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. 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 recognizes that there is one supreme deity, Ling (, 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.
