N2 - From the late Ming onwards, scholars have paid great attention to Zhu Quan's (1378-1448) relationship with Daoism. They tend to explain the phenomenon with reference to the taohui hypothesis, which was first developed in Zhu Mouwei's (1550-1624) Fanxianji. According to this hypothesis, Zhu Quan's relationship with Daoism was a matter of survival and entailed a form of self-serving dissimulation. Apart from refuting this hypothesis, the present article retells the story of Zhu Quan's apotheosis, so as to demonstrate that his relationship with Daoism involved a strong concern over the political sphere.
