Chinese Religion

I read an article on chinese religion at this website, http://asia.msu.edu/eastasia/China/religion.html and it said how many chinese people are Daoists. The text also said, "One is the Imperial Cult, in which the Emperor, who was called the Son of Heaven, not in a biological sense but in the sense of being chosen by Heaven to rule China, worshipped Heaven and various gods on behalf of the entire country," and I thought this was interesting because I wondered how they chose these certain people to represent their country. I thought this article was interesting because the chinese seem to be living simple lives and they seem like they think healthy and they think more of the good of the people. I also can relate this to myself too because on my dad's side of the family, it's customary to take care of your parents when the kids get older. Like right now my grandpa and grandma are still living with my uncle and aunt and before that, their parents probably lived with them too. They are very big on respecting the elders especially your parents.
