  skos:definition "Chinese temple structure used as place of worship of Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or Chinese folk religion, where people revere ethnic Chinese gods and ancestors. There are different types of temples, depending on the religion, and the most common are Taoist or Buddhist ones, with Buddhist temples (si 寺) being the most numerous. They are usually characterized by various buildings with distinctive roofs. For example, Buddhist temple roofs are curved because Buddhists believed that this helped ward off evil spirits, which were believed to assume the form of straight lines. Temple roofs were also made of glazed ceramic tiles and have an overhanging cave distinguished by a graceful upward slope."@en ;
