Chapter 123: Li Zhe beckons, Taoist gathering
Taoist people believe that everything is governed by a god and believe in gods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to believing that all things have animism and giving rise to nature worship, the ancestors also believed that the soul of a person is immortal after death, so they also gave rise to the worship of ghosts and gods. In fact, there is also a fear of the gods in this.
They believe in Lao Tzu, regard Lao Tzu as the master, and study Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching as a classic.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an epidemic of disease, and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? The Five Elements Chronicles contain several major epidemics during the reign of Emperor An and Emperor Huan, and countless people died.
The Taoist priests used the medicine they had learned to treat the common people, and of course the disease was cured, but they deliberately exaggerated their own merits and declared the benefits of believing in religion.
Generally speaking, among today's Taoists, Yu Ji specializes in dealing with upper-class figures, such as Sun Ce's generals and Wenchen, while Zhang Jiao, Zhang Lu and others often work the common people.
These people are all representatives of Taoism, so Taoism is actually the most powerful religion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Luo Guanzhong also described Zhuge Liang as a Taoist figure, but in fact, Kong Ming himself is a representative figure of both law and Confucianism.
Zhang Jiao, Zhao Yun's hometown, occasionally obtained Yu Ji Laodao's "Taiping Sutra", and if he obtained the treasure, he was called the founder of Taiping Dao.
In his early years, he believed in the doctrine of Huang Lao, and also studied the study of the Wei Wei, which was very popular in the Han Dynasty, and was also very familiar with folk medicine and witchcraft.
After obtaining the "Taiping Sutra", during the Jianning period, Zhang Jiao took his two younger brothers and first started missionary activities in the Jizhou area, where the disaster was particularly serious.
During the Xiping period, he founded the Taiping Dao on the basis of recruiting a large number of students, cultivating disciples, and absorbing disciples.
At the time of Changshan, the folk influence of this sect was very far-reaching. Fortunately, the Zhao family responded in a timely manner, and it took a lot of effort to clean it up, otherwise the war would burn on that land in the future, and the achievements of the Zhao family for many years would be destroyed.
Taiping Taoism is one of the early sects of Taoism, with the mission of overthrowing the decadent and declining Eastern Han Dynasty and establishing a Taiping society.
Its main feature is to take the "Taiping Sutra" as the main classic, and the "Zhonghuang Taiyi" as its supreme god to worship.
Their programs, objectives, doctrines, titles, diocesan organizations, slogans, religious rituals, activities, and methods of preaching are all based on the Taiping Sutra.
Zhang Jiao according to the "Taiping Sutra", "The stars are billions and billions, and it is not as bright as a day; Zhu Tianqun's words are not as good as the country's virtuous and virtuous", claiming to be a great sage and good teacher, and the general leader of Taiping Dao.
His two younger brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, claimed to be great doctors and were also one of the leaders of Taiping Dao. All members of the Taiping Path and their followers who commit a mistake will be forgiven if they bow down before the leader, admit the mistake, and promise not to do it again.
Zhang Jiao often holds a nine-section scepter, and on the basis of traditional folk medicine, he adds water charms and mantras to cure people's diseases.
Using this as a cover, they widely publicized the doctrines and viewpoints of the Taiping Sutra on opposing exploitation and accumulating wealth and advocating equality and mutual love, which won the support of the poor masses.
Zhang Jiao sent eight more disciples to propagate the teachings in all directions. Develop the disciples and "educate the world with good Taoism".
For more than ten years, the Taiping Dao forces spread across the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, with hundreds of thousands of disciples. Mainly poor peasants, but there were also urban craftsmen, individual officials, and even eunuchs.
On this basis, Zhang Jiao also selected the Jiazi Day of the Jiazi Year, that is, the March 5th of the first year of the Ling Emperor Zhongping, according to the thinking method of "Shun Five Elements" in the Taiping Sutra, and according to the theory of the five elements of mutual reciprocity.
He also put forward the loud slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious".
To explain that according to the rise and fall of all things and the law of the evolution of dynasties, the Han Dynasty, the sky, and most of the numbers have been exhausted, as the soil virtue, the earth is yellow, and as the representative of the yellow sky, Taiping Dao should replace the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao received a letter from the super cowman, and the starry night rushed over.
After all, the failure of the Yellow Turban Dao in Changshan Country is known to people who are a little well-informed, and the only person who may not be clear is the buddy sitting on the dragon chair.
Zhang Jiao is not a generous person, if he can step on Zhao Yun and then suppress the Zhao family, why not?
Of course, Yu Ji had long known what the nominal apprentice was doing, but he didn't dare to come forward, because when he knew, the Yellow Turban Dao was in full swing and he couldn't stop.
According to legend, Lao Tzu once made alchemy in the mountain, and there was a Shangqing Palace on the mountain to worship Lao Tzu. There are also ancient buildings such as Taoist temples and Guanxia Qing Palace nearby.
During this period, throughout the year, there is an endless stream of tourists on Shangbi Mountain.
In ancient times, the original name of Bishan was Taibaiyuan, also known as Beimang, lying on the north side of Luoyang, and it was a branch of Kunshan Mountain.
It stretches for more than 190 kilometers from east to west, with an altitude of about 250 meters. Bishan was the emperor's ideal place to bury bones.
The trees are lined up and green like clouds. Dengfu looks into the distance, the victory of Yiluo Erchuan, and you can see it all; In the evening, thousands of lights are lit up like stars in the sky.
"Evening view of Pishan", together with "Longmen Mountain, Horse Temple Bell, Tianjin Xiaoyue, Luopu Autumn Breeze, Copper Camel Dusk Rain, Jingu Spring Clear, Pishan Evening View, Pingquan Morning Tour", is known as "Eight Great Views of Luoyang".
Shangqing Palace, like the private property of Lao Tzu's descendants, his descendants are the biggest boss of Taoism, even Zhang Daoling once studied Taoism here, and he will run to Dongchuan when he feels successful.
The founder of Confucianism, Confucius, and the Confucian temple built by his descendants are held by emperors of all dynasties.
The people of the Li family, adhering to Lao Tzu's consistent quiet and inactive character, never walk outside.
Why do you want to say why He Lian at the beginning, why does Queen He now, why do you want to find Shi Ziyi to raise her own flesh and blood? Without him, because behind Shi Daoren is the Li family, and he is the apprentice of Li Zhe, the master of the Shangqing Palace.
That's right, the convener is Li Zhe. Although the Li family has never been out of the mountain, it is not trivial to involve the inheritance of the sect.
The most important thing is that Shi Ziyi discovered Zhao Yun's attempt and prepared to use Buddhism to deal with Taoism, and returned to the mountain to report the news in the starry night.
During the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism had already faced off once, and the Li family secretly wrote a letter, and more than 1,300 Taoist priests came to Daze, a famous river across the country, which shocked the royal family.
After that, the Li family was also vigilant, feeling that although the royal family needed Taoism, more often than not, they wanted to prolong their lives or have surgery in the room.
As for ruling the common people, it is still the Buddhist set of cultivation that is more useful to the royal family in the afterlife. Besides, you have a lot of Taoist priests, Liu Hong probably has to be vigilant.
At present, unlike in the past, the disaster of the party is not a small number of people who have been killed. If the Taoist people dared to gather in groups, I believe that it would not be difficult for the Spirit Emperor to send troops to kill a few Taoist priests.
The summer was scorching, and it was very cool on the Beibi Mountain, and the people Li Zhe was looking for came one after another. (To be continued.) )
