Features: The establishment of the Ming Dynasty's empire was aided by the assistance of the Sun and Moon Brightness Sect. After the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he turned his back on his allies and reinstated prohibitions, severely suppressing the Brightness Sect, forcing it into a clandestine state and into constant conflicts with the so-called orthodox sects. By the Jiajing era, the leader of the Brightness Sect went west to seek scriptures, leading to the sect's internal division.
