Guiyidao is a Chinese folk religious movement of salvation belonging to the Xiantiandao ("Way of Former Heaven") tradition. It is better known as Precosmic Salvationism in contemporary Taiwan, and historically also known by the name of its institutions as Daodeshe, Guiyi Daoyuan or later Daoyuan.
Similarly to other Xiantiandao sects, Guiyidao is focused on the worship of the universal God (Tian), which it defines as the Holiest Venerable Patriarch of the Primordial Heaven (Zhisheng Xiantian Laozu), as the source of salvation.
