Together, God is God (Shinto)
Two-way, God has become a flesh-and-blood God (humanity) with the same shape as human beings.
Third, God enters the beast, which is the beast god (beast).
Those who follow the four roads, the gods enter Ficus pumila, and those who follow Ficus pumila are also called hungry ghosts (hungry ghost road).
Five ways, God goes into the mud, and the name of mud hell is Li. (The Road to Hell)
"Five Daoism" divides life into five categories: heaven, man, beast, hungry ghost and hell, which are collectively called "sentient beings". The lowest and most painful thing is hell, and the highest and most peaceful thing is heaven. God and man belong to all beings, and each has its own life cycle.
Man is second only to heaven in the "Five Taoist Views", which reflects Taoism's respect for man and life.
The "Five-Way Theory" links the good and evil of human beings with the rewards and punishments of the doomsday trial, and holds that the spiritual entity of human beings is the inheritor of the rewards and punishments of good and evil, and human beings are guilty, so their spirits will be tried in hell.
All living beings are in retribution for good and evil, those who do good start with good karma, and those who do evil fall with bad karma. So ups and downs, one life after another is constantly ups and downs, suffering forever.
If people can't cultivate their nature, keep their Tao and be in harmony with the Tao, their spirit will fall into the "five Tao" and they will not have a rest.
It should be noted that although there are different levels of "Five Taoist Views", they are not the goals pursued by Taoism. They are all ups and downs in the process of confusion and confusion, and they cannot return to Taoism. Unity with Taoism is the highest goal pursued by Taoism.
Taoism values life, delights in life and pursues immortality. Taoism believes that human life does not depend on fate.
As the Western Ascension Sutra said, "My life is in me, not in heaven and earth". One's life depends on oneself, not on fate. People can live forever as long as they cultivate their self-cultivation, unite with the Tao and calm their nerves. The unity of life and Taoism and the protection of life and Taoism are the basic teachings of Taoism and the basic characteristics that distinguish Taoism from other religions.
Breaking away from "Five Daoism", that is, reaching the realm of returning to Taoism and integrating with Taoism, is the pursuit of immortal belief in religious practice. Devotion to immortals, longing for immortals' happiness and punishment for fearing God are the driving forces for people to break away from the "Five Ways".
Taoism and other religions only pay attention to the other side of the world and ignore the differences in this life. This is a reborn religion.

The so-called six bridges refer to the Golden Bridge, the Silver Bridge, the Jade Bridge, the Stone Bridge, the Wooden Bridge and the Bamboo Bridge.
The first one is Jinqiao: it is for people who have studied immortal, Taoist and Buddhist teachings before their death and accumulated a lot of merits, and they take the road of becoming immortal or becoming a monk.
The second road is Yinqiao: it is for those who have accumulated merits and benefits in the world, become priests of the land gods and enjoy the incense on earth.
The third way is Jade Bridge: those who have accumulated merits in the world will be reincarnated as powerful people and enjoy wealth and splendor.
The fourth road is the stone bridge: for people with mixed merits and demerits to pass by, join the common people and enjoy a well-off life.
The fifth road is the single-plank bridge: it is for those who have done more work in the world, and join the poor, sick and lonely underclass.
The sixth way is the bamboo bridge: it is used by evil people and is divided into four forms: one is the fetus, such as cattle, dogs and pigs; The second is eggs, such as snakes and chickens; The third kind is lice, that is, fish, crabs, shrimps and so on. The fourth is chemical substances, such as mosquitoes, flies and ants.
