Upon inquiry, it was learned that according to the memorial presented by Wu Lana, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Xu Si, Governor of Fujian, they caught Chen Biao, the son of the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society, and his immediate disciple. According to the confessions of the two men, the founder of the Heaven and Earth Society was named Tisi, that is, monk Honger. Tixi founded the Heaven and Earth Society in the 26th year of Qianlong (176 1), but Tixi had already passed away.

Before the establishment of the heaven and earth society, affirmative was still traveling with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. When he became a monk, the story of burning South Shaolin and its five ancestors had been circulating for 70 years. For Tisch, this legend is simply tailored for himself, which is why the book Heaven and Earth Society describes the origin of Heaven and Earth Society in this way.

The development of heaven and earth society:

The Heaven and Earth Society was originally established as a secret mutual aid group among lower-class workers, but it became more and more fierce due to repeated repression by the Qing court. During the Qianlong period, "Shun Tian Dao?" "Scrape off corrupt officials" and "seize the country" are slogans. After Jiaqing, slogans such as "unclear prosperity" and "clear opposition" were put forward. Anti-Manchu content was added in the late Qing Dynasty.

In order to cope with the suppression of the Qing court, it is convenient to absorb the congregation, constantly create new names, and become a secret association system, with dozens of names. Due to the scattered organizations, there is no unified leadership, and organizations in the same area are not affiliated with each other. The Heaven-Earth Society has no fixed doctrine and object of worship, but it has strict rules. Later, it developed into thirty-six vows, requiring the congregation to be loyal to the vows and keep secrets strictly.
