The origin of the term bayanihan can be traced from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place by volunteering to transport the house to a specific location. The process, which is the classic illustration of the term, involves literally carrying the house to its new location. This is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the ends of each pole. The tradition also features a small fiesta hosted by the family to express gratitude to the volunteers.

An interesting anecdote recounted by a Quaker named Thomas Ellwood provides some insight into Paradise Regaineds development. After studying Latin with Milton and reading the poet's epic Paradise Lost, Ellwood remarked, "Thou hast said much here of Paradise lost, but what hast thou to say of Paradise found?" Hearing this, Milton at first "sat some time in a muse" before changing the subject; however, sometime thereafter he showed to Ellwood a new manuscript entitled Paradise Regained. Some maintain that although he seemed to express gratitude to Ellwood in a letter, Milton in truth "passed on a friendly if impish fabrication" that made Ellwood feel like the inspiration for the poem.

After Lithuania regained independence in 1918, the concept of a new church that would express gratitude to God for its regained freedom arose. A committee led by president Antanas Smetona was established in 1926 to oversee its construction. The City of Kaunas was chosen as its site, since the historic capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, was part of Poland between 1920 and 1939. A design competition was held in 1928 and the proposal drawn up by Karolis Reisonas was chosen for the church as the best. Due to the technical difficulties arising from the grand scope of the design, and dramatic escalation of its cost estimates, the final design was not approved until 1933.

Mainland Korean shamanic painting in Buddhist style, nineteenth century In many mainland traditions of Korean shamanism, portraits of the gods are hung in a shrine room above the altar. These works hold great religious significance, being both the objects of daily worship and a medium by which the depicted deity sends forth divine inspiration, to the point that "the shaman does not venture to touch them without first making offerings and petitioning the gods, requesting their indulgence." Some shamans go as far as to not distinguish the painting and the god, at least in speech. Shamans regularly replace damaged works and also replace old paintings with new ones as a way to express gratitude to the depicted gods.

The minaret from outside the walls, which used to be a surveillance tower for marine attacks The mausoleum was founded in the 18th century by order of Murad II Bey (1666-1675) to express gratitude to Sidi Amar Kammoun who treated him for a disease he got during one of his official visits to Sfax. The minaret was added later between 1636 and 1666 in two stages by Sidi Amar Kammoun, who himself took in charge all the expenses of his construction thanks to his personal fortune. Apart from its religious and spiritual role, the mausoleum provides a very important defensive role during several crises thanks to its strategic geographical situation which allows the surveillance of the coastal facade of the medina from the minaret not only during a conflict with Sicily but also during the conquest of Tunisia by France.

111 CE Hanshu "Book of Han" (25A) has a "closely parallel" version (Campany 2006: 325). Emperor Wu of Han The Shiji chronicles Li Shaojun as part of a lengthy debate on whether and how Emperor Wu should perform the Feng (封) and Shan (禪) state rituals on Mount Tai in honor of Heaven and Earth. Debaters were divided between two factions, the fangshi maintained that Wu should emulate the Yellow Emperor, their main deity, who obtained immortality through performing the rituals, while the Confucianist court officials such as Gongsun Hong suggested that the emperor should only express gratitude to Heaven and Earth (Pregadio 2006: 30). The Liji narrative about Li Shaojun begins with his intentionally obscure origins and introduction to Emperor Wu, to whom he recommends cizao (祠灶, sacrifice to the furnace/stove) and gudao (穀道, the Way of [avoiding] grains, aka bigu 辟穀, Daoist grain avoidance) as methods to attain longevity/immortality.
