In both Russia and China, however, the Mongols dominated the government. The arrival of the Mongols in China brought about a major shift in the central power of government. The “khans”, referred to as “Great Leaders”, dominated the government and the top positions within it.

It was said that his conquest of gaining absolute power costed millions of innocent lives. Whether success is measured through his power, influence, achievements, wealth, creations or oppressive tyranny is a matter of dispute, but is agreed that Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history.

After the founding of new China in 1949, I-Kuan Tao was defined as heresy and eliminated in mainland China before 1955. With lifting the religious ban by Chiang Ching-kuo (蒋经国), who is the president of Republic of China after Chiang Kai-Shek (蒋介石), I-Kuan Tao finally became a legal religious organization recognized by Republic of China.
