History

[edit]

Originally a reaction of Chaozhou shamans to the Japanese occupationofChaozhou, it blossomed in the wave of religious innovation after the Second World War.[2] After the communist takeover in Mainland China in 1949 the De faith spread to Overseas Chinese communities in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.[2] In recent decades, it has spread back to China and started a worldwide expansion effort.[2]
