Religions of China

Overview

Variations in time and place are vitally significant to the practice of religion. During the 5,000 years of Chinese history, Daoism and indigenous practices flourished in every region of the realm. Foreign religions including Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, and Christianity, entered and spread throughout China. These religions are all associated with many locations: temples, pilgrimage routes, sacred spring and mountains, schools, and many more.
