嘉慶中，林清、李文成等以八卦教倡亂，既誅，而汲縣潞州屯墳塔猶祀其神曰「無生老母」，習教者猶眾。 During the Jiaqing reign, Lin Qing and Li Wencheng had stirred rebellion in the name of the Eight Trigrams sect. After their execution, the grave pagoda at Luanzhou tun in Jixian still honored their god as the "Eternal Mother," and many locals continued to follow the cult.
