Since the 1990s, China has been experiencing a religious revival that includes all state-recognized religions but especially Chinese popular religion, which is a blend of Buddhism, Daoism, and respect for family and village ancestors. This revival has had unexpected effects on rural Chinese villages, such as in the Black Dragon King Temple complex in Shaanbei, China. Identify the ways in which the transformation of a small rural shrine into the Black Dragon King Temple complex affected the village of Shaanbei.

A well-known Chinese folk religion/Shenist shrine, the Heilongdawang Temple (literally, Temple of the Great Black Dragon King), is situated in Shanbei, Shaanxi province, China.

The planting of trees at the Black Dragon King Temple in 1998 by a group of Beijing students and environmental activists as my case study. It demonstrates how the temple and the temple boss sought to attract "the powerful outside" in order to increase the legitimacy of the temple, how urban and international environmentalism interacted with local environmentalism, and how they chose to emphasize only the environmentalist agenda of tree planting while downplaying the Black Dragon King's magical prowess. These efforts at mutual deception led to the staging of a play that had a successful ending for both sides.

Hence, the black dragon king temple affected the village of Shaanxi.
