Nian Fu said: "Hey! Taoist ancestral court, later, made it like this, it is really, it makes people feel emotional, and I can't help but regret it......"

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "You think too much, anyway, what is worshiped is Sanqing, everyone is an old ancestor, and the belief is the same, but some rules and precepts are different, and others are the same, so what's not to do!" ”

Nian Fu smiled and said, "Hey! It's always a little uncomfortable in my heart, after all, what was spread here in the past was Zhengyi and later became Quanzhen, which sounds out of place, but what you said also makes sense, after all, it is normal for Taoist beliefs to have a taste of yin and yang, and the two Taos are also normal! ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "That's not, I told you that there are still five avenues, but the others are now gone, or they will be merged into Quanzhen, and it is still in the middle of the whole to the end, but I think this Zhengyi will still have inheritance in the future!" ”

Nian Fu said: "What are the other three? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "The third: the True Dao Sect. It is Liu Deren who creates a private person, and he advocates that his disciples should cultivate their own virtues, and there are nine very strict precepts in Taoism, which are loyalty and filial piety, honesty and sincerity, purity and innocence, poverty and happiness, hard work and food, living within one's means, not stealing, not drinking, not arrogant, but after the Song Dynasty, the status of Taoism was not so high, and the true Taoism also began to decline. Fourth: Loyalty and filial piety, belonging to a branch of the Zhengyi Sect, the founder is Xu Xun, and many of the teachings of this sect coincide with some views of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and it is a sect created in order to keep up with the development of the time, and although this sect is not very famous, but those scholars in ancient times are very blind to this sect. Fifth: Taiyi Sect, when he was in the Jin Kingdom, he already had a little fame, and the founder was Xiao Baozhen, this sect is very special, Xiao Baozhen just preached at home at first, but then accidentally more and more believers developed, and then it was named "Yiwu Zhenren", and it was also incorporated into the Quanzhen Sect. ”

Nian Fu said: "It's the same, either it's the original, it's the inheritance of the original Zhengyi, or you don't eat the whole truth of wine and meat, and it's okay to divide it into two factions!" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Taoism is the native religion of China, which has a history of more than 1,800 years. Taoism is closely linked to traditional Chinese culture and has had a profound impact on Chinese culture, folk life, science and technology, and other aspects. Taoism is a mystical and secular religion, and at present, Taoism is mainly divided into two major sects: Quanzhen and Zhengyi, what are the differences and connections between them? ”

Nian Fu smiled: "What are the differences and connections? That's what I'm asking......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "The Zhengyi faction was learned by Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Heming Mountain, and was enlightened by Taishang Laojun. Compared with the dual cultivation of Quanzhen's life, the Zhengyi faction is mainly based on the cultivation of talismans, and Zhang Tianshi leads the three mountain talismans of Longhu Mountain, Gesoap Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, so the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi faction mainly draw talismans and chant mantras to drive away evil spirits and subdue demons. Like today's Maoshan faction, Jingming Dao, Heavenly Master Dao, etc., all belong to the Zhengyi faction. ”

Nian Fu said: "Zhengyi can get married and have children, right?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "The Zhengyi faction can get married and have children, so it is not surprising to see news reports that Zhengyi is married." The founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling, passed on the position of Heavenly Master to his descendants, and has been passed down to more than 60 generations of Heavenly Masters. Because the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi faction usually have to do a lot of rituals, such as praying for blessings or dying, they often have to be busy for a few days and nights, which is a very hard physical work, so the Zhengyi priests do not taboo meat, but whether it is Zhengyi or Quanzhen, there are four non-eating sayings, namely: beef, dog meat, mullet, and wild goose, because Taoism believes that these four animals represent loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, if you see a Taoist priest eating beef, then he is a false Taoist. In addition, before holding the Jiao ceremony or doing morning and evening classes, it is necessary to avoid eating raw onions, leeks, garlic, garlic and coriander. Because when the heavenly court summons the gods to send generals, if the mage eats five spices and has a prickly smell in his mouth, it is disrespectful to the gods. ”

Nian Fu said: "What about Quanzhen? I only know that it was founded by Wang Chongyang? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Quanzhen School, also known as Quanzhen Dao, was created by Wang Chongyang at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Chongyang named the nunnery where he lived in Ninghai, Shandong Province Quanzhen Hall, and all those who entered the Tao were called Quanzhen Taoists and got the name "Quanzhen". Later, Wang Chongyang recruited seven disciples, including Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Sun Buer, and Hao Datong, known as the Seven Sons of Quanzhen. The Quanzhen sect believes that ascending to the immortal and immortal life and long-term vision are the goals of cultivation, so they advocate the dual cultivation of life and life when practicing, and mainly focus on refining the inner pill. Therefore, there are many hermits in the Quanzhen School, and many Taoist priests have chosen to practice in Taoist holy places such as Zhongnan Mountain in order to become immortals. The Quanzhen sect has a lot of taboos, and strictly follows the "Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of Chongyang Teaching" to restrain themselves, so the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect generally have to become monks and live in meditation and practice, and abide by the ten directions jungle system. and grow long hair, and not to get married. ”

Nian Fu: "So everyone is a Taoist, how to distinguish their different identities?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Since they are all Taoist priests, how can we distinguish between Zhengyi and Quanzhen Taoist priests from their appearances? Purely from the Taoist robe worn, the Taoist costumes are mainly cyan, thousands of years of vicissitudes, Dao Po basically followed the characteristics of ancient traditional clothing has not changed much. Zhengyi priests are not required to grow their hair, so Taoist priests with modern hairstyles are basically Zhengyi, and they are distinguished by their hats, which in Taoism are called "Taoist scarves". Taoism has nine scarves, namely: mixed yuan scarf, Zhuangzi scarf, pure yang scarf, nine liang scarf, Haoran scarf, Xiaoyao scarf, three scarves, one word scarf, and sun scarf. The Quanzhen Taoist priest mostly wears a mixed yuan scarf, while the Zhengyi wears a nine-beam scarf. The Zhengyi faction is divided into Maoshan, Lingbao, Qingwei, Jingming and other factions, but it is still represented by the Heavenly Master Dao, and customarily, the Heavenly Master Dao is also called Zhengyi. Zongtan Jiangxi Longhu Mountain. The three mountains of Fu Zheng are Longhu Mountain, Mao Mountain, and Gesoap Mountain. Zhengyi is one of the two major schools of Taoism in China in the later period. It is a long-term development in the Heavenly Master Dao and the Dragon and Tiger Sect. ”

Nian Fu said: "Many people believe that the pursuit of the internal cultivation of Quanzhen Taoism is to become an immortal and become an immortal, and Dan will soar. It is a typical practice of selfishness and selfishness. Although the law is feasible, its realm is not high. Is that really the case--what's going on?"
