Huangtiandao

Huangtiandao (黃天道 "Way of the Yellow Sky / Heaven", also written with the homophonous characters 皇天道 "Way of the Kingly Sky"), also known as Huangtianism (黄天教 Huángtiān jiào) or Xuanguism (悬鼓教 Xuángǔ jiào, "Dark Drum teaching"[1]), is a Chinese folk religious sect of northern China. It was founded by Li Bin (李賓), a former soldier who retired after losing an eye, in 1553 in Xuanhua, Hebei.

Stylisation of the 禄 lù or 子 zi grapheme, respectively meaning "prosperity", "furthering", "welfare" and "son", "offspring". 字 zì, meaning "word" and "symbol", is a cognate of 子 zi and represents a "son" enshrined under a "roof". The symbol is ultimately a representation of the north celestial pole (Běijí 北极) and its spinning constellations, and as such it is equivalent to the Eurasian symbol of the swastika, 卍 wàn.
