Junism

Summary
Junism (or Kang-Junism, Gang Jun-ui gil; lit. "The Path of Kang Jun") is a traditional religion from Liusheng which originated in the southern region of the Kingdom of Joseon (now Pyancheon). This religion shares many traits with the other South Draecian religions but the core of its philosophy is very different from its neighbouring faiths. Founded by the students of Kang Jun, an ascetic philosopher, after his death in the 300s AS. The religion stresses the importance of individual contribution to society, contradicting the traditional Liusheng idea of social stratification. Individuals at all levels of society are expected to make active efforts to improve not only themselves, but their peers, both materially and spiritually. Wisdom and prosperity are viewed as equally important sides of the same token, and it is typically frowned upon to favour one over the other.

Junist thought has resulted in a significantly more egalitarian society in Pyancheon compared to its neighbouring regions. When the Samsonite Empire conquered Pyancheon in the 19th century, the region was very quick to rebuild itself, even without Samsonite assistance, as Junist communities took up the task of reconstruction almost immediately.

The religion has four core values, which are seen as the deciding factors of a successful life: Junists are expected to be humble, and always willing to challenge what they know (Wisdom). They are to be industrious, and provide for themselves and their peers, especially when those peers are facing hard times (Prosperity). They are too practice healthy, temperate lifestyles and avoid unwarranted violence (Longevity). Perhaps most importantly, they are taught to weed out negative influences in their life, both internal and external (Happiness).
