When was the Yuan Zhen Association established?
Yuan Hui Zhen (also known as True Hui Yuan) was a Taoist organization in China in the Yuan Dynasty, which was founded from Yuan Yingzong to Zhi Zhi (132 1-1323).

Yuan Yingzong was the fifth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. During his reign, he advocated Taoism and encouraged its spread and development. Yuan Shenhui was founded by a Taoist named Zhao, who was called "Master Zhengyi" and became a Taoist consultant. Under its leadership, Yuan Zhen religion developed rapidly, attracted many believers and became an important organization of Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, Yuan Yingzong's rule will soon be deposed and Yuan Zhen will be suppressed. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, due to political changes and social unrest, Yuan Zhen society gradually declined. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government continued to suppress Taoism, which led to the disappearance of Yuan Zhen society.

Although Yuan Zhenhui did not exist for a long time, it occupied a certain position in the history of Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty, which reflected the characteristics of the integration of politics and religion at that time.
