Do not fill this in! === Chinese folk religion === Members of [[Chinese folk religion]]s often use pork, chicken, duck, fish, squid, or shrimp in sacrificial offerings. For those who believe the high deities to be vegetarian, some altars are two-tiered: The high one offers vegetarian food, and the low one holds animal sacrifices for the high deities' soldiers. Some ceremonies of supernatural spirits and ghosts, like the [[Ghost Festival]], use whole goats or pigs. There are competitions of raising the heaviest pig for sacrifice in Taiwan and Teochew. <ref>{{cite news |language = Chinese |url = https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/chinese-news-54117912 |title = 強迫灌食肥豬變八百公斤「神豬」 被批虐待動物 |publisher = BBC |date = 2020-09-11 |access-date = 2021-07-19 |archive-date = 19 July 2021 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210719095053/https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/chinese-news-54117912 |url-status = live }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
