Taigu school

The Taigu school (Chinese: 太谷学派; pinyin: Tàigǔ xuépài), also Great Perfection (大成教; Dàchéng jiào) or Yellow Cliff teaching (黄崖教; Huángyá jiào), is a mystical folk religious sect of Confucianism spread especially in Jiangsu, Anhui and Shandong. It was founded by Zhou Xingyuan, a man with shamanic skills entitled Taigu (太谷; "Great Valley") by followers.

The purpose of the school is to help those who practice it to develop a clear and enlightened state of mind, in which man apprehends his true nature and recovers original simplicity.
