The Mazu procession wends its way down the length of Meizhou Island.

Chinese religion acts not only as a means to commune with the divine, but also as an entire religious ecology designed to create stability and harmony within society. This ecology is deeply rooted in beliefs and rituals practiced not only by folk religion but also by Chinese Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
