Abstract: Through the prosperity of the Song and Yuan dynasties, to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Xishan W anshou Palace fell silent, and Jingming Sect of Daoism (淨明道) declined for a time until the middle and later period of the Ming Dynasty. However, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, with the sectarian characteristics of inheriting multi-schools of Daoism and legal pluralism, the Daoist school represented by Zhao Yizhen (趙宜真) , Liu Yuanran (劉淵然) and Shao Yizheng (邵以正) received the favor of the royal family, which has led to the excellent development of that and the revival of Jingming Daoist Sect. The legitimacy of the revival of Jingming Daoist Sect is still controversial though, the efforts made by Liu Yuanran and Shao Yizheng in the restructuring of Daoism not only led to the trapid development of Jingming Daoist Sect in the early Ming Dynasty, but also laid a solid foundation for its prosperity in the middle and later period of the Ming Dynasty.

Key words: Zhao Yizhen (趙宜真), Liu Yuanran (劉淵然), Shao Yizheng (邵以正), restructuring of Daoist sect, Jingming Sect (淨明道)
