Master Xuanchu is the founder of Shengxuan Daoism—a modern cultivation system rooted in ancient Taoist wisdom, yet attuned to the needs of the contemporary life.

From an early age, he was drawn to the Dao. He journeyed across the land, seeking out masters, receiving transmissions from diverse lineages. For over 20 years, he has walked the path through direct, embodied practice—verifying, step by step, the teachings of cultivation and the living truth of the Dao.

In an age where technology advances swiftly while the human spirit grows ever more adrift, he made a solemn vow—to reopen the gateways of Dongtian, to bring guidance to spirit-bearing beings, helping them transcend both the mind and body, and reconnect with the infinite potential hidden within the essence of existence.

Recognizing the limitations of traditional Taoist models in the modern world, he integrated years of lived cultivation and practical instruction to establish the Shengxuan Daoism. Through this, he seeks to re-articulate the path of cultivation in a form that today’s seekers can understand, enter, and embody—leading them toward the source, and closer to the Dao.

Over the past 10 years, Master Xuan Chu has devoted himself to reviving Taoist cultivation in the language of the present age—merging classical principles with systematic teaching. He has personally guided hundreds of students and disciples, and his insights have earned him a following of over 180,000 across major Chinese platforms.

In 2024, he formally introduced the core vision of Shengxuan Daoism:

• Dao as the central faith;
• Xuan—the infinite, the mysterious, and the yet-to-be-known—as the guiding orientation;
• Real practice and concrete verification as the method of cultivation.

From this triadic foundation arises a renewed expression of the ancient path—

a living system through which the Dao may once again be perceived, studied, cultivated, and confirmed.

Not as abstraction, but as a path one may truly walk, with clarity, progression, and trust.
