Chinese temple
A Chinese temple is a worship place of the Chinese folk religion/Shenism, where people revere ethnic Chinese gods and ancestors. They can be distinguished into:
* miào (庙) or diàn (殿), simply meaning "temple" and mostly enshrining nature gods or national gods;
* cí (祠), cítáng (祠堂), zōngcí (宗祠) or zǔmiào (祖庙), referring to ancestral temples, mostly enshrining the ancestral gods of a family or clan. These temples are different from:
* Taoist temples and monasteries: 觀/观 guàn or 道观 dàoguàn;
