Taoism is a polytheistic religion formed and spread in China, and its influence in ancient China is second only to Buddhism. Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are considered as the three pillars of traditional culture in China. Taoism is named after the pursuit of Tao. Taoism was formed on the basis of China's ancient Taoist thoughts and theories, absorbing fairy witchcraft, folk worship of ghosts and gods and witchcraft activities. It advocates the immortality and immortality of quietism. Speaking of various sects, from the way of practice, Taoism is mainly divided into two factions-Zuo Fu School and Dante School. The former advocates using spells to cure diseases and exorcise ghosts, while the latter advocates refining elixir for longevity, which is different from external medicine and internal medicine. In addition, there are Miao Zhen Dao, both of which are available. Miao Zhen Dao originated from Fang and Huang. It is the oldest sect, the founder of the basic ideas of all schools and the living fossil of Taoism.

But the truth is far more than that. It is generally believed that the distribution of Taoism began in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. There are six influential schools in the history of Taoism. As follows:

1) Miao Zhendao: It originated from Fang in the Warring States Period and Huang in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Later metaphysics and re-metaphysics were closely related to Taoism and existed as hermits.

2) Justice: There are Lingbao School, Justice School and Jing Ming School below.

3) True Avenue: It was founded in the Jin Dynasty and gradually declined after the Yuan Dynasty.

4) Taiyi Road: It was built in the Jin Dynasty and gradually declined after the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

5) Jingmingdao: It was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty and declined after the Ming Dynasty.

6) Quanzhen Road: There are two schools, Nanzong and Beizong. There are also many tribes, such as the Dragon School, the Encounter Fairy School, the Namo School, the Suishan School, the Lushan School, the Huashan School and the Static School.

After the Ming dynasty, Taoism was divided into orthodox school and quanzhen school, and all other schools were under these two schools. At present, the Baiyun Temple in Beijing has the general classics of all the true sects, and there are 86 Taoist sects, but actually there are only 80.

Righteousness Road: Righteousness Road was Wudoumi Road in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and was later renamed Shitian Road and Righteousness Road. Its Taoist priests can practice at home, do not abstain from meat, marry and have children. Its Taoist temple is generally called "descendants temple". Quanzhen religion: Quanzhen religion flourished in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties and was the largest and most important school of Neo-Daoism in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Representative figures are Wang Zhongyang and Qiu Chuji. Quanzhen religion emphasizes cultivation, and its Taoist must become a vegetarian. Its Taoist temple is generally called "the ten-square jungle".

As a branch of Taoism, Quanzhen occupies an important position in today's Taoist circles. When it comes to truth, there is only one person, and that is Wang Zhongyang, the founder of entrepreneurship education.

Wang Zhongyang was the founder of Quanzhen Taoism in China, and was later hailed as one of the five northern ancestors of Taoism. He has seven famous disciples, known as the Northern Qi Zhen in the history of Taoism, and also known as the seven sons of Quanzhen. Wang Zhongyang integrated Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism and advocated the unity of the three religions. Claiming that "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions are never the same." It is believed that "people's hearts are often quiet and a real shortcut to practice." His works include more than 1000 sermons, as well as 15 essays on Chongyang's Education, Chongyang's Education Collection and Ten Kinds of Pears, all of which are included in the collection of orthodox Taoism. Quanzhen Qizi is Ma Yu. Danyang), Sun Buer (without Jing Qing), Tan Chuduan (without Changzhen), Liu Chuxuan (without immortality), Qiu Chuji (without. Changchun), Hao Datong (without Guangning) and Wang Chuyi (without Yuyang). Many of them are Qiu Chuji's Biography of Wang Zhongyang.

Speaking of it, Qiu Chuji is a pivotal figure in Taoism. After Wang Zhongyang, the seven schools of Quanzhen blossomed on the theory of Quanzhen advocated by the master, and separated the seven schools of Quanzhen. Quanzhen Dragon Sect initiated at the same time with Qiu Chuji is the fastest growing and most influential of these seven sects. Qiu Chuji (1 148— 1227) is a native of Binduli, Qixia County. Qiu Zu lost his parents when he was a child, and he tasted all the hardships in the world. When I was a child, I longed to become a "fairy". Living in Gongshan, north of the village, I live a life of "wearing pine flowers and eating pine nuts, drinking pine breeze in pine streams and drinking pine breeze in the bright moon". In the sixth year of Dading, in 1 166, at the age of 19, he realized the emptiness in the world, abandoned his family to learn Taoism and lived in seclusion in Kunyu Mountain. The next year, when he learned that Wang Zhongyang had founded Quanzhen Temple in Ninghai, Shandong Province, he went to a teacher for advice. After three years of guarding the tomb, he first went to Panxi, Shaanxi Province for six years, and then went to Longmen Cave in Longxian County, Shaanxi Province for penance. And created a new Longmen Sect, and was honored as the founder of Longmen Sect.

Today, Longmen Sect has developed quite extensively. The Baiyun Temple in Beijing is also the Taoist temple of the Dragon Sect, and the Yuqing Temple in Tangshan is also the Dragon Sect. As a Dragon Sect, it has also developed widely in Tangshan, and many Taoist priests are disciples of the Dragon Sect.
