located at 122 East Pender Street in Vancouver's Chinatown. The business was founded in ca. 1915 by Lim Butt. The business was later ran by his son, Lim Bong. The samovar was situated on the counter of the shop, filled with an herbal brew which customers could pour off and drink for a small sum of money. The top portion is the resevoir for the Herbal tea. The lower portion is where the fire was in order to keep the tea warm. Vessel was used to store herbal tea which was offered to visitors for maintaining the balance of their body. Shen Nong is a deity in Chinese religion, a mythical sage ruler of prehistoric China; he has been thought to have taught the ancient Chinese not only their practices of agriculture, but also use of herbal drugs. “Shennong” can also be taken to refer to his people, the Shennong-shi (Shennong Clan). According to legend, tea was first discovered by Shennong over two thousand years ago. It is written in Classic of Tea that, "The tea drinking tradition began with Shen Nong and actively developed by the Duke of Zhou." Tea was used in ancient China. It is said that Shen Nong, the God of Medicine who tasted all herbs was poisoned by 72 different plants everyday. He relied on tea to neutralise the toxins. As for how he discovered this plant which can treat all sorts of ailments, there are many different versions.
