Quanzhen road
Quanzhen religion is the mainstream sect of Taoism. It inherited the teachings of Professor Hua and Professor Zhong You, and began to live in the auxiliary emperor. For the truth and self-interest of Zhuangzi as a whole. Wang Sou, founder of Kaizong, was born in Xianyang, Shaanxi. In his early years, he should be the champion of martial arts, enter the official position, and then resign and retire. In the fourth year of Zheng Long's reign (1 159), he met a fairy in Ganhe Town and got the recipe for Han Zhongli and Lv Dongbin at that time. He lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan for three years. During the Dading period, he went to Shandong to preach. Seven disciples, including Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong and Sun Buer, were recruited, collectively known as Quanzhen Seven.
Quanzhen Daoism has made great achievements in expounding Inner alchemy. During the decline of Taoism in Ming and Qing Dynasties, only Quanzhen Dragon School was once "revived", and most other Taoist schools, such as Zhengyi School, declined. Quanzhen religion not only comprehensively and profoundly inherited the traditional Taoist thought, but also rearranged the Taoist cultural treasures such as rituals, commandments, symbols and pills. It laid the foundation for Taoism today. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it spread widely all over the country, even in remote areas such as northeast, southwest and northwest.
Tianshidao
Shitiandao is also known as the way of one road and one alliance.
Taoism in Shi Tian was founded by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, and he wrote Old Xiangzi Jules, which laid the foundation for the later development of Taoism. Later, after his grandson Zhang Lu reformed the cult and Cao Cao worshipped him as the general of Zhennan, Taoism began to spread to the north. The fourth generation of Zhang Daoling Sun moved the missionary area from Qingcheng Mountain to Longhu Mountain, and Taoism began to develop in the southeast of China.
Shitian Road was jointly created by Zhang Daoling, Zhang Heng and Zhang Lu. At that time, in Bashu area, the primitive Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft and worshipped the people on a large scale. And these Dharma masters who worship ghosts and gods (scientific name: evil spirits) gather people to collect money and do evil. Zhang Tianshi took two apprentices, Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, and the Huangdi Jiuding Dan Jing to practice in Beimang Mountain, and put down the witch religion that harmed the people. This is the prototype of Zhang Tianshi's story of breaking the ghost soldiers with the sword of the old gentleman, which spread in Sichuan and Chongqing. According to the Records of Later Han Dynasty and Ji of the Spirit Emperor, Zhang is a witch in Ba County and a lich in Ba County.
With the establishment of Zhengyi Taoism, Taoism began to appear in the form of teaching, which was different from the previous Fangxian Taoism, and regarded Taishang Laojun as the highest belief, laying the foundation for thousands of years of Taoist history.
