There are more than ten Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Jin Ping Mei Cihua (The Plum in the Golden Vase or The Golden Lotus), such as Yongfu Temple, Bao'en Temple, and Yuhuang Temple. It describes religious figures such as Wu Daoguan (Daoist minister道官), Pan Daoshi (Taoist), Wang Guzi (Buddhist nun), Xue Guzi, etc. All these shows that religion had permeated the daily life of Ximen family. Although XiMen Qing and his family members had very different attitudes towards religion, and they participated in different religious activities, they mainly took advantage of religion, to pray or to entertain, and did not have a devout religious belief. The education of these religious people were of varying quality, some good, some bad. Jin Ping Mei Cihua has a contradictory attitude towards religion. It does not believe in religious preaching, but wants to warn or guide the contemporary materialistic society through religion.
