The Buddha statue of Buddhism is golden, unpretentious, solemn and without beard, which symbolizes that Buddhism is a young and energetic religion. Taoist idols wear robes, gold and silver, and long beards are fluttering.
Buddhism stresses three dharma seals, four noble truths, twelve karma, and six degrees of movement. It is a religion that was born and joined WTO. Taoism, on the other hand, focuses on the belief in immortals, pursuing "immortality" and "keeping in good health to become a god". Therefore, it is a natural religion to attach importance to alchemy, nourishing qi, five lines of gossip and magic.
Buddhist monks and nuns shave three thousand troubles, wear "dung-sweeping clothes", Lohan shoes, three clothes and a bowl, and live a rigorous and simple life. Taoists are disheveled and have long beards, and their costumes were not customized before the Jin Dynasty. It was not until the Southern Dynasties and Lu Dynasty that Taoist costumes began to be institutionalized and had certain specifications. For example, "Fairy Sword" said: "The number of Taoist costumes is fixed, the moon is covered with a star scarf, the sleeves are covered with a dress, and the ten unique flags are here." In addition, there are five orders of Taoist robes, so as to distinguish between noble and noble. Different ceremonies wear different robes, and they are also customized. Now Taoist costumes include robes, vests, vests, floral skirts, scarves and so on. This also shows its simple and plain style.
Buddhist monks and nuns live in monasteries, monasteries and lecture halls. Musical instruments used in daily life include chimes, chimes, wooden fish, clanging hafnium and cymbals. The places where Taoist priests practice are called palaces, temples or temples. Among the instruments they use, swords and mirrors are important magic weapons to eliminate evil spirits and disasters. There are so-called three-spindle mirrors, that is, three kinds of metal mirrors of heaven, earth and man. They have a fixed size and need to be cast according to law.
Since the establishment of Taoism in the Han Dynasty, Taoism has never been divorced from "Chinese religion" and it is impossible to become a world religion. The reason is that it is too superstitious. In modern times, Taoism can only deal with folk superstitions with fasting as a symbol, and it is even more declining. There are temples in Taiwan Province Province, but it is difficult to find Taoist priests. Although the history and content of Taoism are mostly related to falsehood and absurdity, it has also contributed to health care medicine, smelting and casting, and folk worship of goodness. Therefore, while studying Taoism, we should treat it with respect.
