Rediscovering “Popular Confucianism”: rujiao 儒教 in Modern Sichuan
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Since the nineteenth century, a religious tradition known as rujiao has flourished in Southwest China. Its origin in Sichuan is closely associated with the Lord Guan spirit-writing cult in the early Qing dynasty. From the early 1840s, the Qing Emperor’s Sacred Edict was believed to possess spiritual power, and rujiao integrated the imperial decree on Preaching the Sacred Edict into its theology and rituals. Furthermore, four traditional Chinese techniques of receiving revelations were used in combination by rujiao to produce scriptures and popularize the Sacred Edict. By transforming the Sacred Edict into a religious practice, rujiao not only secured support from local communities but also shaped subsequent popular religious movements.
