Is there Confucianism in China, is it a religion? How did the Quanzhen School of Taoism come to be?

Confucianism is not a religion. In fact, it is almost ...... MarxismThe Quanzhen School was founded by Wang Chongyang in Zhongnan Mountain, Shaanxi Province at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The difference is that the ideas they convey are different, and the way of education is also different, the ideas conveyed are not the same, the educational policies are not the same, and the education models are not the same, which is their difference.

The difference is that the concepts of the two are different, and the theme of the promotion is also different, the original intention of the two is also different, and the concepts involved are also different, and the audience groups are also different.

Their initial ideas are different, their development paths are different, their founders are also different, their historical influences are different, and their main meanings are different.

Different ideas, different originators, different views of the world, different views of the relationship between people, and different ways of dealing with things.

The main reason is that the people served are different, religion serves the people and relies on the strength of the people to survive. Confucianism served the emperor and relied on the power of ** to survive.

Religion needs to be organized and disciplined to survive, and Confucianism can survive through the ages by relying on political power. Therefore, Confucianism does not need strict canons and dogmas to control the believers, as long as there is a political need, we are not afraid that there will be no "believers", the whole world is the ruler's people, and the ruler needs to unify his thinking in order to better rule his people, so Confucianism can also develop very well. Confucianism did not need a religious model to survive, so it did not eventually become a religion.

The core of ideology is "benevolence", attaches importance to "courtesy", and advocates governing the country with virtue. Later, it was sublimated and transformed by Mencius in the Warring States Period and Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty, and Confucianism became the mainstream thought of ancient society in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, it was further developed into Cheng Zhu Lixue and Lu Wang Xinxue.

Confucianism has made great contributions to the construction of moral civilization in society.

Quanzhen is also known as Quanzhen Tao and Quanzhenism. It is the mainstream sect of Taoism in the world. The heir of the Quanzhen Sect is the posthumous religion of Taishang Laojun.

The Quanzhen Sect is known in the world as the "Taishang Xuanmen Authentic Sect", such a big sect, do you know who its founder is? Next, let me take you to find out!

Wang Chongyang is about 25 miles northwest of the old Xianyang City, now Xianyang City, Qindu District, Shuangzhao Town, Dawei Village, born in the decay and decline of the Northern Song Dynasty in the late years of Hui Zongzheng and the second year, that is, in 1112 AD, the twenty-second lunar month of the lunar calendar. Wang Chongyang was born in the era when the Northern Song Dynasty was in the twilight of poverty, gradually going to extinction, the domestic people were struggling to make a living, starving everywhere, the northern Jin people went south, the army was in chaos for many years, and the regime was crumbling.

Wang Chongyang, surnamed Wang, famous Zhe, well-known in the word, and known as Chongyang. Born in a wealthy family since childhood, her mother was born two years and 28 days pregnant. Hu Chang, big eyes and height, natural skin is uneven, and the villagers gave him the nickname "Wang Xianfeng".

He started reading at the age of six or seven, and he was very smart.

In his twenties, he has made a lot of mistakes in history. Not only proficient in Confucianism, but also strong in martial arts. Zeng Zhongjin Wuju was discriminated against and humiliated by the Jin people.

In 1115 A.D., 47-year-old Wang Chongyang saw through the red dust, resigned angrily, lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, Xiananshi Village, and dug the ground outside the village as a tomb, known as the "tomb of the living dead", with the tomb as his home, hard practice, devoted himself to studying Taoist classics, after several years of ascetic practice, finally realized the true meaning of Taoism.

After claiming to have met the Eight Immortals Lu Dongbin on the Swill River Bridge in Huxian County, he had to cultivate the secret method, since then, Wang Chongyang abandoned his home and ran away, and began to walk all over the Qinchuan land of 800 miles in Guanzhong, recruiting believers, preaching and preaching, and soon, founded a new school of Taoism - Quanzhen Sect.

Some scholars believe that Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in China are the same religion, so it seems that Confucianism and Taoism are both religions. Although Confucianism has no precepts and no obvious organization, it has had a great influence on China, so some people also speak of it as a religion. It is the religion of Chinese intellectuals.

Regarding Confucianism, some people believe that religion has precepts and is organized, and that Confucianism has no precepts and no obvious organization, and it is not a religion. Therefore, there are two theories about whether Confucianism is a religion or not.

With regard to Taoism, Taoism conforms to the definition of religion in terms of its influence on China and in terms of the organization of its precepts. So there is no controversy about Taoism as a religion.

The final conclusion is: Taoism is a religion. Confucianism is a religion or not. It depends on which point of view you personally agree with.

Religion is the world's saying In fact, any religion is education Her beginning is education But later it evolved into a religion It was understood by the public as superstition On the contrary, they are superstitions But the world's fortune is very shallow, and there is no depth in it, the landlord can read some Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other religious classics and related explanations will understand, but the landlord should pay attention to the fact that there are always unrighteous people in the world who use religion to do unrighteous things Wanglou master understands this principle You must not generalize with the merits Amitabha.

Confucianism is not a religion, to be precise, it is Confucianism, it is an academic school, a social doctrine. Taoism is a religion, but Taoism in the early period was not a religion, and in the period of Lao Tzu, Taoism was also an academic school like Confucianism. Later, some people respected Lao Tzu as the supreme god of Taoism and made Taoism religious.

In fact, Lao Tzu is an atheist and strongly opposes the doctrine of ghosts and gods, but later generations respect him as the supreme god.

Confucianism is not a religion, Taoism is a legitimate religion.

Quanzhen Sect is one of the components of modern Taoism in China, and the Taoism of the early generations is mainly divided into Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi School, Maoshan, Longhushan and other sects based on Fu Zheng belong to the Zhengyi School.

Taoism was founded by Zhang Daoling

Taoism is a native religion in China that gradually formed by taking pre-Qin Taoism as its ideological source and absorbing and integrating other theories and practice methods. In the process of long-term development, it has had a wide influence on ancient politics, economy, philosophy, literature, astronomy, calendrical, medicine, geography, physics, chemistry, folklore, art, etc., and has become one of the mainstream of Chinese culture.
