Abstract
Since the Reform and Opening up in China, especially since the 1990s, in order to establish a
national cultural symbol system, the Chinese government has carried out large scale activities for
the protection of intangible cultural heritage with traditional culture as the representative. Under
this background, the author, by studying the case of the Li’s Ancestral Temple transferring from a
private temple of the Li’s to a communal temple worshiped by the whole village, will investigate
the possible factors which cause this transition. Thereby, it comes to the conclusion that the folk
beliefs, as one type of traditional culture and originally labeled superstition, though it hasn’t been
recognized by the nation as a religious phenomenon, might be recreated and revitalized with the
help of other forms in case of integration of multiple factors.
