In 2008, the Xiapu Manichaean manuscripts of Shangwan Village 上万村, in Baiyang Township, Xiapu County became publicly known to the scientific world. They are manuscripts from a religion known as Manichaeism, which now only exists as Chinese Manichaeism. They continue to be used by a local priest, Chen Peisheng 陈培生, in his Manichaean rituals.[4]
