Sanxi Dragonboat Festival | 三溪村夜赛龙舟
Whilst Dragonbaot festival (端午节) is celebrated throughout China, as with many other Chinese traditions, the people of Fujian (福建省) celebrate it more than most. One of the biggest events in Fuzhou (福州市) takes place in the village of Sanxi (三溪村). People flock to the normally peaceful village, every evening for a week, to see dragonboat "races" (龙舟赛), which are more about having fun than any real result.

Apparently, the church dates back to 1904 but the most recent buildings built on the site were started in 2007. The church grounds contains a large church, a smaller chapel, b...

    • @thechanhideout
      @thechanhideout Před 2 měsíci

      Not an easy thing to answer really, yes and no. There are lot of temples that call themselves 'Chan' but Chinese Buddhism has been influenced a lot by Pure Land, so often they are practiced together. Sitting meditation is not emphasised in many places but can be seen if you look around a bit. I'd say it is quite different to what many Westerners would see as Zen/Chan, which generally has gone to the West via Japan.
