China has many religions. But rituals of local temples are none of these. They celebrate many gods and their powers to respond. Gods are invited as welcome guests by appropriate rituals of welcome and communication. The author has spent over four decades studying Chinese ritual and religion through observation in contemporary China and Taiwan.
