The Xuanyuan teaching (), less commonly Huangdi teaching (), is a Confucian religion founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1957. The founder was Wang Hansheng (1899-1989), a legislator.〔Jochim 2003. p. 60〕 The Taiwan government used the temple building project in an effort to subsume all the ways of worship to local deities under one national god, Huangdi (the "Yellow Emperor"), traditionally considered the (progenitor god) of the Han Chinese race.〔Jochim. 2003. p. 60〕 The organised religion of Xuanyuan has 200.000 adherents in Taiwan and is active in China, where it has temples, statues (黄帝像 ''Huángdì xiàng'') and members who participate to the sacrifices celebrated at the Xuanyuan Temple, the largest temple dedicated to Huangdi in the world. Xuanyuanism is based on Confucian rationalism, and therefore rejects practices it considers superstitious that are found in other sects of Chinese folk religion, such as scripture writing through god mediumship.〔''Journal of Chinese Religions'', 1997, n. 25. p. 18〕 Huangdi is also worshiped in Chinese folk religion by millions of people who do not necessarily adhere to the Xuanyuan teaching. ==See also== * Huangdi * Chinese salvationist religions * Confucianism * Confucian church 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「Xuanyuan teaching」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
