When did Taoism become associated with ghosts?

Strange power chaos is not related to Taoism, that is Fangshi, in the pre-Qin Zhuzi Hundred Schools period, the originator of Taoism is Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching is not involved, alchemy, ghost hunting and other strange forces to mess with the gods. It's more about thinking about the social universe of life.

What is Fangshi? In fact, it is **, what a little stone into gold, even the elixir, is just a means of deception, of course, they will also pull the tiger skin to make a banner, since people were very ignorant of the natural world at that time, especially admired Zhou Yi gossip, strange forces and chaos, naturally to follow the cat and the tiger. At that time, Zhou Yi Bagua was not exclusive to Taoism, it was the source and representative of Chinese culture, so even if Fang Shi wore Bagua fairy clothes, it had little to do with Taoism.

And Taoism and Fangshi are involved, starting from the Han Wu Emperor's deposition of Confucianism, the deposition of Confucianism, the other hundred schools of natural people are in danger, all want to seek the foundation of life, when although Confucianism is the only respect, but Confucianism can only govern the country for the emperor, but can not provide the road to immortality and immortality. Therefore, the other hundred schools of thought did not want to be attached to theology and theocracy to preserve themselves, the Yin and Yang family saw Feng Shui and became Mr. Yin and Yang, and the Taoists also practiced the elixir to study ghost hunting. It is in such a situation that Zhang Daoling, the eighth great-great-grandson of Zhang Liang, the representative of Taoism, is a noble person.

Coerced believers to establish the Five Doumi Sect, and Taoism officially became involved with ghosts. Its descendants are today's Longhu Mountain lineage.

Taoism is an academic school, just like Confucianism and Moism. In "Zhuangzi", it talks about the turtle, the deity of the big Tsubaki tree, and so on, which is a bit similar to a myth, but this is just a manifestation of Zhuang Zhou's unbridled writing technique, and it should not be counted as the ghost mentioned by lz. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling (Zhang Tianshi) founded the Wudou Mi Sect (it is not accurate to say that it is the predecessor of Taoism, but it is the first religion with Taoist thought as the guiding ideology), at this time Taoism and the Wudou Mi Sect were linked, and the Wudou Mi Sect talked about ghosts and gods, which should be considered to be a connection between Taoism and ghosts and gods.

But in the final analysis, Taoism is an academic school, an academic category, and it does not talk about ghosts and gods.

Unless there is a high-ranking person, he has noble character and profound Taoism, and has the temperament of a leader. Otherwise, Taoism will continue to decline until it declines. Where I live, Taoist temples are full of mountains, but almost all Taoist priests are professional, hundreds of Taoist priests, none of them are right, which makes people sigh.

Confucius can worship Lao Tzu as a teacher, why can't Zhang Liang use gossip.

Moreover, the statement that gossip is Taoist is problematic in itself, Confucius, Laozi did not have Taoism, Confucianism in the era, let alone earlier gossip. This is purely the wishful thinking of later generations to carve out the territory and recognize the inheritance of the ancestors, pull the banner of the tiger, and fool the onlookers who do not know the truth.

Seeing ghosts and goblins is only an entry-level teacher, and for Taoist cultivators, such teachers are innumerable.

There is no such advanced cultivation now.

Do nothing and do nothing; Taoism is natural.

"Taoism" and "Taoism" should not be the same concept.

"Taoism" can be understood as "moralist", which is the "Lao Zhuang thought" and "Lao Zhuang school" in philosophy, and the typical characters are Lao Tzu, Zhuang Zhou, Liu An, etc.; His representative works include Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, Huainanzi, Huashu and so on. Other classics such as "Yi", "Lü's Spring and Autumn", "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", and "The Divine Sutra" also belong to the list of Taoist classics. "Taoist culture" is embodied in the above books.

"Taoism" can also be understood as "Taoism" from the religious aspect, and its content also includes yin and yang, five elements, immortal Taoism, fangshu, talismans, divination, miscellaneous occupations, and fangzhong.

Taoism, with the Tao Te Ching as the supreme classic, is "pure, natural, and non-action". Relying on yin and yang, the five elements, the way of immortals, magic, talismans, divination, miscellaneous occupations, and other means as the means of immortality and even immortality. Later Taoism also absorbed certain rituals, rituals, precepts, and scriptures from Buddhism.

Taoism is the native religion of China, and the ideological content of Taoism is extensive, and it has a greater influence on the Chinese nation than other religions.

Go with the flow and do nothing.

Heaven does nothing, and the Tao is natural.

Amitabha, there is, but people who really have this kind of supernatural power will not show it lightly.

Those who are lightly exposed are possessed.

The Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Heavens Second only to the Three Qings, the Lord God and the Six Realms Lao Tzu was originally a moral Tianzun, one of the Three Qings.

The last question, I can tell you that it's not your question that is too troublesome.
