In such a context, as the high priest of Quan-Zhen Religion, Chu-Ji Qiu responded to the changes of time and managed to bring Quan-Zhen Religion to its bloom. The bloom of Quan-Zhen Religion also presented a series of questions to itself. Qiu's doctrine of "expedience" is the answer to all these questions. Their religious theories, daily practice, and even the whole spirit were greatly influenced by Confucian ideas and then changed the course of its development. On one hand, it stressed the secular moral practice and saw it as the only approach to Tao; on the other hand, it also identified with the secular Confucian hierarchy and political powers.

The whole article is divided into three parts: first, the new atmosphere of Quan-Zhen Religion in the early Jin Period; second, the Confucian orientation of Quan-Zhen Religion in the early Yuan Dyansty; and third, the source and substance of its Confucian orientation
