Mo or Moism (Chinese: 麽教; pinyin: Mó jiào)[1] is the religion of most Zhuang people, the largest ethnic minority of China. It has a large presence in Guangxi. While it has a supreme god, the creator Bu Luotuo (布洛陀),[2] numerous other deities are venerated as well. It has a three-element-theory (sky, earth and water).[2] Mo is animistic, teaching that spirits are present in everything.[3]
Mo developed from prehistoric beliefs of the Zhuang people;[3] it also has similarities to Chinese folk religion,[4] and has developed similar doctrines to Buddhism and Taoism, in the process of competition with the influence of these religions on Zhuang culture.[5][6] The Cultural Revolution of China weakened Mo,[3] though the religion has undergone a revival since the 1980s.[7][8] Moism varies from region to region.[3]
