Fashi is a city in Fujian province, in southeastern China. It is one of the many settlements in the region, and its name is distinct from the more widely known places that share similar romanisations.
The term "fashi" also appears in Chinese religious studies, where it refers to ritual masters within Chinese ritual mastery traditions, sometimes called Folk Taoism or Red Taoism. These fashi are ritual officers who operate within Chinese folk religion but outside the institutions of official Taoism. In east China they are also known as hongtou daoshi, or "redhead" daoshi, in contrast to the wutou daoshi, the "blackhead" priests of Zhengyi Taoism who were historically ordained by the Celestial Master.
Beyond its location in Fujian, little documented information about the city of Fashi is available in the source material, and no further details about its history, population, or landmarks can be confirmed here.
