Manichaean was the founder of Mingism (known abroad as Manichaeism), a Persian, born in Babylon (then a colony of the Persian Empire's Sabbath Dynasty).

In the American-published "List of 100 People Who Influenced the Course of Human History", Confucius ranked 4th, second only to Jesus, who established the Arab state during his lifetime and successfully created a world religion and language, with Muhammad ranked 1. Cai Lun, a major improver in papermaking, ranked 6th, higher than Shakyamuni. Qin Shi Huang ranked 18th, Mao Zedong ranked 20th, and Qin Shi Huang and Mao Zedong ranked much higher than Washington and Napoleon.
Interestingly, the historical influence of Manichae, the founder of Mingism, surpassed that of Zoroastrian founder Zoroastrian, who ranked 83rd and Zoroasty ranked 89th. Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Mingism and Islam all originate from Zoroastrianism, and almost all the theories and stories of the world's great religions have "copied" Zoroastrianism, which can be said to be the originator. The historical influence of Zoroastrianism is greater than that of Mingism.
Now Zoroastrianism
The number of Zoroastrians is now very small, and now the Ming Religion has disappeared, but why does Manichae's historical influence still exceed Zoroastrianism? One important reason is that during Zoroaster's lifetime, personal influence was not good, and Zoroastrianism was not widely spread at that time.

Mani and his father originally believed in Christianity, And Mani followed his father at the age of 4 and entered the small christian ascetic sect, but Mani slowly began to centrifuge from this small sect, claiming to be inspired by angels from an early age. By the age of 24, Mani began to "go mad" completely, describing himself as a "messenger of light" and began to dig up Christian believers, but his intentions were discovered and he was almost killed.
Mani's family still had some influence in the local area, his father was a Persian nobleman in Babylon, and his mother was a relative of the Persian Empire's resting royal family, and eventually rescued Mani.

Manichaeism developed only from his family, and initially two of his family members were successfully developed into Ming christians. After continuous efforts, Mani's father later became a Ming Sect. But this was obviously not enough, and Mani began to refine the missionary theory of the Ming Religion.

Shakyamuni was born in Nepal, and in the early days of Buddhism, Shakyamuni had been lurking in Zoroastrianism for many years, and many believers had developed from Zoroastrianism. However, the trick of directly digging up believers was no longer effective in the Manichaean period, and everyone guarded against it very strictly.
Mani first exalted Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Christianity, and Mani himself and his followers worshiped Zoroaster, Shakyamuni and Jesus as gods and did not create new gods. Mani then presented himself as the successor of Zoroastrian, Shakyamuni, and Jesus.

Dive into Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Christianity, the Ming and True Believers of Manichaeism, in exactly the same emphasis and behavior. In terms of faith, it is disguised as zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Christianity.
The theoretical texts of Ming Buddhism, with Zoroastrian, Buddhist, and Christian versions, were later introduced to China, and Mani was packaged as an incarnation of Taishang Laojun, the successor of Rulai Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha, Mani Guang Buddha.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="24" > the fundamental teachings of Ming Buddhism</h1>
There are many scriptures handed down in the Ming Sect, but none of them were written by Mani himself, and several books written by Mani were lost long ago. Ming disciples who lurked into different religions were responsible for adapting different scriptures and stories. The core theory of Ming Buddhism proposed by Mani is very simple and crude, that is, the "two sects and three worlds theory".
The "two sects" refer to the struggle between good and evil: the world is divided into a kingdom of light and a kingdom of darkness (or), both of which are facing each other and are equal in strength. Therefore, the power of human beings is very important, and everyone must stand up against the dark forces.

The meaning of "three worlds" is also very simple, referring to the initial, middle and post worlds (past, present and future). Take the Buddhist version of the core teachings of Ming Buddhism as an example: the development of the world is divided into three processes: the ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp (the Past Buddha), the Shakyamuni Buddha (the present Buddha), and the Maitreya Buddha (the Future Buddha). If the heavens are about to be destroyed, the mana is very weak and can no longer protect everyone, and Maitreya Buddha is reincarnated here, and everyone quickly stands up against the dark forces.

Most Of the Ming cultists worship the god not Mani. The gods worshiped by The Ming Sect are very numerous and very mixed, including Jesus, Zoroastrians, Amitabha, Taishang Laojun, Guanyin, Tang Sanzang, The Nine Heavenly Goddesses, VajraPani, Maitreya Buddha, Zhenwu The Great, and the Eight Great Ming Kings.

Despite the strong espionage of Manichae and Ming, it did not take long for the Persian Empire to develop rapidly before it was besieged and suppressed by Zoroastrianism. Manichaean and Ming believers were forced to flee to other countries of the world as missionaries.

The first successful case of Mingism came from ancient India, where there was a region called the Kingdom of Duran, and in order to rebel against the Aryan caste system, the king of Duran soon converted to Mingism and made Mingism the state religion. The Kingdom of Duran is the area where the present Baloch people live, including the province of Balochistan in Pakistan, Nimruz in southern Afghanistan, and Balochistan in Iran. Balochistan is the largest province in Pakistan, accounting for 43.6% of Pakistan's total land area. After that, The Ming Sect quickly spread throughout Afghanistan and spread through Afghanistan to northwest China.

The aryan and Persian empires spanned three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, and destroyed three of the four ancient civilizations. The Sabbath Dynasty was a superpower on a par with the Han Dynasty of China, so Manichae always wanted to return to Persia to develop.
Mani was lucky, and soon after fleeing, the Persian Sabbath Dynasty began to be in chaos, and Mani seized the opportunity to sneak back to Persia, develop a large number of believers, and became close friends with The Governor of Belus, the brother of Shapur I. Shapur I was the founding emperor of the Sassanid Dynasty of the Persian Empire, and the establishment of the Sassanid Dynasty took more than 20 years, and in these more than 20 years, Manichae and Mingjiao have always been inseparable, and have always helped Shapur I and his brother to establish a country.

After the establishment of the Persian Sassanid Empire, Shapur I and his brother regarded the Ming Sect as an ally, and the Ming Sect was finally legitimate. Shapur I defeated the Roman army three times, making Persia once again the hegemon of Eurasia and Africa, with many colonies. Mingism also benefited greatly, spreading rapidly in countries around the world and becoming a world religion in just a few years.

The Ming sect gained ally status in Persia for 13 years, but immediately after the death of Shapur and his son Homiz, the Ming lost its legal status, and Mani was crucified on the Zoroastrian cross after 26 days of living torture in zoroastrian prisons. Why is that?

It turned out that the successor Boswahelan I found that the so-called founding hero Mani, after the founding of the country, not only contributed little to Persia, but became the biggest enemy of Aryan rule.
After spreading to the regions conquered by the Aryans in ancient India, Babylon, Syria, Palestine, European countries, and ancient Egypt, it soon became the mastermind behind the rebellion and rebellion. The dominance and supremacy of the Aryans in Asia, Europe and Africa was greatly weakened by Manichaeans and Mingism.
In the first year of the reign of the Persian Emperor Vahran I, he began to brutally suppress the Ming Sect, and after Mani's death, the Ming Sect was forced to go underground again.

By the time of Manichae's lifetime, Mingism had spread wildly in ancient India, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, Syria, and Palestine. Since the founding of the Ming Sect, its espionage and rebellion attributes have been very prominent.
After Manichae's death, the Ming "professional rebellion" in Europe lasted more than 600 years, becoming one of the biggest enemies of Christianity. After the Ming Sect spread to China, it was a "professional rebellion" for more than 1,000 years.
