Features: Religious culture is a part of Chinese culture. Religious culture involves ancient people's worldview, religious beliefs, folk customs, psychological characteristics, and value and moral concepts. For a long period in history, it has dominated and influenced people's social lifestyles. Its content is rich and its relationships are complex, making it impossible to be simply summarized as "superstition." While tracing the origins of human god-making, we also briefly introduce the political, historical, economic, social, and psychological background of the emergence of various gods. The ultimate goal is to explore the essence of folk beliefs and present the process of human god-making as authentically as possible to the readers.
