China's Four Relations.

China has four state established re-
ligiOns, and in each the emperor exer-
cises sacerdotal functions. Twice
year the emperor as "son Of heaven"
worships before the tablet Of Shang TT
or supreme heaven in accordance with
the ancient imperial monotheism.
Twice year he burns incense before
the tablets Of bis ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice
year he sacrifices TO the gods Of Tao
Ism and twice year to the image Of
Buddha The ancient and primitive
religion OF China Is mOnotheistic, but
this direct worship was regarded as
too sublime for the people. so that IL
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son Of heaven" and as priest
Of the nation. The people on their
part worshiped their ancestors, and 1t
was this ancestral religion which Con-
fucius identified himself with and re.
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao
ism. which IS polytheistic and the re-
ligion Of the pOpulace. Then Bud
dhism came into China about Go A. D.
and. like the other three religions, be-
came state supported and state en-
dOwed.
