ABSTRACT
The conception of a· personal God, Lord and Creator of the Universe, never occurred to the Chinese, but, if they have an overriding divinity it is Luck. In the quest for good fortune in their mundane affairs they will propitiate any divinity, from the Lord Buddha to the legendary Monkey, who has the reputation of possessing the power to grant their desires. No spirits or belief dating from the most primitive times, seems to have been discarded, whilst they are always receptive to new ideas if they promise to be advantageous.
