Zhonghuanese People

Zhonghuanese People (Zhonghuanese:中国人民; Pinyin:Zhōngguó rén') refers to people who are culturally, linguistically, have ancestral links, hold nationality or citizenship to Zhonghua. There are thirty different ethnic groups who reside in Greater Zhonghua. The largest of which are the Han.

Han Zhonghuanese have become synonymous for Zhonghuanese people due to the dominance of this one ethnic group.

Culture
The culture of Zhonghuanese people is a varied one, almost as varied as the whole of Europe. There are many customs and traditions that are only observed in certain provinces or in some rare occasions at village scale.

But due to the dominance of the Han and of the coastal provinces of Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi, their cultures have been imposed as the stereotype of Zhonghuanese people. This has been further spread by the large overseas Zhonghuanese populations from these provinces.

Religion
The traditional religion followed by many Zhonghanese people is Buddhism. It is believed that approximately half of the Ethnically Zhonghuanese population adheres to Buddhism.

There are large number of followers of other religions also, many of which were spread as a result of colonisation during the 1600's.
