Description

In colonial Korea, Chongdogyo played a central role in the people's movement. It was characterized by a cultural nationalism, and was involved as both a cultural movement and an enlightenment movement. Towards the end of the 1920s, a book of teachings at a popular level for the masses called Chongdogyo kyori tokpon (Readings in the teachings of Chongdogyo) was prepared for publication, aimed mainly for defining the independence of the people. However, the text was subjected to major censorship by the government-general, and was never actually published. After this, Chongdogyo became increasingly moderate, and eventually took the path of cooperating in the war effort.
