Quanzhen Taoism was founded by Wang Zhe (1112-1169) in the early Jin Dynasty. Wang Zhe, formerly known as Zhongfu, whose word is Yunqing, whose name is Chongyang Zi, also known as Wang Zhongyang, is from Daxu Village, Xianyang, Shaanxi. At the age of 47, he abandoned his family and became a monk. He dug a hole in Shinan Village, Zhong Nanshan, calling himself "the tomb of the living dead". He is an alchemist inside and pretends to be crazy outside, calling himself "the king is harmful to the wind." In the seventh year of Jin Shizong's Dading (1 167), he set fire to buddhist nun, danced, went east to Tongguan, and went to Shandong Peninsula to teach "Quanzhen". He accepted seven disciples: Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong and Sun Buer. Quanzhen religion soon developed in Shandong. In the ninth year of Dading (1 169), he returned to Shaanxi with four disciples, Qiu, Liu, Tan and Ma, and died on the road. In the early days of Quanzhen religion, the teaching style was hard and simple. Most disciples make a living by begging, do not build temples, and practice and preach in Shan Ye. Quanzhen Taoism advocates putting nature first, life first, and closing one's mind when practicing, so as to achieve the goal of not being born. This is called "seeing your heart and seeing your nature". Then adjust the breath, refine the gas, refine the spirit, and refine the spirit in order. The inherent doctrine of Quanzhen Daoism holds that the human heart is "authentic", that is, Shen Yuan, yuan, sincerity and so on. It is immortal and unchangeable. The foundation of eternal life is built on it. Wang Zhe described that when the Yuan God was refined into the highest realm, the "Yang God" emerged from its shell and ascended to heaven. Taoist Quanzhen explained that the Christian name Quanzhen means to preserve "authenticity". It has also been said that the purpose of Quanzhen Taoism requires the combination of "true work" of individual self-cultivation and "true practice" of helping society. The real merit is the so-called "seeing nature clearly" and "getting rid of lust". Really good, that is, the so-called "shame and dirt, suffering and benefiting others" and so on. Both of them are true.
After Wang Zhe's death, Liu Chuxuan and Qiu Chuji successively took charge of religion, and further developed Quanzhen religion centering on Shandong Peninsula. According to "Quotations from a Journey to the North", Liu Chuxuan "does nothing but do something promising", while Qiu Chuji said that "nine out of ten things are promising, although inaction has one, it still exists, so it is unnecessary". After more than 20 years' development, Quanzhen religion has a deep foundation in Lu Yu, Ji Qin and other places, and it is also heard in Jinting. In the twenty-seventh year of Dading (1 187), Wang Chuyi was called to Beijing to personally ask about the way of keeping in good health. The following year, he invited Qiu Chuji to Beijing and ordered buddhist nun to be located in the west of Wanning Palace, where the emperor summoned him and asked him to preside over the Spring Festival. Quanzhen religion reached its peak. 12 19, Mongolian Genghis Khan sent messengers to summon Qiu Chuji. In his seventies, Qiu Chuji led eighteen disciples to travel tens of thousands of miles to visit Genghis Khan in the snow-capped mountains in the western regions. Genghis Khan's mountain Taoism practiced the art of longevity, and Qiu Chuji advised Genghis Khan for the purpose of Taoist quietism, respecting the people and loving the people, and abstaining from killing. Genghis Khan respectfully called him a "living immortal", making him a "monk in charge of the world" and exempting Taoist priests from taxes. Qiu Chuji returned to the East on 1224 and lived in Changchun Palace, Yanjing. 1227 was buried in Shuntang Palace, which is now Baiyun Temple in Beijing.
Due to the management of Qiu Chuji, Quanzhen religion was in its heyday. The Biography of Shi Lao in Yuan Dynasty said, "There is still a chance to be strict and make it beg for war, because the slaves are rehabilitated and the dangerous ones are rehabilitated, regardless of 20,000 or 30,000 people." Qiu Chuji also said: "Since the Millennium, the door has been wide open, which is not as prosperous as today!" After the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, the cultures of the North and the South gradually merged, and Quanzhen Daoism spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Huang Zijiu, a famous painter in the south of the Yangtze River, is a Quanzhen Taoist priest who lives in Suzhou and Hangzhou to give lectures and preach. At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the biggest activity point of Quanzhen religion in Jiangnan was Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province. Taoist priests such as Lu Dayuan and Jiang Zhenchang went to the mountain to preach Quanzhen religion, restored the temple and attracted many disciples. Li Daochun was originally a disciple of Wang Jinchan, the son of Yu Chan, a southern Sect, and lived in the life of Governor Zhenguan. After entering Yuan Dynasty, he claimed to be a Taoist Quanzhen, and wrote Quanzhen Collection, Xuan Yao Mi and Zhonghe Collection. , is a everybody in the early yuan dynasty. Zhao Youqin lived in Jiangxi and Jiangsu, and his apprentice Chen "traveled all over Yelang, Qiongshui, Chenyang, Jingnan, Ere, Changjiang, Minjiang, and was rewarded by more than 100 people. "The book" The Great Yao "is the masterpiece of Inner alchemy in the Yuan Dynasty. At this point, Quanzhen religion spread all over the north and south, which was extremely grand, and its power was enough to compete with the various factions in Fu You that were gradually United into a large faction at that time. Quanzhen's status is the honor that yuanshi county conferred on Quanzhen's founder. In the sixth year of Zhiyuan (1269), Kublai Khan named Donghua Emperor, Zhong Liquan, Lv Dongbin, Liu Haichan and Wang Zhe as "true kings", and later called "North Five Ancestors"; Wang Zhe's seven disciples were canonized as "real people" and called the "seven truths" of the world. After Quanzhen reached its peak, the teaching style advocated luxury and its influence gradually declined. In the third year of Yuan Dynasty (1335), Wan Yan Deming was appointed as Quanzhen Zhang Jiao, and his successor was not recorded in the historical biography.
In the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen Taoist priest was given the title of Lu Ru Liu Yuanran, while Shao Yigeng was very rare, living in seclusion in Shan Ye and wandering the rivers and lakes. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were many Quanzhen Taoist priests explaining religious places. He Daoquan, the innocent son, lived in Nanshan for many years and then traveled to the southeast. His quotations and poems are recorded in the second volume of Random Adaptation, which is full of words and minds, involving inner alchemy. Wang Daoyuan, the son of Hun, is the author of Tao Xuan Pian, Huanzhen Collection, Notes on Ascending Xuanbao, Notes on Songs of Heaven, etc. To explain the inherent danger.
During the Yongle period, Zhang Sanfeng, the Quanzhen Taoist priest, was called a "living immortal", while Zhang Sanfeng was named Junbao, No.3 Feng, and No.1 Zhang Sloppy. The people of Liaodong Yizhou were "clumsy and magnificent, with turtle-shaped crane back, big ears and round eyes, fierce as a halberd, and withering in cold and heat." He claimed to have been born in Dingzong for three years at the end of Jin Dynasty (1248). He was an official in Boling County, Zhongshan, and later abandoned his official position to become a Quanzhen Taoist priest. He met a real dragon in Zhong Nanshan and taught alchemy to Wudang for many years. A new Quanzhen religion was formed under his door. His works can be found in Wang Xiling's Complete Works of Sanfeng.
The whole truth is authentic. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the "Qizhen" school has seven schools, including Longmen (Qiu Chuji), Suishan (Liu Chuxuan), Nanwu (Tan Chuduan), Yushan (Mayu), Lushan (Wang Chuyi), Jingjing (Sun Buer) and Huashan (Hao Datong). The Longmen Sect was the most powerful, and spread to the Ming Dynasty.
The Dragon Sect of Quanzhen Sect in Qing Dynasty is the image of ZTE, with Changyue Wang, the seventh generation lawyer of Longmen Sect, as the ancestor of ZTE. Changyue Wang,No. Kunyangzi, is a savage in Shanxi. At the age of 20, he traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers and visited the avenues. 1656, when Changyue Wang 134 years old, he was appointed as the abbot of Beijing Baiyun Temple. The emperor shunzhi made him a Buddhist, and Emperor Kangxi converted to the King's Gate. Changyue Wang spread the fatwa widely and traveled long distances to Maoshan in Jiangsu and Wudang in Hubei to give lectures. As a result, Longmen Buddhism spread all over the world. He strictly managed Baiyun Temple, with strict rules and regulations, crowded doors and constant incense, and became the general manager of Quanzhen Dragon Sect, which was recognized as "the first jungle of Quanzhen", and the Dragon Sect flourished in the world.
Quanzhen religion gradually declined in the late Qing Dynasty. 19 12 years, Beijing Baiyun Temple established the all-true national organization "Central Taoist Society".
