A book program on the origin of Taoism, which is the classic work of Taoism?

Taoism regards Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi's Nanhua Jing as the two most important classics. In addition, some scholars believe that Taoism imitated Buddhism's Tripitaka to create the Daozang[1], which collects Taoist works from all dynasties, including not only philosophy and Taoist theory, but also works on alchemy, health preservation, disease healing, and qigong. There are mainly "Orthodox Daozang", "Daozang Collection", "Wanli Continuation Daozang", etc., now only the Ming Dynasty "Orthodox Daozang" circulating, other versions have been lost, and the existing Taoist classics of the past dynasties are mostly included here.

The number of Taoist scriptures is very large, and the main scriptures of each school are also different.

Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi is the earliest Dan Jing, known as the ancestor of the Dan Jing, in addition to "Bao Puzi" is also the basic classic of the Taoist Danding School. The Taiping Sutra and Lao Tzu Xiang'er Notes are also the main classics of early Taoism. "Huang Ting Jing" and "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" are the main classics of the Shangqing Jing Zheng School, and the Maoshan School is also very important.

The Book of Salvation and the Three Emperors are the main classics of the Lingbao School and the Three Emperors School. "Yin Fu Jing" and "Changqing Jing Jingjing" are also two very important scriptures of Taoism, and they are the scriptures that Taoist priests must recite. In addition, the Jade Emperor Sutra and the Heart Seal Sutra are also one of the daily lessons of Taoists.

Although the Zhengyi faction of the Southern Sect of Taoism is mainly based on Fu Gong, Zhai Jiao, and Keyi, after the Northern Song Dynasty, it also advocated three teachings and one principle, and cultivated Neidan. Classics such as "Wuzhen Sutra" and "Jindan Four Hundred Words" have appeared. The Quanzhen School of Taoism advocates the integration of the three religions, refining qi and spirits, seeing the nature of the heart, and melting Confucianism, with the "Tao Te Ching", "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Heart Sutra" three classics as the mainstay, advocating "filial piety and purity."

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is the origin, but the general academic community believes that the first official classic of Taoism was the Taiping Jing, which was completed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the Eastern Han Dynasty is regarded as the initial period of Taoism. Taoism officially has Taoist entity activities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty with the emergence of Taiping Dao and Wudou Mi Dao, and the three books of "Taiping Sutra", "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" and "Lao Tzu Xianger Note" are the symbols of the formation of Taoist beliefs and theories.

The Tao Te Ching (i.e., Lao Tzu), the Zhengyi Jing and the Taiping Cave Jing are the main classics.

To learn about it, read The History of Taoism in China

The appearance of "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" and "Taiping Sutra", as well as the emergence of Wudou Rice Dao and Taiping Taoist Order, are the symbols of the formation of Taoism. "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" is the earliest theory about alchemy, and is known as the King of Danjing by later generationsThe Taiping Sutra is the earliest Taoist classic that has been handed down to the present day, and the history of the Taiping Sutra can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty; The Book of Han records that when the Western Han Dynasty became emperor, there was a Qi man Gan Zhong who could write the "Tianguan Calendar Bao Yuan Taiping Jing".

The purpose of the Taiping Sutra is the art of rejuvenating the country and the heirs, and it is to talk about qi to cultivate longevity, which is the existence of life and the method of longevity. "Taiping Jing Banknote.

Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", "Taishang Induction Chapter", Lao Tzu is Taishang Laojun came to the world to show and preach the Dharma, and Taoism is also Hinayana method.

The most famous Taoist classics are the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Changes, and the works of Lao Tzu Li Er and Fu Xi.

I have commented on the Tao Te Ching a lot, and many **** have it.

The origin of Taoism comes from the ancient times of Huang Lao's way, according to the Yellow Emperor in Kongtong Mountain asked Yu Guangchengzi, so as to understand the avenue and even Lao Tzu west out of Guguan, to give Yin Yin Xi morality 5,000 words, this is the stage of Huang Laodao's birth to maturity, that is, the stage of Taoism's grass creation

At the same time, the way of seeking immortals arose, and Zhuangzi wrote, "In the mountain of contempt and shooting, there are gods and men who live in the mountains, look like virgins, skin like ice and snow, do not eat grains, and suck wind and drink dew", such a god man, a real person, is the state of a person who has attained the Tao

Since then, Fang Xiandao and Huang Lao Dao have been theoretically united, and finally unified by Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Zhengtian Dao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and established a complete order system, which appeared as a religion

Taoism is an indigenous religion: Taoism is a religion born and raised in China as an ancient Chinese religion that developed through a long period of history according to its own internal logic.

Worship originating from nature : The ancestors of China worshiped nature and ghosts and gods, and practiced a variety of techniques such as divination that communicated the wishes of people and gods. This kind of original religion gradually evolved into the worship of heaven or the emperor and the worship of ancestors during the Yin Zhou period.

By the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ancient religion had undergone significant rational changes and was differentiated from social and cultural knowledge. The sons of the people rose up and a hundred schools of thought contended , especially the Taoists, Confucianists, and Mo, all of whom had a profound influence on cultural history.

Conditions formed: In the Han Dynasty, there was an urgent demand for religion in society, Confucianism was resected, and Buddhism was also introduced at this time. Under this social background, the ideology of Huang Lao was admired at that time, and the ideas of various schools were synthesized, and gradually merged with the traditional worship of ghosts and gods, the thoughts of immortals, and the number of yin and yang techniques. As a result, the necessary ideological conditions were prepared for the formation of Taoism, which is the root of Chinese culture.

Establishment of Taoist sects : During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taiping Sutra, an early Taoist classic, had been written. Zhang Ling also received the Zhengyi French language and the Zhengyi Alliance in the first year of the Han Dynasty (1 4 2 years), and entered Shu to spread the Zhengyi Dao, commonly known as the Five Dou Rice Dao

He established the Twenty-Four Rulers to admit the masses and set up rules and regulations, forming the first sect of Taoism. Taoism was formally established at this time. Later in Guanghe ( 1 7 8 - 1 8 4 ) , Zhang Jiao spread the word in the east and established a 36-party Taoist organization .

As for the Taoist statues influenced by Buddhism, it is necessary to give a brief introduction here because of the similarity of forms. Taoism is an inherent religion in China and flourished during the Han and Jin dynasties. However, the statue was created under the influence of Buddhism's "teaching with images".

According to records, the earliest Taoist statue founders were the Taoist Tulu meditation of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Song civilization. Its content has the beginning of the Tianzun, the three Qing (Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiqing), real people, immortal officials, jade women, etc., the structure and form are all like teaching, the main image in the middle, left and right coercion. The difference is that the main image has a bearded crown belt, which makes people know that it is a Taoist statue at a glance.

Because it imitates Buddhism, although it has a classical basis, it is easy to form formulas, so Taoist statues are generally not as vivid as Buddhist statues. The famous Taoist statue of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, according to historical records, has the Yuqing statue made in the seventh year of Liang Ordinary in the Southern Dynasty (526), the statue of Tianzun made in the second year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (521), and the statue of Taiqing Laojun made in the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the third year (568), etc., which are unfortunately no longer available.
