In fact, most of the Kunlun sects in the world are misinformation, and the Kunlun sect did not come from the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions but originated in the ancient Shandong Linqing Dynasty. Therefore, it is also known as the Linqing faction. The Kunlun sect is not named after the mountain, but after its founder, Master Kunlun. Kunlun master department after Zhou Chai Rong under the general, Chai Rong died when the army was in command, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe added, Kunlun master understood the situation for the righteousness and timely retreat in the ancient Linqing Longtan Temple (here today in Longtan Village, Linxi County, Hebei Province) because of the local war, then taught the villagers and monks martial arts, and because the world at that time the martial arts paid more attention to the fist and ignore the leg method, so the establishment of the Linqing faction, with the ten road Tan leg as the main exercise. Ranked first among the eighteen families of Song Taizu. When Master Kunlun was alive, he once taught the Tan leg to the Hui people. Therefore, the sect is also a branch of the Kunlun faction.

During the Manchu Dynasty, because of their participation in the resistance movement, Linqing was slaughtered, and only about 50 monks escaped. Later, he hid in the Qing Dynasty's palace to inherit martial arts. It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that the Linqing faction appeared in the world again, and it has been passed on to the 99th generation of chrysanthemums. Today, the head of the Linqing faction, Master Sui is a Shiguo, and his proud disciple Master Jiekong Ru is Jihua.

According to the theory, there are five categories: the Jishan School, the Classic School (Miao Zhen Dao), the Fulu School, the Danding School (Jindan School), and the Divination School (Feng Shui, Astrology).

In history, there are also the divisions of the five major sects of Zhengyi Sect (Patriarch Zhang Daoling), Quanzhen Southern Sect (Patriarch Zhang Boduan), Quanzhen North Sect (Patriarch Wang Chongyang), Zhenda Sect (Patriarch Zhang Qingzhi), and Taiyi Sect (Patriarch Huangdong Yi), and the division of the four major sects of Zhengyi, Quanzhen Dao, Lingbao Dao, and Qingwei Dao. There are also the sayings of the eight schools of morality, innateness, Lingbao, Zhengyi, Qingwei, Jingming, Yutang, and Tianxin.

Kunlun faction

The formal distribution of Taoism is generally believed to have begun in the Song and Yuan dynasties. There are 7 major schools that are more influential in the history of Taoism:

Zhengyi: There are Lingbao Sect, Heavenly Master Dao, Pavilion Soap Sect, Lushan Sect, Liuren and so on. 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: Originated from Zhong Liquan and Lu Dongbin's Inner Dan thought, and there are different between the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect. There are many branches, such as the Longmen faction, the Yuxian faction, the Jingming faction, the Nanwu faction, the Suishan faction, the Yushan faction, the Huashan faction, the Qingjing faction, etc.

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

Taiyi: The Jin Dynasty was founded by Xiao Baozhen, a native of Weizhou [now Qi County, Henan], and gradually declined after the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Its religion mainly worships the "One God".

Jingming Dao: Founded in the Southern Song Dynasty, the religion gradually merged into the Zhengyi after the Ming Dynasty.

Shangqing School: The Shangqing School was formed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was named after the special dissemination and practice of the Shangqing Sutra. The Shangqing Sutra is a series of Taoist scriptures derived from the "Huang Ting Sutra", also known as the "Dadong Zhenjing". The Shangqing school takes convincing spirit as the cultivation method, supplemented by cultivating scriptures and cultivating merits.

Wudang faction: Zhang Sanfeng of the Song Dynasty was founded in Wudang Mountain, Junxian County, Hubei Province, which is the sect of the inner family, and the Tao and the martial arts are combined. Enshrine Emperor Zhenwu as the main god.

After the Ming Dynasty, Taoism was mainly divided into two major sects, Zhengyi and Quanzhendao, except for the hidden sect Miao Zhendao, all other sects were grouped under these two sects. The Baiyun Temple in Beijing has the "General Book of Zhuzhen Sects", which lists a total of 87 Taoist sects, and in fact some of them are only continuation of the genealogy, not an independent school. (According to the teachings, it should be 36 heavenly religions and 72 local religions, with a total of 108 sects.) ）

From the above information, it can be seen that the Kunlun sect is an insignificant small sect in Taoism. It's very difficult to find some information about it. But in the martial arts world, the Kunlun faction is a first-class sect.
