| Summary: | The study of Chinese temples helps us to examine in greater detail on the various aspects of the Chinese religion culture, belief and practises . This exercise seeks to explore, specifically, on the sociological aspects of the Chinese temples, which play a very important role in the lives of the Chinese community. Chapter 2 aims to describe on the aspects of temples and the theology of Chinese religion upon which the practises, beliefs and culture is based.

Chapter 3 will give a detailed description of the Chinese temples in Melaka on which this research is being conducted. This includes aspects, such as characteristics, ditribution, development and future plans of the temples.
