Religion

   Most Chinese are Confucianists. All schools in the nation teach the ways of Confucious. Some of the Chinese were converting to Christianity but not all of them. The only influence was of Matteo Ricci who had a quest to convert the Chinese to become Christians. He even learned the ways of Confucious to show others it wasn't hard to change religions. His idea has changed the minds of Chinese. Who knows it might become the official religion at some point. It's the fastest growing religion in the nation.
   There are other beliefs not of religion. For example there is feng shui, and Yin and Yang. They are about balance in everything. Ying represents water and balance between nature. Yang the opposite force, the mascular and imperial force. It is associated with uneven numbers, and also represents the "Mountains" and evergreen trees. Everything is said to be "balanced" in Chinese belief.
