Let's talk about basic exercises first. These are the basic skills for getting started. No matter what school or faction, we should understand them.
1, "Tai Shang Induction": "Tai Shang Induction" is a Taoist classic. Its main content is to persuade people to abide by moral norms, always stop evil, cultivate good, and be selfish and altruistic. The "Tai Shang Huang" here means "Tai Shang Huang", also called Tai Shang Huang, so whoever moves him says he should answer. Good and evil move the world, and there will be retribution. " Induction is a book to persuade people to do good. Tai Shang Induction is a very important article, which is known as "the first good book in ancient and modern times". This book originated from Bao Puzi, which was carried forward by Li Changling, Zheng Qingzhi and other sages in the Song Dynasty, spread all over the world and had far-reaching influence. From the imperial court to the people, there were many publishers, which reached their peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The essay "Induction" aimed at persuading the good, whose author is unknown, incorporates more traditional national ideas and sets up a correct character image of the world. Many contents still have positive significance today.
2. Tao Te Ching: Tao Te Ching is a philosophical work of Laozi (Li Er) in the Spring and Autumn Period, also known as the moral truth, with 5,000 words and 5,000 articles by Laozi. It was a work of China before the separation of the pre-Qin philosophers in ancient times. It was highly praised by the philosophers at that time and was an important source of Taoist philosophy.
The Tao Te Ching takes the philosophical meaning of "virtue" as the main line, and discusses the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using troops and keeping in good health, mostly for the purpose of politics. It is the so-called "inner sage and outer king" theory, which has profound meaning and wide tolerance and is known as the king of all classics.
Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest works in the history of China, which has a profound influence on traditional philosophy, science, politics and religion.

4. Zhuangzi: Zhuangzi, also known as Nanhua Jing, Zhuangzi, Yijing, Four Classics of Huangdi, Laozi and The Analects of Confucius, are several original classics of the Chinese nation. They are not only important carriers of morality and culture, but also the wisdom crystallization of ancient sages through self-cultivation, enlightenment and the unity of man and nature. Zhuangzi and other Taoist thoughts are the only doctrines regarded as official learning and Taoism except Confucianism in history.
5. The Book of Changes: The Book of Changes refers to Lianshan in Xia Dynasty, Tibet in Shang Dynasty and Zhouyi in Zhou Dynasty, which are collectively called the Book of Changes. Among them, Lianshan and Guizang have been lost, and only Zhouyi has been handed down from generation to generation. In essence, The Book of Changes is a book about change. The Book of Changes is an outstanding representative of China traditional culture. Vast, subtle and all-encompassing, it is also the source of Chinese civilization.
6. Taiping Jing: The idea of Taiping Jing basically maintained Laozi's point of view. In the understanding of everything. He inherited the philosophical thought of Taoist vitality theory in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and believed that the origin of the world was vitality, and everything was produced by the change of vitality. At the same time, he also put forward the viewpoint of "neutralization between the sun and the moon". In politics and social morality, politically, it advocates equality of wealth. In practice, I advocate anti-book. The combination of Confucianism and Taoism advocates "loyalty and filial piety" in social morality. At the same time, it further puts forward the idealistic view of "harmony between man and nature" The contents of Taiping Jing are complex, involving heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten prescriptions, disasters and immortals, which have a far-reaching influence on the development of Huang Lao-dao's thought and occupy an extremely important position in the history of Taoist thought.
As for the methods of practicing qi, guiding, introspection, thinking, learning from the scriptures, enlightenment, external alchemy, etc., they are all very profound and have no reason to comment, but I can provide you with some books, and enlightenment deduction can also be supplemented, depending on your wisdom and chance. These methods are best guided by famous teachers, because some will have different situations after learning to a certain extent.
The method of activating qi is also called "taking qi", "eating qi" and "refining qi". One of the practices of early Taoism. It refers to a method of health maintenance and internal repair, which is mainly based on breathing, often supplemented by guidance and massage. Generally speaking, there are two types: external interest law and internal interest law. Its key point is to use my heart to make me angry, nourish my body and attack my illness, thus prolonging my life. Taoist practice attaches importance to the effect of qi on human body, and believes that everything in the world needs qi to maintain life. The book "Recording and Regulating Qi" says that "when people are in the qi, the qi will be born, and when it dies, it will die". The Taiping Jing says, "Those who want to live a long life should love Qi, respect God and pay attention to essence", and "Therefore, scholars should cultivate Buddhism and eat Qi first". Ge Hong also believes that "taking medicine is the foundation of longevity. If you can still exercise qi, you will soon benefit." If you can't get the medicine, but do your best, you will be hundreds of years old. "There are many ways to promote Qi in the world. Only the seven signs of Yun Qi contain dozens of methods of Qi in various countries. The specific procedures are different and the principle is basically the same. When you are asked to breathe, you should concentrate on it, concentrate on making it soft, breathe and exhale, light, slow, even, long and deep. Light, light breathing; Slow, slow-moving air; Even, the breathing rhythm is thick and thin; Long, long breathing interval, suck the air into the nose, close it, mentally calculate the yin, 30 ~ 50 or even 120, and then spit it out slowly; When the qi is deeply closed, the qi permeates the fu-organs and lungs and deep tissues. It is said that after a long period of gas refining, the best state of gas not flowing nose can be achieved. For example, when the baby is in the mother's womb, it is called "fetal interest". Promoting qi circulation is supplemented by guidance and massage. Guide, that is, forcibly move the limbs for pitching, flexion and extension, "guide the gas to be harmonious, and lead the body to be soft." "Massage, that is, rubbing, pinching, pushing and rubbing, acts on the meridians and acupoints of the human body to relax tendons and activate collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and make the circulation of qi more effective.

Guidance was originally an ancient regimen. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were two kinds of two-bird dramas, namely "Bear Classic" and "Bird God", which combined with "Blowing".
1. Health record: Hua Tuo's "Five Birds Play" was recorded, imitating five kinds of birds and beasts, such as tiger, bear, deer, ape and bird, and compiled a set of guiding procedures. This kind of "five-animal play" is also recorded in the orthodox Taoist book "Taishang Laojun's Health Preservation", which was given to Guangling Wupu by Hua Tuo. This guiding technique has been passed down from generation to generation, and Zhou of the dynasty wrote "Chifeng Sui" and "Immortal Immortal Scripture".
2. In Bao Puzi Miscellaneous English, nine kinds of guiding names are recorded, such as dragon guiding, tiger guiding, bear sutra, turtle swallowing, snake bending, bird stretching, tiger syndrome and rabbit fright, but no specific methods are recorded. Liang Tao Hongjing's "Life-preserving and Longevity-prolonging Record Guided Massage" not only records several massage techniques, but also records several guiding techniques such as "Wolf sitting on the couch and watching birds", and draws a volume of "Guide Health-preserving Map" (which has been lost).

There are few books on Vipassana in the market. Vipassana is a method of Taoist cultivation of mind and nature, which has the following functions.
First, look inside. No woman can get rid of Xuanlan? To the extreme, keep quiet. Everything is restored as my work-Tao Te Ching
People who travel abroad don't know the inner view of things. People who travel abroad seek to be prepared for things and see that people inside are satisfied with their bodies. -Liezi Zhong Ni [1]?
Second, the internal vision. "Ganjin Fang Yao" says: "We should always learn the observation method of Huangdi's Neijing, constantly think and miss, so that the five internal organs can be seen as hanging (ancient musical instruments). The five colors are distinct, don't stop (stop). "

Thinking, also known as thinking and thinking, that is, meditating on the image of the gods, is an important spell in the fasting ceremony. Thinking in memory was originally a popular health preserving technique in Han dynasty, which was used to cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's sexuality. Taoism also adopts the concept of existence as a cultivation spell, which has become the bulk of Taoist spells.

Pioneering, that is, "crossing the valley", originated from "not eating five grains" in Taoist health preservation, and was a common way of health preservation in ancient times. It originated in the pre-Qin period and was popular in the Tang Dynasty. Also known as "Valley Valley", "Valley Valley Valley", "Valley Valley", "Valley Valley" and "Hugh Valley". The earliest record of Bigu originated from Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour: "The mountain shot by the ancients is inhabited by immortals. If the skin is ice and snow, it is like a virgin, not eating grains, sucking wind and drinking dew, traveling around the world by flying dragons ... "As a way to prolong life, it is also recorded in many ancient books.
Traditional ways of breaking grain are mainly divided into two kinds: taking medicine and taking medicine. Avoiding grain with qi is mainly carried out through fasting and breath regulation (breathing). Taking medicine to avoid cereal is to regulate the body function by ingesting other complementary foods (nuts, Chinese herbal medicines, etc.). ) instead of eating the staple food (grain).
There are no books devoted to the study of Pigu, only some records of efficacy, and the specific cultivation methods are only passed down from mouth to mouth. But now the door is open, there are broken grain classes, broken grain classes and so on, and you can contact broken grain.
External alchemy is also called alchemy, alchemy, alchemy, burning, atractylodes macrocephala and so on. I don't recommend that you try external alchemy, because external alchemy needs a certain level of internal alchemy as an aid. External alchemy is basically composed of heavy metals, and there are many "cinnabar" that ordinary people can't take, or the layman can't get the right proportion at home, which is prone to accidents (food poisoning, heavy metal poisoning, etc. ) and it needs the cooperation of internal alchemy to be applied. The most classic of the external alchemy is Zhouyi Shentongqi, which is known as "the king of immortal classics". In addition, there are "Bao Puzi Waipian" and so on, so I won't introduce it much. You can read it if you are interested, but don't take it without guidance.
Inner alchemy is an important cultivation method of Taoism. Inner alchemy is based on the theory of "the unity of heaven and man in the land of Xiaotian", taking the human body as a cauldron, and practicing "the essence of the spirit" to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, improving human life function and even immortality. Tao Te Ching, Wen Zi, Liezi, Zhuangzi, Internal Strength, Xin Xue, Chu Ci, Yuan You and the works of Huang Lao School are the ancestral scriptures of all the Dan Classics, and all the Dan Classics in later generations developed from them and have always been the outline of the internal Dan method. Dan, Shan Ye, Yi, Shan Ye. Only the Tao is not right, so it is called Dan. The sky is high and the clouds are light, the ground is flat, the valley is full, and people are immortal.
There are many monographs on Neidan studies. Let me introduce some to you.
1, the secret recipe of Jiuzhuan Dan: also known as Jiuzhuan Neidan, which belongs to Taoist qigong regimen and was created by Chen Pu.

7. "Taiyi Golden Flower Purpose": "Taiyi Golden Flower Purpose" is a Taoist self-cultivation book that teaches people to be a wise and moral person. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Lu Zu wrote "Singing the Truth", "Daoxiang Collection", "Great Success" and "Collection of Ancient Stories in Canglou" in the name of Fu, which are the representatives of Taoist classics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Taiyi Golden Flower is rarely used. The famous names such as Lead, Mercury, Dragon Tiger and Li Kan are mainly cultivated by Taoist Inner Dan (Golden Flower), and Confucian classics and Buddhist classics complement each other.
