Zhishi Xingqiu, operated by Shenzhen Dacheng Tianxia Information Technology Co., Ltd., is a platform for content creators to connect with their most dedicated followers and monetize their expertise through high-quality, private communities. Inspired by Kevin Kelly's "1000 True Fans" theory, the service provides tools for creators such as artists, writers, academics, and industry experts to build and manage paid membership groups.
The platform's core function is to solve challenges related to managing paid groups and preserving content. Creators can establish either free or paid 'planets' (circles), setting their own rules and interaction models. These communities can function as interactive forums, Q&A platforms, or channels for exclusive content delivery. All shared materials, including files and discussions, are archived, categorized, and searchable, creating a permanent knowledge base for members. The business model is centered on enabling creators to generate revenue directly from their followers through subscription fees for access to these exclusive communities. The platform was formerly known as Xiao Mi Quan (小密圈).
The parent company, Shenzhen Dacheng Tianxia Information Technology Co., Ltd., was founded on January 27, 2005, with Wu Lujia listed as a key figure.
