Abstract: Secret religious were folk secret societies formed by Chinese peasants form the lower strata of rural society. Their purpose was to practice heretical beliefs. These societies had strong anti-traditional feeling. Secret religion and secret parties mixed with each other, and constituted Chinese secret societies. Whenever class contradictions became more acute, it was often the members of these groups who became the leaders and organizers of peasant uprisings. Blending Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and some Paganism, secret religious developed religious doctrines of their own, and were regarded as paganism by the rulers of past ages.
