A Reexamination of the thesis that Wan Wu-Dao Zong Created the Tiandi Hui

  • Online:1997-11-15 Published:1997-11-15

Abstract: This article addresses the argument that the “Tiandi Hui was formed by Wan Wu-Dao Zong” which several national scholars such as Mr.IuoZhao and Mr.He Zhiqi have proposed in recent years. This article finds that this is not a new discovery or breakthrough on the topic of the origins of the Tiandi Hui. In fact this was an old theory raised by scholars as early as the 1950’s. secondly, this type of research is unscientific and solely based on inference, thirdly, the research largely relied on “The Confidential Record of Xiang Hua Seng.” While this book was highly praised by the scholars as a precious and valuable resource from the Kangxi period, it was actually, compiled later by individuals who were opposed to the Qing Dynasty and who were themselves influenced by the Tiandi Hui. This work has no value for historical research.
