What is the essence of Daozang ? Why can t he master it all in his life?

All Taoist classics are included in the book "Daozang", so the essence of Taoism "Dao" is the essence expressed in "Daozang", because all Taoist classics are included, so it is difficult for anyone to grasp all the knowledge. "Daozang" is a treasure of Taoist culture, which includes all the Taoist classics, and the essence of the book is the word "Tao" in Taoism, which means that Taoism is natural, to be void and quiet, and to be in harmony with heaven and man.

1. The concept of rule by inaction is a collection of Taoist books, which covers all the books of Taoism since the Zhou Dynasty, and the content and knowledge are very large, so it is difficult for anyone to read and master this classic.

1. The origin of TaoismThe origin of Taoism can be traced back to the period of Fuxi and Shennong, and Lao Tzu summarized the essence of the wisdom and thought of the ancestors in the Spring and Autumn Period, and put forward the theory of Taoism to rule by doing nothing. This also marked the formation of Taoist thought at this time, and the transformation from ideological theory to statecraft. Taoism is built on Taoist theory, and the five elements of yin and yang, as well as myths and legends and immortals, have been softened into it, forming the Taoist doctrine that is famous to this day.

Second, the "Daozang" includes the Taoist classics "Daozang" is a summary of all the Taoist classics, which covers the Yin and Yang Five Elements Doctrine and the gods and goddesses and myths and legends, witchcraft and other huge content, and every dynasty in our country will organize the re-compilation of the "Daozang" book, after thousands of years of accumulation, the book has been lost and can not find the classics, there are still more than 10,000 volumes, which contain scriptures, talisman diagrams and prescriptions, etc. Such a huge amount of content and knowledge is probably beyond the reach of anyone in their lifetime.

It can be said that the book "Daozang" is the essence of all the knowledge accumulated by Taoism after thousands of years of development, including both Taoist thought and Taoism's strange tricks, is a series of books covering all the essence of Taoism, and at the same time, the huge amount of information is probably impossible for people to understand and grasp in their lifetime.

The essence is the Taoist scriptures. Because the classics of "Daozang" are as vast as a sea of smoke, the content is extensive and complex, and the volume is huge, so it is not easy to read.

It is a treasure trove of Taoist culture because it is a vast body of knowledge that involves a wide range of complex content that is difficult to grasp.

The essence is "nothing" and "anti". Because people may not be able to reach the realm of enlightenment in a lifetime, they will not be able to grasp the essence of the Tao in a lifetime.

The essence of "Daozang" is the teachings of Taoism, because there are so many incomprehensible truths in "Daozang", so ordinary people cannot grasp them all in their lifetime!

Tao Te Ching has more than 5,000 words, concise and concise, without a single waste word, which is already the essence of Laozi's philosophy and Taoist philosophy. If you have to extract the essence from the Tao Te Ching, it is two words: "nothing" and "anti".

Specifically, everyone in the world is competitive and wants to climb up, and the so-called "people go to high places" is to see only the front. Lao Tzu believed that a person with the highest morals would be like water, because "water flows downward." The world is strong and competitive, and those who learn the Tao must be weak and indisputable, "the husband is the only one who does not fight, and the world cannot compete with him".

Taoism has only one scripture, and that is the Tao Te Ching

Confucianism and "Daozang", I don't understand, what is worth "hiding".

The essence of Confucianism is "Confucianism", and the essence of Taoism is "Tao", which should be easy to understand, but the vast majority of people do not understand the difference between Confucianism and Taoism. Can these things that the vast majority of people don't understand be "hidden", and how can they be "hidden"? It may just be some people's ego.

Give you a starting point, and there is a broad road in front of you. The so-called "Confucianism" is actually the "starting point", and the so-called "Taoism" is actually the direction in front of us. Lifting up our feet, we are "seeking the Tao", and when we put down our feet, we reach a new "starting point", and this starting point is the new Confucianism.

As the "starting point" changes, our "Tao" is different; With the difference of our "Tao", the "Confucianism" of our starting point will also be different. "Dao" and "Confucianism" promote and change each other, how can we "hide" and "hide"?

What can be hidden is only the shadow of a certain time in the past, even if you understand it all, it doesn't have much effect.

The first set of woodblock prints published in the Song Dynasty is very famous. The collection of Taoist classics began in the Six Dynasties, and was compiled into "Tibet", which was opened and Zhaoyuan by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, called "Three Caves Qionggang". At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, under the auspices of Zhang Junfang, in 1019, it was compiled and revised into "The Treasure of the Great Song Heavenly Palace".

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty again ordered the compilation of Taoist scriptures, increasing from 4,565 to 5,387, and between 1111 and 1117 the Daozang was first published as the Wanshou Daozang. Since then, the "Daozang" has undergone many changes, sometimes because of the war loss, sometimes because of the re-compilation and printing of the auction rent, and infiltrated a lot of works after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Yuan Dynasty had a large number of Taoist books and printing plates, and finally to the Ming Dynasty, "Orthodox Daozang" was engraved in 1444, and in 1607 "Wanli Continued Daozang". 1923 In 1926, Shanghai Hanfenlou republished the continuation of the Zhenghe School "Daozang" according to the Ming plate of the Baiyun Guan Collection in Beijing, which is now the popular version.

The Daozang is extremely important for the study of the history of Chinese Jindanshu because it is almost the only existing Chinese Jindanshu classic**.

The selection criteria of the Daozang Compendium reflect the characteristics of Taoist beliefs in the Qing Dynasty. The first title of "Ordinary Cases" is: "There are sects in the Tao, and it is appropriate to divide the subject and the guest."

This compilation is in the Sanqing Supreme, the congenital and holy, that is, according to the source of the Taoist school, the scriptures and pills handed down by the ancestors of the north and south are listed in turn. He also believes that "Neidan can be transcendent and holy, but external strength can only prolong life due to illness", so Neidan books contain a lot; The Waidan furnace fire is "strictly rejected"; "All the special books of the talismans" are also "not included". At the same time, it also reflects the cult of Lu Zu and the belief in the immortals that were prevalent at that time.

Qiyun: "Ancient and modern saints, uncountable, wonderful true transmission, group push Fu You Emperor." Non-special opening of the north and south sects, the transmission of scriptures, to the great to the fine, that is, a piece of words, but also related to the Tao, mysterious and difficult to name.

And the Pudu is transformed into four continents. This is less than one in 10 million. Only the old fax version is respectfully included for the benefit of scholars.

Therefore, the whole book includes a lot of works under the name of Fuyou God (Lu Dongbin), such as "Taishang Xuanyuan Tao Te Jing Interpretation", "Xiantian Dou Emperor Interpretation of the Supreme Xuangong Lingmiao Sutra", "Nine Emperor New Sutra Commentary", "Xuanzong Zhengzhi", "Yushu Treasure Sutra", "Sixteen Grades Sutra", "Jinhua Purpose", "Tongshen Sutra", "Five Classics Compilation" (including "Emperor Lu Heart Sutra", "Congenital One Temperament Sutra", "Longevity Witness Holy Sutra", "Golden Jade Treasure Sutra", "Awakening Heart Sutra"), "Emperor Lu Anthology", "Emperor Lu Poetry Collection" and so on. There are also works written by Emperor Wenchang, such as "Emperor Wen's Book of Filial Piety", "Emperor Wen's Salvation Sutra", etc.; The works of the immortals of the past dynasties (Zhang Ling, Ge Hong, Xu Xun, Chen Tuan, etc.) have been penned, such as "Jade Interpretation" and so on. In addition to the inclusion of Wu Shouyang's "Quotations of the Immortal Buddha and the Sect" that clearly marked the purpose of the unity of the three religions, Zhou Dunyi's "Taiji Diagram" and "Tongshu" were added, as well as the biographies and anthologies of Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, as well as the scriptures of Emperor Wenchang and so on.

In addition, the "Daozang Collection" (including the Chongli Ben) also includes some new confession and Qing rules and precepts, such as "The Great View of the Confession Law", "The Three Treasures and Ten Thousand Souls Confession", "The Taishang Lingbao Chaotian Confession", "The Daomen Homework", "The Ten Precepts of the Meritorious Qualifications", "The Warning of the World Meritorious Qualifications", etc.

The above content characteristics make the book "Compendium of the Dao Collection" an important supplementary material for the main and continuation of the Daozang, which can be called the "Continuation of the Daozang". With this book, people can get a glimpse of the essence of the Taoist collection, and can read a large number of Taoist books that have been published since then.
