Chinese Freemasonry

Chinese Freemasonry, also known as Chinese Masonic Lodges, is part of the global Freemasonry movement that emphasizes moral development, brotherhood, and charitable work through symbolic rituals and teachings. It was introduced to China in the early 20th century, blending Western Masonic traditions with local cultural elements. Chinese Freemasonry operates independently within national contexts, often navigating political sensitivities and cultural differences. While sharing core principles of enlightenment and community service with global Freemasonry, Chinese lodges may incorporate unique customs, reflecting China's rich history and societal values.
