Tonghak

Common card · No. 422152

Tonghak (Korean: 동학; Hanja: 東學; RR: Donghak; lit. 'Eastern learning') was an academic movement in Korean Neo-Confucianism founded in 1860 by Ch'oe Cheu. The Tonghak movement arose as a reaction to seohak (lit. '"Western learning"'), and called for a return to the "Way of Heaven". While Tonghak originated as a reform movement and revival of Confucian teachings, it gradually evolved into a religion known today as Cheondoism in Korea under the third patriarch Son Byong-hi.
