Gaozhi

Gaojhism is prevalent in Yinchu and some surrounding areas. This religion has no deities, and instead centres around fundamental beliefs by which ghaozhists live their lives.

Gaozhi
Yuchian - Ancestors	Honhien	Jingshe - Lesser Spirits
Yuchian means ancestors are eternal and are a guiding force in all lives. Worship of the ancestors is required and, in many places, is the law. A ruler who does not have the support of his ancestors does not enter into power.	Honhien means that all of nature is cyclic, and that we should also strive to live by this pattern: seed to tree to seed. It discourages the use of non-cyclic materials such as metal or magic.	Ghaojhism believes the land is filled with spirits of varying power, but one's ancestors are more important. They do not worship any gods, but do not deny their extistance either.
