3 unusual facts about Way of the Celestial Masters


Way of the Celestial Masters

After the fall of Luoyang to non-Chinese invaders in 311, the remnants of the court fled to Jiankang (modern-day Nanjing) and established a new state known as the Eastern Jin dynasty.

His followers were forced to resettle in other parts of China, with one group being sent to the Chang'an area, and another being sent to Luoyang.

In 1949, after the communists gained power in the mainland, the remaining Celestial Masters fled to Taiwan, where they still live today.
