The Universal Church of the Way and its Virtue (or Church of the Dao and the De; Chinese: 万国道德会 ''Wànguó Dàodéhuì'') is a Confucian church and one of the prominent religions of redemption of China, founded in 1921 by Jiang Shoufeng (1875-1926), a member of the China-wide Confucian Church (''Kongjiaohui'' 孔教会). Kang Youwei, himself the founder of the China-wide Confucian Church, was appointed as well as the leader of the Wanguo Daodehui. The movement was concerned with a reconstitution of morality, at a time in which people no longer understood what morality means because of the decline of religion. In mainland People's Republic of China, although unregistered and as such theoretically not legal, the Church of the Way and its Virtue is extremely active as an "underground" movement like other folk religious sects and Confucian churches. It is spread especially in northeast China (Manchuria). Other prominent members of the association were Kong Decheng (1920-2008), Confucius' first descendant in direct line, and Wang Fengyi, whose teachings are promoted nowadays by the Beijing-based ''Yidan xuetang'' (一耽學堂). ==See also== * Confucianism * Confucian church * Chinese salvationist religions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Universal Church of the Way and its Virtue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
