Description
Chinese Gods: An Introduction to Chinese Folk Religion Jonathan Chamberlain Blacksmith Books English, 3rd edition, 237 pages, paperback Chinese folk religion is the underlying belief system of more than a billion Chinese people. In Chinese homes, offices, and restaurants, altars, statues, and paper 'good luck' images can be found. Temples and Earth God shrines are also common in Chinese communities. However, the religion that makes sense of these expressions of belief is not well understood. 'Chinese Gods' helps to explain the building blocks of this complex system, which connects to Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. This book provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of Chinese folk religion, exploring its history, practices, and significance. By understanding the underlying beliefs and customs of Chinese people, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity of Chinese culture. Through 'Chinese Gods', readers can gain insight into the everyday expressions of Chinese faith and its connections to other major world religions.
