Chinese spiritual world concepts are ideas about what is beyond the physical world that we can see and touch. They often include beliefs about gods, spirits, and other invisible forces that exist beyond what we are aware of in our everyday lives. Chinese spiritual beliefs include the idea of ancestors, who are seen as forces of protection and guidance for those who are still alive. They also believe in reincarnation, the idea that when someone dies, their spirit will be reborn in another body. Chinese spiritual concepts also include ideas about the energy that flows through the universe, expressed in the idea of yin and yang. This is the opposite but complementary forces that make up the universe, with yin being the more passive or negative energy and yang being the more active or positive energy.
