9. Chinese Traditional Religion

Almost everyone is familiar with the yin and yang, a popular concept that the faithful followers of the Chinese Traditional Religion hold strong to, including their mythological deities and gods. The yin is negative, dark, and feminine, while the yang is positive, bright, and masculine and the interaction of the two greatly influence the destiny of all things. Those who live according to the Chinese Traditional Religion believe in a peaceful life after death, one that an individual can attain through performing specific rituals and showing great honor to ancestors. Upon death, the god Ch’eng Huang determines whether someone’s spirit is virtuous enough to go and dwell with the immortals in Buddhists paradises, or to a hell followed by an immediate rebirth into their next reincarnation.
