What is Taoism?
Taoism is China's native religion, with the development of Chinese civilization and development, with the origin of our nation and origin, early mixed with primitive religious worship such as ancestor worship, ghost and god beliefs, primitive philosophy, fairy magic, etc., gradually evolved into a religion, from the beginning of the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Fuxi painted gossip, the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang assisted the Han Gaozu to set the rivers and mountains, and obtained the military book in Huangshi Gong, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling Patriarch created the Tao of the Heavenly Master; Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy contains their understanding of Taoism; Sun Simiao, the medicine king of the Tang Dynasty, started from the study of foreign Dan and carried forward China's traditional medicine; the poet immortal Li Bai visited Taoism and converted to Taoism in Jinan, Shandong, and his poems were elegant and leisurely and became immortals; at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Chongyang created the whole true Tao, and the ancestor of Qiu Chuji stopped killing the whole truth with a word; at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng performed Tai Chi in Wudang, and the Tai Chi culture has spread all over the world so far.
Taoism has always been closely related to the development of Chinese civilization and deeply rooted in traditional culture.
Therefore, Xingyang summarized Taoism as follows: it arose in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, spread it to King Wen Laozi, gathered in the hundreds of schools of thought, became a teacher in the first day, the Tao was in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the virtue was covered in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the rules were established in the Chongyang Patriarch, preached in Qiu Zu's westward journey, fell in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and heard in today's world.
In the textbook, you will not be sued that Wei Zheng is a Taoist, nor will you be sued that Li Bai is a Taoist, nor will you be sued that Sun Simiao is a Taoist, and will not be sued that Wang Xizhi is basically a Taoist family, and will not sue you The Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi can be regarded as the origin of Taoism, and the only thing they want to sue you in the textbook is what they want to tell you, just what the media shows you, but the part they want to show you, deliberately ignores a part, neither denies his existence, nor affirms his existence, and the truth behind history needs to be pursued by ourselves。
For a long time, there has been a habit of separating Taoism into Taoism and Taoism, everything that is progressive is Taoism and has nothing to do with Taoism, everything that is Taoist is feudal superstition, and a superstitious religion has been established under the banner of Taoism. Taoism and Taoism are like one person, can you completely separate a person's soul from his body?
Taoism originated in the ignorant period of our civilization, and the three emperors and five emperors are the origin of Taoism. The Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, can not get rid of the traces of Taoism, the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, including up to the Son of Heaven, down to the common people, in fact, is a political and religious regime, the Son of Heaven is ordered by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is exercising the right of religion, the whole nation is based on Taoism, including the sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth, that is, the so-called respect for the ancestors of the heavens; the whole world is not the king's land, the Son of Heaven is to manage this land for the sky, this heaven, is the Tao, this Son of Heaven, is the moral representative; from a broad point of view, before the Han Dynasty, everyone was a Taoist, religion is life, life is religion, the Son of Heaven is the head of Taoism, on behalf of the heavens。
To the Qin unified the world, broke the original system, the Han Dynasty, but after the cultural destruction of the cultural system, although the emperor is still the Son of Heaven, but the Spring and Autumn Period and the end of the Warring States period brought hundreds of schools, so that the belief system is confused, we don't know what to believe, and our current state is very similar, the original system has been broken, and a new system must be established.
Where did Taoism go, Taoism from the Son of Heaven, in the Han Dynasty was lowered to the people, Zhang Daoling's patriarch founded Taoism is a turning point from the official to the people, when Zhang Liang got the Huangshi Gong's biography, is the legacy of Taoism at the top, hundreds of years of changes, Taoism to the people.
Taoism once wanted to go to the Son of Heaven class again, this is the Yellow Turban Rebellion that we can't avoid, and it is also Taoist, but the people in power will not tolerate the competition of the new authorities, and naturally go to the road of ruin. Since then, Taoism has cut off the possibility of the Son of Heaven being in charge of the teaching, and has descended from the class of the Son of Heaven to the class below the scholars, there are emperors who believe in Taoism, prime ministers who believe in Taoism, empresses who believe in Taoism, and even emperors who convert to Taoism, but they have never been the Son of Heaven who is in charge of teaching; and even in the Ming Dynasty, Taoism went from the sage class to the sorcerers and completely fell into the position.
The stage when the Son of Heaven is in charge of teaching is called Taoism, and the stage when the Son of Heaven is not in charge of teaching is called Taoism, both of which are different stages of Taoism. Governing the country with Taoism is for Taoism, and Taoism for all people is for Taoism.
