Taoism is obviously a traditional culture, why do some people say that it is feudal superstition?

Taoism. Just a general term, there is no separate religion of Taoism, many sects can be classified as Taoism, saying that it is feudal superstition, superstition must exist, any religion has superstition, such as alchemy, immortality, this is superstition, you know, gunpowder is invented in the process of Taoist alchemy, so denying the four major inventions of China.

One? Health preservation, and there are many medicinal herbs that are the merits of Taoism, and you can't erase them.

Because those people did not distinguish between Taoist culture and feudal superstition. There are many mythological figures in Taoism, and there are also some historical figures: Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi have laid a lot of foundations for successive generations and inherited many traditional beliefs of our Chinese.

And feudal superstition is a political means of feudal statehood, just like the dictatorship of the Zhou Dynasty. There is nothing to do with the two.

It is said out of ignorance and ignorance of the true truth of the universe, and people who say feudal superstition are really confused about self-confidence.

In the era of underdeveloped science and technology, religion must add some miracles and fantasy things in the process of spreading, so that ordinary people are willing to pursue it. Later, some vested interests will also exaggerate the propaganda to achieve the purpose of self-packaging.

Taoism pays attention to the five elements of yin and yang, and the Book of Changes. As long as you learn it, you can grasp people's psychological weaknesses. Tell things with truth and falsehood.

Taoism cannot be a traditional culture, it is a religious organization.

Because since ancient times, the vast majority of rulers have needed the purpose of Confucianism and Confucianism;

And Taoism is used to you believing in me to teach you, if you don't believe in fucking off, don't disturb my cultivation.

It's definitely not like Buddhism that deceives people at every turn: Shi Zhu, you have a relationship with my Buddha. 3

That's because you live in a big city, and running to the mountains and forests is a village and a palace!

1. Taoism, a religion native to China, is essentially a paralyzing effect on the people and does not advocate resistance to oppression, so it is welcomed by the Chinese feudal rulers. Historically, rulers have used religion as a spiritual tool to rule their people.

2. The idea of Taoism also satisfies the ruler's pursuit of immortality, and the ancient Chinese rulers hope for the future, and Taoism also happens to meet this need of the ruler.

3. Taoism uses superstition to fool the people, to build momentum for the ruler, and to use the ruler to govern and win over the people.

4. Some Taoist priests have real skills and know how to cure diseases and strengthen their bodies, and the religion itself has many believers, and using its power is more conducive to the ruler to manage the people.

Taoism was popular with the rulers mainly during the Tang Dynasty, as the surname Li was the surname of Lao Tzu Li Er, and the emperor claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were more accepting of religion, whether it was Taoism or Buddhism. The preference of other rulers of the dynasties for Taoism was a matter of personal interest.

1. The ruler's pursuit of immortality.

2. The ruler wants to be on the future **.

3. Taoism uses superstition to fool the people and justify the ruler's momentum 4. Some Taoist priests have real skills and can use some means to cure diseases and strengthen their bodies5. Religion itself has many believers and uses its power.

The rulers of the dynasty liked Taoism as a personal interest.

I think that Taoism's emphasis on the "unity of heaven, earth and man" is not in the interests of the emperor. This view emphasizes the similarity of all things, and of course indirectly illustrates the equality of people, which is not accepted by the emperor, so Taoism has not become popular.

Because it is only suitable for the rich to inherit, it cannot be popularized by the public. In the feudal period, Taoism used Ding to refine pills, which was a lot of money.

Although Taoism is a native religion, it does not advocate salvation or salvation. On the contrary, what is advocated is to avoid the world, let everyone do nothing, go with the flow, and it is difficult to cater to the needs of the public.

Why did the local Taoism decline? Even foreign Buddhism has overpowered.

Taoism is not a feudal superstition.

The "Blue Book of Religion" (i.e., the Report on Chinese Religion) released by China clearly states that "Taoism is the only religion in China and the carrier of traditional Chinese culture, and Taoist magic is not witchcraft or superstition." Taoism regards the Tao as the highest belief, and the Tao is formless and formless, and gives birth to heaven and earth, which is the origin of all things in the universe.

At the same time, the avenue exists in all things in the world, and the immortals of Taoist belief are also the manifestation of the avenue, "the Tao is scattered for the air, and the gathering is for the gods", the immortals are not only the embodiment of the Tao, but also the model of the Tao and Sun Burying. Therefore, Taoism is a religion that persuades people to do good, not feudal superstition as some people say.

Cultural development

"Dao" is the most basic belief, and magic is its external application form, through which the practitioner reveals the idea of "Dao" to help the world. Taoism takes "immortal and noble life, immeasurable people" as the practice criterion, and the Taoist method practiced by Taoist priests is a means to help the world. Whether it is a Jiao or a talisman, its fundamental purpose is to pray for blessings and disasters, drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, and it is not a trick to deceive people.

Taoism is an ancient philosophical thought, and its development history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the 6th century BC, and the core idea of Taoism is "Tao", that is, the relationship between man and the natural world, as well as man's knowledge and understanding of the natural world. Taoism has had a profound influence on ancient Chinese history, and it has provided important ideological support for China's cultural and social development.

No.

Taoism is the only religion that originated in China and was founded by Chinese, so it is also called a native religion. Manuscript Liang Taoism has had a profound impact on the politics, economy and culture of ancient China, and is one of the three spiritual pillars of the ruling class. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, through the democratic reform of the religious system, Taoism in China was reborn and gradually embarked on a path compatible with socialist society.

Since the reform and opening up, under the guidance of the party's religious policy in the new era, Taoism in China has taken on an unprecedented new atmosphere, and has made positive contributions to promoting economic development, social harmony, the reunification of the motherland and world peace.

Taoism inherited and developed the pre-Qin Taoist thought, which regarded the Taoist brother cover as the highest belief, from which evolved the highest classics, the highest Taoist techniques and the highest gods, and built a huge system of classical Taoist immortals. Taoism believes that the Tao can be cultivated, and the purpose of cultivation is to become an immortal, and the ultimate goal is to be both beautiful and true.

The famous mountain of Taoism is called the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and the key dust has ten major caves, thirty-six small caves and seventy-two blessed lands. In 1983, 21 key Taoist temples were determined: Beijing Baiyun Temple, Liaoning Taiqing Palace, Qianshan Wuliang Temple, Jiangsu Maoshan Taoist Temple, Zhejiang Baopu Taoist Temple, Jiangxi Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, Shandong Laoshan Taiqing Palace, Taishan Bixia Temple, Henan Songshan Zhongyue Temple, Hubei Zixiao Palace, Taihe Palace, Changchun Temple, Guangdong Chongxu Ancient Temple, Sichuan Qingyang Palace, Changdao Temple (including Tianshi Cave) and Patriarch Palace, Shaanxi Yuquan Temple, Zhenyue Palace, Dongdao Temple, Eight Immortals Palace, Louguantai.
