The Xiantiandao (, or "Way of the Primordial"; Vietnamese: ', Japanese: '), or known as Blue/Green Lotus sect (), also simply Tiandao (; Vietnamese: ', Japanese: '), is one of the most productive currents of Chinese folk religious sects such as the White Lotus Sect, characterised by representing the principle of divinity as feminine and by a concern for salvation (moral completion) of mankind.
Xiantiandao was founded in Jiangxi in the 17th-century Qing dynasty as an offshoot of the Venerable Officials' teaching of fasting (), a branch of the Dacheng ( "Great Vehicle") or Yuandun ( "Sudden Stillness") eastern proliferation of Luoism. It has also been traced to the earlier Wugongdao ( "Way of the Five Lords"), a Yuan dynasty offshoot of the White Lotus tradition.
