Taoist sect - an important sect of Southern Taoism Neidanxue. Founded in the Northern Song Dynasty Zhang Borui, spread in the vast areas of the south.

The faction to:

The cultivation method of "life before sex" is famous. Most of its representatives are from the south, hence the name Nanzong. It is also known as the Ziyang faction and the Tiantai sect.

Zhang Borui (987-1082), the name Pingshu, the name Ziyang. Zhejiang Tiantai people.

"Shaoye Jinshi" is not the first, and then he is a Xu official, because he has offended

"The Law of Burning Letters"

"Sitting tired of Lingnan soldiers". In Chengdu, Sichuan, he met the real person Liu Haichan to teach the truth, so he made "Enlightenment Chapter", passed on the law to Shi Tai, and passed it on to Xue Daoguang, Chen Nan, and Bai Yuchan in turn.

These five were later hailed

"Five Ancestors of the Southern Sect". Because Zhang Borui and others have never been Taoist priests, since Bai Yuchan began to teach the law for Taoist priests, and Bai Yuchan has the most abundant writings and the most powerful way to promote the Dharma, Yu Yan's "Rotten Talks on the Table" believes that the Southern Sect was formed in the Bai family.

In fact, the Danfa passed on by the Bai family is the play of Qing Xiu's thought in the "Wuzhen Chapter", and this lineage is passed down to Xia Zongyu, Yu Yan, etc., and is known as Nanzong in history

"Puritanism". In addition, Nanzong also has the yin and yang ideas of the "Enlightenment Chapter".

"Yin-Yang School". The Yin-Yang School began with Zhang Borui's disciple Liu Yongnian ("The Secret of the Three Vehicles" says that Zhang Borui had two descendant disciples, one is Shi Tai and the other is Liu Yongnian.

Liu passed on Weng Baoguang, Weng Chuanruo was a son, and then passed on Lu Shu, Dai Qizong, Chen Zhixu, and even Lu Qianxu, Peng Haogu, Zhen Shu, Tao Suyan, Qiu Zhaoao, etc. in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In fact, Shi Tai and Xue Daoguang also practiced the Yin and Yang Dan method. Therefore, the Southern Sect takes the dual cultivation of yin and yang as the authentic. Nanzong Xiudan stresses

"Innate posteriority", Zhang Boduan's "Enlightenment";

"The humility and sincerity are deep, just for the humility to know the heart, it is better to smelt the lead first and teach to collect a full house of gold." Ming Peng Haogu commented: "Humility is a matter of sexual merit, and a real belly is a matter of life, both of which have profound meanings. However, people's hearts fluctuate, how to get empty? If you don't refine the lead and convince the qi, first solidify the belly, so that the golden essence of the qi is full of the body, and then do the work of holding one, in order to empty its heart, then the life is double cultivation, the form and spirit are wonderful, and the overhaul is complete. (Qiu Zhaoao's "Notes on the Collection of Enlightenment Chapters") This statement and note indicate the essence of the Southern Sect's cultivation.

Qiu Zhaoao's "Examples of Annotations to the Collection of Enlightenment Chapters" also said;

"In the "Enlightenment Chapter", there are many words and few words." He also said, "Whoever commentates on the "Enlightenment of the Truth."

"It's mostly about fate and a little more about sex." Although the two sects of the north and south both advocate dual cultivation of life, when dealing with the relationship between life in the specific cultivation process, the southern sect obviously focuses on refining form and refining qi.

For example, Shi Tai said: "True essence and vitality, this is the Great Danji." The Southern Sect Yin Yang Dan method is divided into seven steps: concentrating on rest, luck switching, refining the sword, collecting medicine to build the foundation, returning the pill to the fetus, fire talisman warming, and holding the yuan to keep one.

According to its cultivation level, it is actually divided into four layers: building the foundation, refining and refining the gods, refining the gods and returning the gods.

Among them, it is always inseparable from the fire and the wonderful use of medicine, and the elaboration of the fire law and the warmth and nourishment is more detailed than that of the Northern Sect.

Like the Northern Sect, the Southern Sect is also deeply influenced by Buddhist thought, and its cultivation is often mixed with immortals and Buddhas, and it also attaches great importance to refining the heart and refining it, but it is not like the Northern Sect that seeks to refine the heart and refining the heart, but puts it on the fourth level of cultivation, that is, it starts with life and ends with sex work.

The Qingxiu branch of the Southern Sect of Baiyu Toad advocates celibacy and pure cultivation, believing that a body is a complete heaven and earth, and that there is no need to seek external and meaningless

"Self-cultivation, self-cultivation and self-cooking, one grain a day is like millet ran", ("Daozang Ji Yao: Bai Zhenren Collection") Yu Yan believes that the husband and wife in the Danjing actually refer to the two sexes of yin and yang, and these are all owned by the body; He also said: "If anyone knows that I have the sun and the moon in my body, then there is no end to the wonders of going back and forth, only in my body and not for the sake of being far away." The Yin-Yang School gives full play to the idea of Yin and Yang intercourse in the "Enlightenment of the True Chapter", advocating dual cultivation of men and women, that is, taking the same kind of true yang in Kanzhong, in order to make up for the yang that has left the body.

This method of cultivating the Dan is divided into three vehicles. Intermediate and lower rides

"Physical Sex Method"; The best is fine

"Divine Communication", that is, men do not wear wide clothes, women do not untie their belts, men and women sit opposite each other, temperament intersects, and gasification induction, so as to double repair and double supplement, and the benefit is not harmful, and both sides are benefited from the supplement, which is different from the art of collecting and fighting the maid.

In view of the danger that this technique would be misunderstood and go astray, the masters of the Yin-Yang School refused to pass it lightly. The two sects of the north and south converged in the Yuan Dynasty, and their distinction was limited to the Quanzhen sect.

Nan Zongzhi

"Ancestor" was reduced to

"Real person", original

The "Five Ancestors" plus Liu Yongnian and Peng Yan became

"Nan Qizhen". Although the two schools of Yin and Yang and Qing cultivation still maintain independent development in the Danfa, they also have infiltration and integration.

For example, Chen Zhixu's Danfa has the characteristics of connecting the two sects of the north and the south, the Qing cultivation and the yin and yang schools. Nanzong's main Jindan works are: Zhang Borui's "Wuzhen Chapter", "Yuqing Jinzhi Qinghua Secret Text Jinbao Inner Alchemy Formula", "Qijing Eight Veins Examination"; Shi Tai's "Return to the Source"; Xue Daoguang's "Returning Dan to Restore Life"; Chen Nan's "Cui Xu"; Bai Yuchan's "Haiqiong Asks the Dao", "Haiqiong Preaching", "Jinhua Chong Bidan Sutra Secret Purpose", "Haiqiong Bai Zhenren Language"; Xia Zongyu's "Character Mirror", "Yin Fu Jing Handout", "Wuzhen Handout"; Yu Yan's "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi Play", "Yi Wai Biography", "Xuanqi Gate Fu"; Weng Baoguang's "Commentary on the Enlightenment of the Truth", "Commentary on the Enlightenment of the Truth", "Commentary on the Enlightenment of the Truth" (Dai Qi Zongshu); Lu Xixing's "Enlightenment Chapter Preface"; Peng Haogu's "Notes on the Enlightenment of the Truth"; Zhen Shu's "Enlightenment Chapter Wing Note"; Qiu Zhaoao's "Annotations to the Enlightenment of the True Chapter" and so on.
