Taoism-the indigenous religion of China.
Taoism is a religion developed on the basis of religious belief in ancient China, which has the characteristics of national thought and belief. On the one hand, its belief stems from the primitive religious consciousness of ancient China society, or the illusory reflection of early human beings on natural phenomena, and the concept that everything is animistic and the soul is immortal; On the other hand, it is the totem worship and ancestor worship of ancestors; Secondly, the worship of ghosts and gods in myths and legends. Taoism in China has been developing for more than 800 years since it was founded/kloc-0, and its sects have multiplied and become the state religion of China. Qingcheng Mountain has also become the ancestral home and holy land of Taoism. Since Taoism spread to the west in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, its influence has spread all over Southeast Asian countries. Now, as the doctrine and theory of Taoism in China, it mainly comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching. Laozi's theory of "Tao" has long been the spiritual wealth of all mankind.
Qingcheng Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism in China.
Qingcheng Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism in China. In A.D. 143, Zhang Ling, the founder of Taoism, came to Chicheng Cliff House in Qingcheng Mountain and founded the "Five Mi Dou Daoism", namely Shitiandao, based on the pre-Qin "Huang Lao Theory". In the "feathering" mountains of Zhang Ling, Qingcheng Mountain is named as the birthplace of Taoism and the ancestral mountain and ancestral home of Taoism.
During the Han and Jin Dynasties, Taoism gradually flourished. Fan Changsheng, the prime minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, moved to Qingcheng Mountain and later helped Li Xiong establish the regime of the Han Dynasty. Shu was stable and prosperous for a while, and Taoism in Shi Tian became the spiritual pillar of Han regime and Shu people.
In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism in China entered its heyday, especially Qingcheng Mountain. Tang Xizong named Qingcheng Mountain as the Duke of Yi Xi, worshiped the grass, and ordered Qingcheng Mountain to repair the Lingbao Dojo. On Sunday, 2,400 temples were set up (Taoist priests set up altars). At this point, the development of Taoism in China entered its heyday, with more than 40 Taoist temples in the mountains, which have evolved into seven sects. In the late 9th century, Du Guangting, a Taoist scholar, made an in-depth study of various schools of Taoism and became a master. He lived in Qingcheng for nearly 30 years and wrote about 30 books and more than 250 volumes. He is a master of Taoist theory, which has influenced the famous Taoist mountains in China and Southeast Asian countries and become one of the "Taoist leaders".
Taoist music of the Five Dynasties entered the court, and the guqin music "Running Water" recorded by Qingcheng Taoist Zhang Kongshan was recorded on a gold-plated record by the United States on 1977, and was taken into space by the "Voyager II" spacecraft to search for human bosom friends in the vast universe.
Now, Qingcheng Mountain is still the main place to promote Taoist culture in China. On 1995, the Chinese Taoist Association held the second lecture ceremony of Quanzhen religion in China, and the abbots of famous Taoist mountains in China attended the lecture. Fu Yuantian, abbot of Qingcheng Mountain and president of Chinese Taoist Association, was elected as the successor of the 23rd generation Fu Yuantian barrister of Quanzhen Temple.
Zhang Ling, founder of Qingcheng Mountain Taoism
Zhang Ling was born in a family in Jiangsu who believed in the Yellow Emperor and Lao Zi. In the 10th year of Yongping in 98 A.D., Zhang Ling and his disciples went to Yunjinshan and taught the Huangdi's nine alchemy. In Yunjin Mountain, they practiced Huang Dan and Atractylodes macrocephala, and after three years, they became Taiqing Shen Dan, known as "Dragon and Tiger Dan Tai". According to legend, after the refining of Longhu Dan Tai, the mountain was in the shape of Longhu, so Yunjin Mountain was changed to Longhu Mountain, and the time was 126. Before and after the founding of Christianity, he wrote and completed 24 books, such as Yellow Book and Taoist Book, and used the hidden water to cure diseases and develop Christians.
One night when Zhang moved to Qingcheng Mountain Cave, he fought fiercely with the eight ghosts and evil factions in Qingcheng Mountain area. He wore a yellow robe, a sword, a seal and a symbol. Later, he was called Shi Tianjian, Shi Tian Seal and Shi Tian Symbol, and became the most important secret token of Taoism in Shi Tian. After the defeat of the battle, the eight ghosts and six demons in Qingcheng Mountain were transformed and assimilated by Shi Tiandao. Now the "magic stone", "pen-throwing trough" and "heart-washing pool" on Qingcheng Mountain are legends after the battle at that time. After Zhang Ling gained a firm foothold in Qingcheng Mountain, he established a religious organization of Wudou Midao in Shi Tian. Later, inspired by the legend of Mishima in Buzhou, Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling conceived 36 caves and 72 blessed lands in Taoism. The so-called paradise is full of legendary famous mountains and rivers in China. He also made a yellow robe for Tianshi Taoism, and personally made teaching systems such as French printing and Taoist rules. As a result, Zhang Ling Tianshi Wudou Mi Daoism has been continuously influenced by Southeast Asia and some western countries since its establishment, and has become a traditional religion in China-Taoism.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the alchemy of Qingchengshan reached its peak. The annals of the Ten Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period contains: "Shen, a descendant of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Xun, who cultivated Qingcheng Mountain, wrote several volumes of Shen Yi Lun, and I am sure that one volume is needed." Since modern times, many Taoist inner alchemists have come to Qingcheng Mountain to live and practice. Li Jie, a free and unfettered Taoist priest, has also come to Qingcheng Mountain many times to practice Neidan.
Health maintenance
Health-preserving culture is one of the essences of traditional culture in China. China's ancient book Shang Shu Hong Fan listed "longevity" as the first. Taoism has inherited this tradition and become a religion that loves life and pursues longevity.
Taoist health theory pays attention to the conditioning of the mind, emphasizes sound personality and psychological cultivation, and advocates spiritual civilization and moral self-discipline.
After 1950, Taoist music developed in various Taoist temples, and folk Taoist altars basically disappeared, but a few Taoist priests were still active in rural areas. From 65438 to 0979, the Taoist Association of Qingcheng Mountain resumed its activities and held activities in Qingcheng Mountain every year.

Zhang Renfeng, a monk from Beifei Temple, took a fancy to this treasure, went up the mountain to drive away the Taoist priests and occupied the palace view. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, believed in Taoism and Buddhism after he ascended the throne. The Taoist priest who was driven down the mountain sued the court and sued the temple monks for occupying the Taoist temple of Qingcheng Mountain. In the 12th year of Tang Kaiyuan (724), on December 11th, Li Longji issued an imperial edict, ordering "to return the Taoist temple and set it outside the mountain to distinguish it from the Buddhist temple".
