Origin 1760s
Jahriyya is a menhuan, or Sufi order, in China, commonly called the New Teaching. It was founded in the 1760s by Ma Mingxin and was active in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in what was then Gansu Province, including parts of today's Qinghai and Ningxia, when its followers were involved in conflicts with other Muslim groups and in rebellions against the Qing dynasty. The order's name derives from the Arabic word for vocal, for its distinctive practice of vocal dhikr, in contrast to the silent dhikr of the rival Khufiyya order.
