Yongheng

Yongheng (Qi script: 永恆; Alphabetized Huajiangite: Yǒnghéng; Gua tuktsa: vuñhhhuñh, lit. "eternal") is a polytheistic ethnic religious tradition of the Qi people and an indigenous faith of Eastern Serica that teaches of the creator Ling and his four descendants. Yongheng belief is concerned with the flow of time and the purification of time and the self. Yongheng, unlike most other Serican religions, has several religious texts that describe the creation of the Qi people and the world in general. Qi literature before the Tusangga Fracture often mentions Yongheng, and several classicals dedicated to the lore of Yongheng have become recognised parts of Yongheng literature. Qi literature has specifically been dedicated to Yongheng in particular during the Zhu Dynasty where nearly all of early Zhu Literature was dedicated to writings about Yongheng.

Yongheng professes that the person must achieve total serenity and peace with the five steps in order as described by Er Quan in the Yuan Zhu (苑祝). Yuan Zhu is used as the basis of Yongheng tradition as it is the oldest document within Yongheng chronology. The ultimate being is to be to follow the five steps and attain the right to enter the Realm of Peace, otherwise known as Peace. Yongheng divisions tend to describe the Realm of Peace differently, but it is accepted that the Realm of Peace is commanded by the Peace Skirmishers.

The Diyi Shen (第一神) are the four gods that are direct descendants that are considered to be dormant and do not interfere with mortal affairs. The Dier Shen (第二神) are the thirteen gods that are familial descendants of the first gods and are able to directly able to interfere with mortal affairs. The thirteen gods are kept in check for the Ling Skirmisher (靈前衛).

Yongheng recognizes that there is one supreme deity, Ling (靈, Gua liñh), described as the supreme being who also represents the flow of time. From Ling, it is believed that different ideals begin to branch out. Yongheng uses a hierarchical system when dividing society.
