Yiwu - Many Chinese have become Christians and they believe in God. The majority pay respect and pray to a bunch of "Saints" or Buddha for good luck, good health, prosperity, harmony, long live, blessings, and safety, which is very much like Medieval pagan Christianity in Europe. Sometimes it can get very complex and theoretical, such as: "Yu Huang Shang Di - Also known as the Lord of Heaven (Tien Kung),Yu Huang Shang Di is a first rank mythological deity. He is the Supreme Ruler of the Heavens, of the Underworld and Protector of Humanity. All Buddhist, Taoist and popular religion deities are his subordinates. In many parts of China, he was considered too holy, too awesome and too powerful to be represented by an image and only a tablet bearing his title was placed on the altar (temple)." chinesepaintings.com
