The associations of good-doing (Chinese: 行好的; pinyin: Xínghǎode) are organised groups of the indigenous religion of Hebei province (河北民间宗教 Héběi mínjiān zōngjiào or 河北民间信仰 Héběi mínjiān xìnyǎng), or the "Pear Area" of China.^[1] The Congregation of the Dragon's Name (龙牌会 Lóngpái Huì) is one of these movements of good-doers.^[2][3]

Xinghaode associations organise temple festivals and pilgrimages for the worship of certain deities, as well as other types of collective activities.^[4] Their purpose is to make rènào (热闹), that is "social living" or "social harmony".^[5]
