Taishang Laojun is one of the Taoist "Three Qing" gods of morality, the full name is "Taiqing Moral Tianzun". Taishang Laojun is not the same as Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is his incarnation.
According to the "Historical Records", Lao Tzu was a historian of the Zhou Dynasty, constructed a unique Taoist theory, and founded one of the hundred schools of Taoism, which was regarded as the ancestor of Taoism by later generations. This is the historical Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" contains the policy of governing the country and a large number of spiritual guidance. The Han Dynasty formed the Huang Laoxue, which had both political ideals and self-cultivation, and had a huge influence on the government and the opposition. In addition to being a political concept, Huang Laoxue also has some religious implications.
For example, in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Biography of the Ten Kings of Guangwu, the deeds of Liu Ying, the son of Emperor Guangwu, the king of Chu, are recorded, saying that "Huang Lao is more like in the evening festival, and he learns to fast and sacrifice for Futu", and also known as "King Chu recites Huang Lao's micro words, Shangfutu Renci Temple, cleans fasting for three months, and swears with God", which shows that Huang Laoxue is already a doctrine with religious functions at this time. In this process, there may have been a deification of Lao Tzu.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, and Zhang Daoling learned Taoism in the "Legend of the Immortals", saying that "suddenly there are heavens and people, thousands of rides, golden car feather cover, dragon and tiger, innumerable, or self-proclaimed history under the pillar, or called the East China Sea child, is to grant the tomb to a new way of power." Since he claims to be under the pillar, it must be Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu's classic "Tao Te Ching" was also reinterpreted by Zhang Daoling and written as "Lao Tzu Xianger Note".
Lao Tzu has become Taishang Laojun in "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note", which is the embodiment of the Great Dao, and is called "One Tao is also ......."A scattered form is gas, a condensed form is Taishang Laojun, Changzhi Kunhua, or a word of nothingness, or a word of nature, or a nameless, all of them are the same ear, today preaching and admonishing people, keeping the precepts is not violated, that is, keeping one; If you do not obey the commandments, you will be a husband." This statement was inherited by later generations of Taoism, such as the Tang Dynasty Cheng Xuanying's "Lao Tzu Yishu" in the seventeenth chapter of the interpretation of "Taishang, the lower knows what there is", "Taishang, that is, the Xuantian Sect leader Taishang Dao Junye." Yan Daojun is in the golden pass above Yujing, contemplating and reverie, which is a common place".
At the same time, the eighteenth chapter "The Great Dao is wasted, there is benevolence and righteousness" is called "that is, the abolition of the Taishang Teaching". In this way, the Great Dao is the teaching of the Taishang, and the Tao, the teaching, and the Taishang are one. The avenue here is the way described by Lao Tzu, that is, the way taught by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is undoubtedly too high.
As a result, the relationship between Lao Tzu and Taishang Laojun is inseparable, and the name of Taishang Laojun officially appears on Lao Tzu's body. In this sense, Lao Tzu evolved into Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Laojun is the deified Lao Tzu.

The verses of Taishang Laojun in "The Romance of the Gods".
At the beginning of the mixed yuan, the Tao was respected, and the refinement was cleared and turbid.
Tai Chi two rituals give birth to four elephants, and they are still in the palm of their hands.
Hongmeng dissected the Xuanhuang Scene, and governed the five elements in the world.
Xuanyuan rises to the day, and the letter is always clear.
The bull riding is far past the former village, and the sound of the piccolo fairy is hazy.
Open the earth and open the sky as the leader, and refine the brocade in the furnace.
The method is more mysterious, and mercury and lead meet the fetal fairy.
Before leaving the mother's belly, the head was white, and only then did the spirit of the sky be complete.
Indoor alchemy is mixed with oneself, and there is medicine in the furnace to take away the innate nature.
Generate the guests of the Eight Scenery Palace, regardless of the tens of thousands of years in the world.
Xuanhuang worships famous teachers, I am at my disposal when I am chaotic, the five elements are in my hands, and the avenue is ** fascinated.
When it is clean, it repairs the golden pagoda, and wanders out of Xiguan.
The two hands encompass the outside of the world, and the belly is safe and the five mountains are Sumeru.
Born after being old, he borrowed Li Chengcheng to get his name.
He once worshiped Hongjun to cultivate morality, and he knew that one Qi turned into three clears.
The original text is as follows: Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is born; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; I don't know its name, but I am called it. >>>More
The statement that the Buddha was afraid of Taishang Laojun actually came from "Journey to the West", and there is no such introduction in the mythological system. One is the host of Buddhism, the other is a Taoist patriarch, and the strength of the two has always been a problem that people are entangled in. Judging from the magic weapon, Taishang Laojun is better, after all, there are a lot of treasures practiced in the gossip furnace, but the Buddha uses very few magic weapons. >>>More
The exposition of Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Taoism of Taishang Laojun and the interception of the Tongtian Sect Master, although they are all teachings, one is orthodox and the other is demonic, and the two are very different.
In the Three Realms, if you want to be invincible, in addition to the ability to enter the heavens and the earth, you also need a magic weapon that suits you. For example, Sun Wukong, the reason why he was able to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, in addition to his unpredictable seventy-two changes, is largely due to his golden hoop stick. >>>More
This is a misleading, or misunderstood, conclusion that has been misled by the modern "Journey to the West" film and television drama, the real situation is that the status of Taishang Laojun has never been lower than that of the Four Emperors. Taishang Laojun's status is low, this impression is ** in the modern film and television drama "Journey to the West", after all, in the 86 version of "Journey to the West", Taishang Laojun is like a bad old man who is pulled by Sun Wukong, and the Jade Emperor is even more frightened by Sun Wukong to get under the table, this series of performances makes everyone think that the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun are a waste, so many people in modern times think that Taishang Laojun's status is low and that the Jade Emperor is incompetent. In fact, of course this is not the case, or the message conveyed in the original ** "Journey to the West" is not like this. >>>More
