The quote "The emigrants confused the gods by diverting their curses, misleading them with crooked streets and false names". This shows that Maxines knows about her culture becasue they try to confuse the gods to get rid of their sins. She probably learned about this from stories her mother told her when she was a young child. She may of not been to China, but she has a basic understanding of it.
The quote "All the village were kinsmen, and the titles shouted in loud contry voices never letting kinship be forgotton." This shows that the everybody in the village were friends and treated eachother like family. However, this is ironic because they helped destroy the familys reputation. They slaughtered their "kinsmen" domestic suppy of animals. This shows no sign of being like family at all.
