Clergy

(1,048 words)

Author(s): ter Haar, Barend J.
The term "clergy" is not as self-evident in the Chinese context as it may seem. First of all, there are formally initiated (ordained) monks and (very few) nuns of the Buddhist and Daoist monastic traditions, monks of the Tibetan tradition, and ritual specialists with Christian or Islamic backgrounds. In addition, there are also initiated ritual specialists of the Buddhist and Daoist traditions who, however, are not committed to celibacy. To the general population, ordination of the ritual specia…

Weißer-Lotus-Aufstand

Author(s): ter Haar, Barend J.
1. BegriffMit dem W.-L.-A. wird konventionell eine großflächige, aber nicht koordiniert organisierte A.-Bewegung bezeichnet, die über neun Jahre (1796–1804) in denchines. Provinzen Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei sowie Sichuan tobte und das Qing-Reich (1644–1911) bis ins Mark erschütterte. Diese Bezeichnung ist nicht unproblematisch, denn sie suggeriert eine weit in die Geschichte zurückreichende A.-Tradition, die sich aus einer relig. gefärbten Geheimlehre gespeist haben soll. Die sog. W.-L.-Bewegung stand jedoch nicht mit relig.…

White Lotus

(1,186 words)

Author(s): ter Haar, Barend J.
1. ConceptThe White Lotus Rebellion conventionally denotes a wide but uncoordinated resistance movement that held sway for nine years (1796-1804) in the Chinese provinces of Shaanxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan, and that shook the Qing Empire (1644-1911) to its foundations. The term is not unproblematic, for it suggests a rebellious tradition reaching far back into history and supposedly growing out of secret lore of a religious kind. In fact, the “White Lotus” movement was not associated with religious groups of earlier eras that used the signum “White Lotus” (Chinese  bailian) as…

Millenarismus

(3,149 words)

Author(s): Noack, Karoline | Rüther, Kirsten | ter Haar, Barend J.
1. Begriff und historischer KontextDer jüd.-christl. Begriff M. geht etymologisch auf das Tausendjahr ( millen(n)ium) – auch Chiliasmus (von griech. chília, »tausend«) genannt – zurück. Er bezeichnet ein breites Spektrum an Heilserwartungen, die in der diesseitigen Welt anstatt im himmlischen Jenseits ihre Vollendung finden [2]. Der Idee von einem tausendjährigen Zwischenreich ohne Herrschaft des Bösen, wie sie in der Offenbarung des Johannes entwickelt wird, gingen at. Prophezeiungen voraus (z. B. Jes 24–27, 65; Dan 7–12; Hes 37–48). Versproc…

Millenarianism

(3,380 words)

Author(s): Noack, Karoline | Rüther, Kirsten | ter Haar, Barend J.
1. Concept and historical contextThe Christian term millenarianism is etymologically derived from “millennium” (Latin:  millen(n)ium) – also known as chiliasm (from the Greek  chília, “thousand”), though its roots are within ancient Judaism. It covers a broad spectrum of expectations of salvation taking place in this world rather than in the heavenly afterlife [2]. The idea of a thousand-year interim kingdom unstained by evil, as developed in the Gospel of John, was anticipated by various prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures (e.g. Isa 24-27, 65…
