That is, Taoism advocates the combination of man and nature, the pursuit of inner peace of a realm, in the cultivation of Taoism, the cultivators did not deliberately take Taoism as a kind of inheritance, the people of the world, resulting in many true classics of Taoism failed to pass down, it is taking advantage of this opportunity that Buddhism gradually emerged, began to spread throughout the Central Plains.

In 1258, in the debate between "truth" and "Buddhism" in Yuan Dadu, Taoism was defeated by foreign Buddhism due to the lack of theoretical spirit, and lost to Buddhism in public, which fully shows that Taoism has been inferior to Buddhism in terms of talent quality, and the prosperity of a religion is actually a contest of talents in essence, and it is impossible to gather all kinds of outstanding talents like Buddhism, and it is inevitable that Taoism will decline.

Aside from the deliberate conversion of most emperors and upper-level bureaucrats to Buddhism since the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the shortcomings of Taoism in the process of its own development: for example, the development of Taoist principles, doctrines, philosophies, and fasting rituals has stagnated, and there is almost no innovative development, which is also an important reason for the decline of Taoism.

To investigate the root cause of the decline of Taoism, the essence and the dross coexist in the teachings and practices of the Taoist tradition, and the right and the wrong are equally emphasized, contradicting each other and forming a paradox.

The doctrine of immortals in Taoism, the Waidan Taoism about immortality, the calculation theory of divination and divination with "Zhou Yi" as the core, and the theory of yang and yin houses, choosing feng shui, changing life, avoiding evil, it is difficult to keep up with the pace of the times in the reality of later social development, in this regard, Taoism is far inferior to Buddhism, and it is even less able to catch up with Catholicism and Christianity.

There is also a very important reason, that is, the alchemy of Taoism was not mature in ancient times, and many monarchs died by taking pills, which further damaged the reputation of Taoism from the side and made people think that he was a cult.

In history, Tang Taizong, who had outstanding historical contributions, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, all died in a large number of Taoist alchemy to practice the "golden pill", after the death of Tang Taizong in 649 AD, the successor Tang Gaozong immediately drove the Taoist priest out of the court (this is similar to Ming Shizong and Yongzheng passed away, the successor Ming Muzong and Emperor Qianlong immediately expelled the Taoist priest from the palace, how similar), in 653, the Tang Dynasty issued a decree strictly prohibiting Taoist priests and others to treat others, and there were similar regulations in subsequent dynasties.

By the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, Taoism had basically been completely expelled from the Qing court and completely isolated from politics. Therefore, the gradual decline of Taoism in modern times is the final result of some reasons caused by successive dynasties.

Finally, I will summarize a little, but there is one thing I admire Taoism, that is, going down the mountain to save the world in troubled times, and cultivating the Tao in the Taiping, which is much better than some sects that open the mountain and establish a sect in the troubled times and close the door to protect themselves in the troubled times.

。。。。。。。。

After sitting and chatting with Manli for a while, I sent her back to the house to rest.

It was close to three o'clock in the morning, and I was sitting silently in the store, thinking about everything that had happened since today.

At the end of the day, I felt like my worldview was about to collapse, and just when I thought I was finally going to live a normal life, I didn't expect this to happen suddenly!

Although I didn't encounter any great danger this time, it was obvious that someone was eyeing me, and Brother Yu was just a substitute for the dead.

This time, judging from the performance of Uncle Pan and Brother Haojie, I know that it is definitely not a Shishen, and there may be something waiting for me in the back.

But the question also arises, who is it? I never seem to have offended anyone, let alone a Japanese......

Wait a minute!

When I think of the Japanese, I suddenly thought that I saw a lot of Japanese corpses in the ancient well, and in the Li family in the southwest, they also once said that there is a remnant cherry blossom society in Japan, it seems that they have been coveting that ancient sword, if you count it like this, is it because of that sword......

But now the sword is no longer on me, I'm just an ordinary flat-headed commoner.

Alas, the more I think about it, the more chaotic it becomes......

I sat silently in the store until dawn, and before I knew it, I fell asleep on the counter.

As I fell asleep, I suddenly felt a tightness on my body, and when I looked up, I found that I had been covered with a piece of clothing at some point.

I knew that this must have been done by Su Su, and I couldn't help but feel a warm heart, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, after all, now that I have been targeted, there may be something waiting for me in the back, Li Su is here, I feel that he is very dangerous, maybe she should go back to Qingdao first, so that it will be much safer.

But with Li Su's temper, I have also said it, but she is not willing to leave.

I felt a headache when I thought about the mess, and just as I was distraught, there was a slight knock on the door outside the shop.

It's only half past six in the morning, so who can be okay at this early age? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be full of vigilance, and I didn't open the door immediately, but found out the outside monitoring from the computer, and when I opened the monitoring, I found that it was Liu Lizhen who came!

As soon as I saw that it was her, I quickly opened the door of the shop.

After Liu Lizhen walked in, she said straight to the point: "I got the news from the driver who followed the car, my husband got up this morning and left, and he will probably come back in the afternoon, so let's hurry up and take a look now, okay?" It's easy to talk about money! ”

Since Liu Lizhen is so anxious, I naturally don't have much to say, after all, saving a family is also a merit for me!

Now the problem is that I didn't sleep all night last night, and Manli is also exhausted, everyone is tired now, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble if anyone goes, so I decided to go by myself and let Manli stay and watch the store.

But when Manli knew that I was going to Liu Lizhen's house, she shook her head directly: "Brother Xiaohe, that place is very weird, so I will take care of each other with you!" ”

Seeing that she kept insisting, I had no choice but to agree, but I had already made a plan in my heart, if anything happened this time, it would all be done by myself, and Manli only needed to help on the side!

First of all, I asked Liu Lizhen's husband's birthday, and then made a paper figure stand-in for him.

To be honest, it's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I always feel weird when I do it, and I don't have any talent for the skill of painting, so the villain I painted, I can only say that it is coarser and uglier than my brother Yu......

Of course, this kind of thing is just a small stand-in.,It's almost the same if it's like it.,It's all fools anyway!
