We Chinese people are spiritual, but not devoted to religions since the ancient time, may be due to the cultural awakening in spring and autumn period (chun qiu 春秋). A lot of Chinese believe in gods, even which are from different religions at the same time, such as gods/saints from Buddhism and Taoism. Since the ancient time, most Chinese people with religious belief do not have the concept of belonging to one religion, such as define as Christians define them as Christians.
Is the Han folk religion the most widespread and more popular? Is there even such a thing as an ethnic Han religion? And if there is, this one would be the oldest right? Older than Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
@Jacky Phantom chuang li was not talking about Buddhism. but referring that many different "religions" and beliefs have influenced Chinese culture and beliefs. from my personal experience, Buddhism or Chinese religion is very heavily dependant on your own families traditions, and religion is more of a practice of culture rather than belief. so even though formally Buddhism "isn't supposed to have gods" (which i disagree with) in Chinese culture the influence of other dominant beliefs has influenced Buddhism.
@Jacky Phantom oh so your now the pope of buddhism and all Chinese religion. What do you want me to do next kiss your hand.🙄
@@Jackson-nr2mw What do you mean you disagree that Buddhism's not supposed to have gods? That's one of the underlying tenants of Buddhism. However, if you're arguing that Chinese Buddhism over time incorporated local deities and familial piety in order easily spread their ideas, then yes. But, the fundamental position of Buddha is that there are no such thing as gods or central religious authority figures.
@@SandeepMukkamala im just saying no one should inforce their own beliefs on to others regardless of the religion and that everyone has the right to believe in what they want.
P.s. the later half is what i mean
a great summary. thanks, Mike.:)

Mike, as a white American I really enjoy learning about your culture. I found this video fascinating. You might want to think about slowing down 10-15% . You are covering a lot of information really fast, and it is hard to process it.
andy smith 0.75 speed is your hero, but unfortunately only on pc
El Dromedario Speeds are on the new mobile updates too
morbid picasso my phone's prolly too old bc i can't choose the speed of a vid on mobile
andy smith yes you're right I enjoy watching the video but he talk so fast
Thou shalt not tell a Chinaman to slow down his lessons 😂
Excellent,keep going😉

Hi Chens. I want to say that I love your work. Keep it up!
I know things are weird right now with the youtube ad thing, but why don't you have a patreon? Do you?

@6:12
hmong people have those same chairs at the feast!
hmong are from thailand and laos and came to america during vietnam war
those chairs! i have one in my living room wow! lovely
I always saw videos about Chinese religion which only contains Taoism Confucianism and Buddhism, then what about Shenism? (Chinese FOLK RELIGION) As a Malaysian Chinese I'm very shocked that a lot of videos aren't detailed very much, or perhaps Northerners don't have any deities like much in Southern China?
A Malak The main religion is Islam, however there are Christian, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism (Chinese folk religion) etc. Most of the chinese descendants aren't going to assimilate with Islam, we have our freedom to preserve our beliefs, and also the choice to change too.
Sherman Stanley Christian isn't a China religion
Black 9 I didn't said that too.
Ramadan Mubarak from Israel :)
Shenism, is very misleading name. It literally means Godnism. it makes no sense to name a religion this ways. even in mainland China, many religions practice are mixed and inter-influenced. it is the western tradition to seek the totalism and monopoly destination in culture (or idealism). For a mature civilization, we need not to follow the childish and parochial way of thinking.
Every time I hear about dynasties falling, it makes me feel bad. Thousands if not millions of people die in war or under harsh conditions just to prop up an emperor who gets overthrown 30 years later. Then the whole process repeats.
Buddhism is best
Christianity
Families in Malaysia have several gods in their households they are very traditional Chinese, can anybody name a few of the gods they worship?
I am Chinese Malaysian. Actually the Gods that we worshiping are family oriented. Each family chooses the Gods that they believe to worship, same thing happens in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and etc Chinese places. Anyway, there still have some common Gods which we worship on our family altar:
1. Sky / Sky God (English world names it as Heaven worship, but it sounds weird to us, coz we don't worship Heaven. In Chinese, the word for this God means "Sky"). The altar for this God is a pavilion shape of cubic, locates at the entrance gate of the house. This God has no form. It oversee this world. It will punish the people who doing the bad things or committed crime. Chinese Emperors claiming themselves as the sons of this God and they are getting the mandate from this God to rule China.
2. GuanYin / Avalokitesvara. The most popular God from Buddhism. She is more popular than Buddha in Chinese world, you will see her statue in nearly all Buddhist temples and Chinese Folks religions temples. Usually her statue will be put on the middle position on family altar inside the house. We worship her for family protection and also to seek the help from her.
3. Ancestor. Usually this is just a wooden board which carved with our family name which used to represent our ancestor. It is put on the family altar too.
4. Ground God. Usually this is just a wooden board which carved with the words "Ground God". It is put on the bottom of the family altar.
5. GuanYu (Chinese war hero, who lived during Three Kingdom period). His statue is a long black beard general in armor suit. We worship him for protection purpose.
6. CaiShen. Fortune God. We worship him with the wish of getting good fortune.
Laxmi maybe? many south east Asian country's believe in her and she is said to be the wife of a form of buddha.
@Jacky Phantom Hes Malaysian Chinese because Malaysian Chinese Names are little Different from China
@@shekeal2810 laxmi is not Chinese god..its Indian god.
Only Jesus Christ
in 4:20, Did Buddhism in China really give rise to Taoism religion? I always believed that Taoism was in China in about the same time or before Buddhism was in India, let alone way before Buddhism came to China.
You are right. Taoism was in China in about the same time or before Buddhism was in India, let alone way before Buddhism came to China.
Thank you for that confirmation. I remember comparing the dates displayed in the Victorian and Albert museum in London on Taoist and Buddhism art, and that was my conclusion. It still isn't clear to me which came first; Hinduism or Taoism. From what I can tell they both came at almost within 100 years from each other.
@@wg4476 From what I understand Taoism as a philosophy started in 6th century BCE often attributed to its founder Lao Zi or Lao Tzu. The various beliefs and mythologies in which it originated from obviously formed much earlier. Hinduism, as far as I know, didn't have a specific founder but is believed to have formed by fusion of various cultures and religions around 15th century BCE.

@Lance Ginactually You are Little Wrong,Taoism mean Tao mean way mean Universe so you are what?
Hmong people have 18 clans.

The God of War in china is mythological figure, Chiyou,
but i think he is just "Illegitimate history.
Chi You - phenotically - sounds like txiv-yawm in my hmong language
its father or grandfather, but actually its more translate like, THE Father,
The Grand Father, like Father of Fathers... Like Geghis Khan, literally means 'ruler of all' rather than actually being a name
just want to share your stories inspire mine too! LOVE!@
thanks so much

Excellent. thank you.❤️💕🇺🇸
great vid
Would you be willing to do a video on the Chinese language? There are several phonemes I'm just not sure how to pronounce when transliterated.
what happened with the other upload^^
Nice Awesome video
Chinese religions are very original. Unlike Christian or Islam. The majority people in China still believe in ghost worship and Ancestral worship. However, the main ideology in China focuses more on the people instead of gods. This is humanism. One consequence of Chinese society is that once Religious powers become too influential, secular majority will always suppress it. This happened not just one time, but many many times in Chinese history. So, from my perspective, most people in China since Zhou dynasty are secular(not atheism).
Wow I had never heard before of Shanti!
Im here because i love chinese series
"lake cannot created a river on its own." - Lao Tzu
@xXx Punk Rock xXx U can find the meaning on your own. i don't have the answer. Everyone has their own answer.
"The more u know the more u don't know."
I like this video
can you do street interview on how young generation feel about religious beliefs and if they adhere to it ?
Chinese, no matter older or younger generation are heavily influenced by Communists, if they are educated, then they are more likely to be secular.
People outside mainland China that are not influenced by Communists mainly adopts sage worship or ancestral worship. There is no systematic religion.
Thank you for making this, you just saved my history grade.
五代十国：five generations (cus it lasted roughly 50 years) and 10 kingdoms (because of the many minor states that fought after the collapse of Tang, is a very interesting period and to some extent resembles China today, where different governments acclaim to be the true kingdom that should govern all of China.
Taoism, has already fully developed during the Zhou dynasty (1046 BC-256 BC). It is one of the earliest religions found in China.
Taoism is at least more than 35000 years old, probably nearly 5000 years old.
I only worship Guan Yu
Paul I only worship amitufo and guan yin and di Zhang Wang
Paul Does Guan Yu own a heaven?
goosecouple guan yu is a guardian
Wrong. Guan yu was a military general in ancient China.
After Guan Yu's death, he became the martial god. Guan Yu is widely worshiped by the people who put their lives on the line in the job.
Then came Mao's Dynasty. Goodbye everything; religious, historical, and educational.

The religions

The geography
Ni hao CHEN! Which CHEN clan are You referring to (are You a descendant from one of the three CHEN members, having founded the CCP in Shanghai in AD1921? -from where is Your CHEN clan originating -ANHUI (like my spouse herself)?)? -Thank You for Your superior film clips about these interesting themes (in special this one about religions in China -TA0ISM is my favourite here). I do both appreciate and enjoy it a lot. NOTE! But let me hint You two systematical problems: (1) please do speak 25% slowlier -none is pressing You and it will raise Your dignity; (2) the MING Dynasty (started by one Buddhist monk) was started in the 17th century (AD1644) and the last QING Dynasty (of the Manchou rulers and invaders) ended in the 20th century (AD1911)! -Last request: Can You find the Taoist primary source "TAI PING JING" in bilingual version (Chinese-English) for me? -Thank You in advance! -I did receive one Chinese "TAI PING JING" from the TAO Master in Lanzhou (GANSU) in AD2008 while visiting the large TAO Temple there, together with my friend from Lanzhou.
Really discovering religion. Make sure understand and make you make a decision we are all family

I LOVE OLD ASIAN ART
Where do I find old Asian art?
my people still practice the first religion on this video. i guess my people are the grass root of chinese people.
The Chinese do not call Confucius and their ancestors gods, but call them teachers or great ancestors. Taoism and Confucianism have far more influence in China than gods, so Chinese gods are their ancestors. They don’t need foreign gods, because Chinese people The ancestral beliefs are very loyal and protect the ancient Chinese culture and land.
Since as many as Three CHEN from the major CHEN clan were the founding members of the CCP=CPC in Shanghai in 1921, You may rename the CPC as "CHEN's Party of CHEN Dynasty"...
Is chinese and san and shinto are the same
Taaaaoooiiisssmmm 😃

To all Chinese reading this, you guys should actually thank Ashoka the great for Buddhism. He was the reason why Buddhism spread across Asia from India.
But why didnt it spread in india??
@@randomhuman7214 heh? It did. It was a major religion back then. Even today it's a major religion in India. Also, back then, being hindu and being Buddhist weren't mutually exclusive.
@@yadneshchaudhari4208 bruh..india took sikkim nd tibbet part ladakh..thats why budhist popln increased..otherwise there r no mainland indians who appreciate budha nd budhist philosophy..lol
@@randomhuman7214 seriously? Maximum population of Buddhist in India is in Maharashtra and central Indian states. The ladakh which you are calling Tibet part actually has hindu majority, and that too of Tibetan tribes. The %of Buddhists in India is around 3%. And Sikkim doesn’t even have 1% of Indian population.
@@randomhuman7214 also, there are Hindu temples for Buddha too, if you didn’t know. Stop talking crap about other people if you don’t know them.
Im watching this bc idk what my Chinese religion is....
Manchus of the Qing dynasty were not Buddhist. They had shaman beliefs.
Antonia Alana Qing dynasty were Buddhist .Although they had shaman ,they were still Buddhist.
@@sisi4361 😊👌
interesting
What know about shiv third eye of shiv on up the yellow river
Which is most popular religion in China
it really depends on how you define a religion, Confucianism for example doesn't really address the supernatural in and of itself (which allows you to make an argument that it is more of a humanistic philosophy as opposed to a full religious doctrine) but does see the exploration of such concepts as potentially useful- this distinction is something Western societies don't really have an analog for- belief systems in the west are generally all-encompassing with regard to societal, spiritual obligations and as well as expectations regarding the afterlife . From what I could gather, the main "religions" of China serve different purposes with Confucianism being how you interact within society and how society should be structured, Taoism being you're personal well-being on Earth while Buddhist thought informs you on the afterlife so they arguably have about the same number of practitioners with some people leaning more heavily on one of them than the other

Are chinese communities in malaysia, singapore, taiwan etc more likely to practice chinese religions then?
mysticonthehill Yes. But Chinese in Malaysai, driven by greed, also worship datokong, tuapekong, rocks, trees, low level spirits stuff.
Sad to hear greed I feel that is a problem most everywhere. But I don't find anything wrong with worship of spirits, trees or rocks so do I. It makes sense to me to have reverence for what life is build upon. Peace.
goosecouple you are driven by laziness racist and dumb
You left out the Catholic Church missions and their persecution in the 1600 - 1620

Buddhism religion was made by An Indian Gautam Buddha and was spreaded by Indian King Ashoka in the whole world so China has a big religious connection with India as it is it's neighbour Country
Buddhism always was and still is a minority religion in China.
how is buddism a chinese religion?
我不同意，秦始皇不但保持儒术之礼，也传播其诸百家的史书名叫《吕氏春秋》。你最好应该更新自己的历史研究资料和参考。
shidarta spirit still exist
You know a lot
Do you breathe at all lol. Or run out of saliva so to speak my parent would say
Most Chinese people do not believe in a specific religion. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, you can worship in a temple as long as you hope to get the protection of this god.
Did I hear correctly? Time Travel? Really?!
🌟
lol @9:45 don;'t believe in ghost... lol
Ok, if you say soo lol....
Everybody, needs some kind of protection, I don't care who you get it from,
just sayin, ya gotta' have it
does anyone know where Buddha came from
Nepal yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Zafarnama Who told you that? Nepal is different nation. older than india. you idiot
There was no Nepal then. Nepal occupied the land where Buddha was born in late 1800s. Then India was weak, as Mughal Empire had collapsed, British still not powerful, Marathas declining.
India!
Yeah modern day Nepal, back then Prince Gautama's(Buddha) kingdom consisted of both modern day India and Nepal.
He was born is Nepal
Died in India
Siddharth gautam was from Nepal. But The Buddha from India.
