'''Chongbai''' (崇拜) also called '''Worship of the Deep''' is the ethnic religion of [[Daxia]] and is practiced by a majority of the [[Daxian people]]. A polytheistic religion, the Chongbai pantheon is composed of dozens of gods and hundreds of minor deities and aspects of nature. Aspects of Chongbai have influenced the cosmovision of [[Daxian people|Daxians]] and their sense of [[Zhangwo|special destiny]]; [[Daxia]]n racialist theories are deeply enmeshed with Chongbai religious doctrines. The Emperors were considered to be the heads of the Chongbai religious hierarchy thanks to their special connections to the divine, in their absence the Custodian of the Grand Temple of Diqiu and Grand Hierophant is considered the seniormost and preeminent religious figure. Out of favor after the end of dynastic rule, Chongbai has begun to see a revival in its popularity during the last two decades as resistance and agitation against 'foreign' religions is on the rise.

God of Tremors, responsible for earthquakes and seismic movements, is represented by a mountain with one eye.

==Temples==

Large temples dedicated to a particular god usually exist in larger cities. As there is no centralized authority, these temples are maintained by the local faithful with their own resources or from special funds donated by the city administration. The priest or priests also subsist from the donations from the same sources. Some cities choose to adopt a single patron deity.

===Shrines===

Shrines are small places of worship, they tend to be ad-hoc spaces or simple constructions. A simple plinth with a small statue in the corner of a courtyard, a sturdy table with candles and offerings; these spaces are meant to be used to simple daily devotions. They proliferate in packed urban settings where access to a temple is hard or not practical.
