Tonghak () was an academic movement in Korean Neo-Confucianism founded in 1860 by Ch'oe Cheu. The Tonghak movement arose as a reaction to seohak (), and called for a return to the "Way of Heaven". While Tonghak originated as a reform movement and revival of Confucian teachings, it gradually evolved into a religion known today as Cheondoism in Korea under the third patriarch Son Byong-hi.
