Zhang Daoling (February 22, 34 [1]- 156), whose real name is Fu Han, was originally named Ling, Han nationality, Taoist, and was born in Fengyi County (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province).
One school, Meng Weidao, the founder of Shi Tiandao, was granted Buddhism for three days, and the master was a real person for three days. Later generations were called "Shi Tian Bodhisattva", "Zhengyi real person" and "three-day teaching assistant exorcist", and they were both wise men to God and Zhang Tianshi. The book "Old Xiangzi Jules" has more than 300 apprentices and 24 schools, which laid the foundation of Stone Heaven. Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun, and Handcudgel are called the Four Kings.
The background of Zhang Daoling's founding of Shi Tian Daoism: At that time, in Bashu area, primitive Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft and sacrificed their lives to the people on a large scale. And these Dharma masters who worship ghosts and gods (scientific name: evil spirits) gather people to collect money and do evil. Zhang Tianshi took two apprentices, Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, and the Huangdi Jiuding Dan Jing to practice in Beimang Mountain, and put down the witch religion that harmed the people. This is the prototype of Zhang Tianshi's story of breaking the ghost soldiers with the sword of the old gentleman, which spread in Sichuan and Chongqing.
If you mean Confucius, the two are not in the same period.
Confucius (September 28th BC1year-BC 1 1 year April) was born in Song State (now Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province) and Lu State (now Qufu City, Shandong Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period. A famous thinker and educator in China traveled around the world with his disciples for fourteen years, and studied the six classics of Poetry, Book, Rite, Yue, Yi and Chunqiu in his later years.
According to legend, he has 3,000 disciples, including 72 sages. After the death of Confucius, his disciples and their re-disciples recorded the words and deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled the Confucian classic The Analects. In ancient times, Confucius was regarded as a "saint of heaven" and a "muduo of heaven". He was one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the society at that time, and was honored by the rulers of later generations as the saint, the most holy and the most holy teacher of Confucius, the master of Wang Xuan and the teacher of all ages. His Confucianism has a far-reaching influence on China and the world, and Confucius is listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World". Confucius is revered as the ancestor of Confucianism. With the expansion of Confucius' influence, Confucius' sacrifice once became a "great sacrifice" at the same level as the ancestor of God and country. This honor is only Confucius besides Laozi.
Confucius was in the Spring and Autumn Period and Zhang Daoling was in the Han Dynasty. Laozi is the founder of Taoist school, and it is almost the same period as Confucius.
Lao Tzu (about 57 BC1-47 BC1? ), the word Bo Yang, posthumous title Yong, also known as Li Er (in ancient times, "old" and "Li" were homonyms; "Yong" and "Er" are synonyms. He was the "official in charge of collection room" (the official in charge of collection) of the Zhou Dynasty. He is one of the great philosophers and thinkers in China, the founder of the Taoist school, and [3] is honored as the founder of Taoism and a world cultural celebrity. Laozi's idea of health preservation is "inaction"-no consumption. Laozi used "Tao" to explain the evolution of everything in the universe, and "Tao" is objective (Tao: the phenomenon of cosmic energy).
