(The real atheists here refer to those who do not have faith in any religions nor had any activities related to religions or folk customs.) 185 million people believe in Buddhism and 33 million have faith in Christianity and believes in the existence of God. Only 12 million people are Taoists, although more than one hundred million have taken part in Taoism activities before. Thus, it is obvious that the Buddhism has the widest influence.

It’s composed of an enclosed square yard surrounded with the house on four or three sides. Earth houses (土楼) are traditional houses of the Hakka (客家族 ) ethnic group in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi Provinces. These houses, called Tulou, are typically designed for defensive purposes and consist of one entrance and no windows at ground level. These houses are usually round with kitchen and utility rooms on the ground floor, and people living on the higher floors. iang Nan (江南) houses are often called 四水归堂 (Sì shuǐ guī táng), because of their abundance of water resources: lakes, rivers, channels, etc.  The houses are a smaller version of Siheyuan, but unlike the northern houses which have brighter colors (red, green) and colorful paintings, Jiang Nan houses have a unique sense of simplicity: white walls and black tiles, which represent the humility of Jiang Nan people.]]> 2016-09-03 01:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_sinteral/ecomjjntx3yb/wish/121437426 Chinese Games dylan_sinteral https://padlet.com/dylan_sinteral/ecomjjntx3yb/wish/121437608 Here are some Chinese games: 五子棋 wǔzǐqí
