禮拜
“禮拜” (lǐbài) is a term used in Chinese to refer to worship or religious services. It is commonly associated with various religious practices, including those in Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity. During these services, followers gather to express their devotion, offer prayers, and participate in rituals.
In a broader context, “禮拜” can also refer to the concept of a week, as it is used to denote the seven-day cycle in the Chinese calendar. This dual meaning highlights the importance of both spiritual observance and the passage of time in Chinese culture.
