Chapter 273 Introduction

"Okay, good, in fact, there is nothing, but the jade card has always been secretly hidden in the Heavenly Master Palace of this sect, if this card disappears, it means that there will be a catastrophe in this sect or this sect, fortunately you come over, the teacher naturally understands and will not specifically ask where you came from, anyway, all this will fall on you, this is a responsibility and an obligation! So it's up to you to decide whether the religion will thrive or decline or die out. And you say you can predict future events? As a teacher, I don't dare to say how many major events there are, and the more major things are, the more cause and effect are involved, so how can I see clearly when the eye of heaven is blinded! Tianjizi was also a little curious, so he also expressed his opinion in this regard, what he was afraid of was that if Wan Qiyang was also because of the big event in the future, if it was contaminated with too much cause and effect, wouldn't it be a bad thing, and he was also thinking about Wan Qiyang.

"Master, don't worry about the apprentice at this point, I don't get contaminated with these causes and effects. And I don't know divination at all, I use other methods, and it's like it's born in my head. Hahaha, Master, why don't I say two things, and you can confirm it? As Wan Qiyang spoke, of course he could casually say a few things that he would have to do in the future.

"Don't, if you let the teacher know, it will naturally be tainted with cause and effect. In that case, it's better, today is the big open day of this sect, according to the regulations, today will be a lecture for believers, it is your senior brother who speaks the scriptures, today he is talking about the "Tao Te Ching", in addition, your senior brother is also his cultivation, but weaker than the second senior brother, your second senior brother is born speechless, so he can't speak, today let him open up the whole body muscles and veins for you, and then let him pass on your internal strength, of course, this is a cheat, you feel the route he took you to dredge the tendons, and then look at the cheats to practice, Now for the teacher, I will talk about the introduction and rules of this religion and this sect, and some things that should be paid attention to outside should be paid attention to, so as not to let the Quanzhen sect look at the jokes. Tianjizi also said it very seriously, and Wan Qiyang was also sitting upright, looking humbly taught.

"The apprentice knows, by the way, I also went to the Baiyun Temple in the capital before I went south from Beijing, and I met the Qingfeng Daoist at that time, and he also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!" Wan Qiyang did this matter by the way, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise made to Daoist Qingfeng at that time.

"Okay, I know, Daoist Aomine is also the leader of the Quanzhen Sect in this sect, you have to have a good relationship with him! You should listen carefully to what the teacher will talk about below, and you will talk about it wherever you want it! The Quanzhen sect is a little different from our Zhengyi faction, and before that, during the Jin Dynasty, the Quanzhen Dao created and directed by Wang Chongyang appeared in the north. Later, Wang Chongyang's disciple Qiu Chuji preached for the Mongolian Genghis Khan, and was so trusted that he was granted the power to supervise Taoism in the world by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, in order to cope with the rapid rise of the Quanzhen Dao, the original Longhushan Tianshi Dao, Maoshan Shangqing School, and Gesoshan Lingbao School merged into Zhengyi, respecting Zhang Tianshi as the leader of Zhengyi, thus formally forming a pattern of Taoism with Quanzhen in the north and Zhengyi in the south. During the Ming Dynasty, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di claimed to be the incarnation of Zhenwu Emperor, and vigorously supported Zhang Sanfeng and his Wudang faction who sacrificed Zhenwu. At this time, Taoism still dominated the various religions in China. Taoist precepts are some guidelines that constrain the thoughts, words and deeds of Taoist priests. The precepts of Taoism have different contents according to different sects. Generally speaking, the precepts of the Quanzhen School are stricter than those of the Fu Zheng School.

The main contents of our righteous precepts are not to kill, not to drink alcohol and eat meat, not to steal, not to commit sexual immorality, and so on. The precepts are mandatory for believers, and there must be an ordination ceremony for a Taoist priest to be counted as a believer. Depending on the severity of the rules, the precepts can be divided into upper, middle, and lower. According to the number of rhythms, there are "three precepts", "five precepts", "eight precepts", "ten precepts", "Laojun twenty-seven precepts" and so on.

The religious activities of Taoism are very complex, mainly divided into two categories, Taoist priests' own practice (called Taoism) and Taoist rituals, including Taoist scriptures, confession, fasting, Jiao, charms, forbidden spells, seclusion, riding the horse, exorcism, subduing demons, subduing demons, eliminating disasters, praying, room in the house, immortal arts, Bigu, feng shui Kanyu, divination, etc. In addition, there are many Taoist techniques in Taoism. For example, Vipassana, meditation, contemplation, and many others. These modern ones are mostly classified as qigong. In addition, many Taoists of Quanzhen practice martial arts. The theory of Chinese medicine is also derived from Taoism.

Taoist rituals are collectively known as "Zhai Jiao Ritual", Zhai means clean, Jiao means prayer, also known as the dojo. Taoism sacrifices to the gods, because the gods are considered to be quiet and pure, so they need to bathe and change clothes before the sacrifice, do not drink alcohol and eat meat, and fast. The sacrificial activities are called "Jiao", and Taoism has absorbed a lot of Buddhist content in the process of exhibition, and there are many names. Taoism believes that through these rituals, it is possible to seek good fortune from disasters. Divination is also a part of Taoism, including divination, drawing lots, word measurement, etc. In addition, Taoism is very distinctive in the use of talismans and urns. Fu are symbols drawn on yellow paper with cinnabar and are believed by Taoism to be used to heal diseases, while the gong is believed to drive the gods. In addition, Taoism believes that reciting forbidden mantras can cure diseases, drive away ghosts and spirits, and drive away wild beasts. These are mostly positive spells. Taoism regards Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi's Nanhua Jing as the two most important classics. In addition, Taoism imitated Buddhism's Tripitaka to create the Taoist Collection, collecting Taoist works from all over the ages, including not only philosophy and Taoist theory, but also works on alchemy, health preservation, disease healing, and qigong.

Our Taoist scriptures collection mainly includes "Orthodox Taoist Collection", "Taoist Collection", "Wanli Continuation Taoist Collection", etc., the number of Taoist scriptures is very large, and the main classics of each school are also different. "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" is the earliest Danjing, known as the ancestor of the Danjing, in addition, "Hug Puzi" is also the basic classic of the Taoist Danding School. The Taiping Sutra and Lao Tzu Xiang'er Notes are also the main classics of early Taoism. "Huang Ting Jing" and "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" are the main classics of the Shangqing Jing Zheng School, and the Maoshan School is also very important. The "Duren Sutra" and the "Three Emperors' Text" are the main classics of the Lingbao School and the Three Emperors School. The Yin Fu Jing and the Changqing Jing Jing Jing are also two very important scriptures of Taoism, and they are the scriptures that Taoist priests must recite and study. In addition, the Jade Emperor Sutra and the Heart Seal Sutra are also one of the daily lessons of Taoists.

Although our Taoist Southern Sect Zhengyi faction is mainly based on Fu Gong, Zhai Jiao, and Keyi, after the Northern Song Dynasty, it also advocated three teachings and one principle, cultivated Neidan, and appeared classics such as "Wuzhen Sutra" and "Jindan Four Hundred Words". The Quanzhen School of Taoism advocates the integration of the three religions, refining qi and all minds, seeing the nature of the heart, and integrating Confucianism, with the three classics of "Tao Te Ching", "Filial Piety Sutra" and "Prajna Heart Sutra", advocating "filial piety and purity, honesty and simplicity".

The distribution of Taoism is generally believed to have begun in the Song and Yuan dynasties. There are 5 major schools of Taoism that are more influential in the history of Taoism:

Zhengyi: There are Lingbao factions, Zhengyi factions, and Jingming factions below

Quanzhen Dao: There are also southern sects and northern sects. There are also many tribes, such as the Longmen faction, the Yuxian faction, the Nanwu faction, the Suishan faction, the Yuanshan faction, the Huashan faction, the Qingjing faction, etc.

True Dao Sect: Founded during the Jin Dynasty, it gradually declined after the Yuan Dynasty.

Taiyi: Founded during the Jin Dynasty, it gradually declined after the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Jingmingdao: It was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is still okay.

At present, Taoism is divided into two major sects, the Zhengyi and the Quanzhen Dao, and all other sects are grouped under these two sects. Zhengyi: Zhengyi is the five buckets of rice road in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which was later renamed Tianshi Dao, Zhengyi. Its Taoist priests can practice at home, do not abstain from meat, and can marry and have children. Its Taoist temple is generally called the "Temple of Descendants". Quanzhen Dao: Quanzhen Dao flourished in the Jin and Yuan dynasties and was the largest and most important of the Song and Yuan New Taoist sects. Representative Wang Chongyang, Qiu Chuji. The Quanzhen Tao emphasizes pure cultivation, and its Taoist priests must be monks and vegetarians. Its Taoist temple is generally known as the "Ten Directions Jungle". ”
