Abstract
"Animistic phenomena exist everywhere in this world; animism does not merely dominate the belief in tribal societies, it also hides behind major religions around the world during their indigenous process.1 Actually, animism has even become an influential and prominent component in many cultures. The Zhong Yuan Festival is considered one of the most important festivals to the Chinese people. Regarding the characteristics of animism and the significance in the Zhong Yuan Festival, this paper will attempt to demonstrate the animistic aspects in this Chinese traditional festival; the reasons for “why Chinese people do what they do in the Zhong Yuan Festival” will be illuminated. In addition, a Pentecostal response to the specific animistic aspects in this Chinese Zhong Yuan Festival will also be formulated in this paper."
