Chinese folk religion, also known as Chinese popular religion or Shenism, is a general term for a range of traditional religious practices of Han Chinese (a Chinese ethnic group), including diaspora. These are all Western terms. Chinese folk religion is prevalent in north China and the practice of it can be bound to a single village or temple or to a god with a following in multiple villages, provinces, nationally or internationally. Temples for Shenist worship are distinct from Daoist temples, and are usually small and very colourful. They seldom have resident clergy or monks but are run by a board of directors from the community. Combined with Daoists, there are about 454 million adherents of Chinese folk religion, making it one of the major religious traditions in the world, and accounting for more than 30% of the Chinese population. Chinese folk religion draws from a vast heritage of sacred texts and oral transmissions, including Confucian, Daoist and Buddhist teachings. There are no standardised practices but aspects include ancestor-veneration and worship of deities, geomancy, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Popular festivals include Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival, the Qingming Festival (All Souls’ Day, now a Chinese public holiday) and Winter Solstice. Chinese folk religion was heavily suppressed in China through most of the twentieth century but today various forms are officially supported by the Chinese government.
