White Lotus Rebellion
The White Lotus Rebellion (, 1794–1804) was a rebellion that occurred during the Qing dynasty of China. A precursor to the main rebellion broke out in 1774, under the leadership of the martial-arts and herbal-healing expert Wang Lun in Shangdong province of northern China. The main rebellion itself began two decades later, in 1794, when similar but larger groups of rebels claiming White Lotus affiliations rose up within the mountainous region that separated Sichuan province from Hubei and Shaanxi provinces.
