Home›Chinese Religious & Philosophical Figures›Veneration Status›Historically Significant but Not VeneratedBrowse ByHistorically Significant but Not VeneratedThis page groups historical figures by how actively they are venerated today, from figures with a living feast day and shrine to ones remembered only in scholarship. Many traditions formalize this status through a process such as canonization, which Wikipedia defines as "the declaration of a deceased person as an officially recognized saint." Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a figure with ongoing devotion apart from one preserved only in historical record.FactsHistorically Significant but Not VeneratedConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Historically Significant but Not VeneratedFilter Results21 entriesGenderAllFemale (4)Male (17)TraditionAllChristianity (2)Confucianism (7)Taoism (8)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (18)Historicity debated (2)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Member OfAllCelestial Masters (1)EraAll-179 to -104 (1)-305 to -240 (1)-470 to -391 (1)-481 to -402 (1)-77 to -37 (1)1017 to 1073 (1)1119 to 1182 (1)1148 to 1227 (1)1247 to 1464 (1)1472 to 1529 (1)1656 to 1730 (1)1815 to 1897 (1)1858 to 1927 (1)1873 to 1930 (1)1883 to 1977 (1)226 to 249 (1)252 to 334 (1)34 to 156 (1)365 to 448 (1)45 to 116 (1)456 to 536 (1)Revered InAllChristianity (1)Taoism (5)Manner Of DeathAllDied by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (1)Executed (1)Office HeldAllFirst Professor of Chinese, University of Oxford, from 1876 (1)NationalityAllChina (12)France (1)Germany (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 21Ban ZhaoHistorically Significant but Not VeneratedCary F.
