are features of ancient Chinese culture integrated into the
Confucian philosophy and belief. Apart from
Confucianism, lesser deities are also apparent in Daoism
with the presence of atmospheric gods, gods of locality,
and functional gods. Chinese belief systems soon arrived
in Japan and influenced the local culture and the
indigenous polytheistic religion Shintoism.
