December 19, 1926, the Jiangxi Provincial Committee ordered to cancel Heaven Master Zhang's title and confiscate all the property. The 63th generation's Heaven Master Zhang Enpu escaped Mountain Longhu to Shanghai. Heaven Master Zhang enjoyed a special homage by imperial houses along the Chinese history, accordingly the lineage formed a special local religious tradition. Other than that, there existed minor local religious groups in different places, which are also worth noticing.
