What is the realm above the saints in ancient Chinese mythology? What is it called?

The early Taoist classic "Taiping Sutra" divides the immortals into six classes:

One is a god, two is a real person, three is an immortal, four is a Taoist, five is a saint, and six is a sage. He also said: "The gods and men are the heavens, the real people are the land, the immortals are the wind and rain, the Taoist bishops are good and evil, the saints are the people, the sages are the sages to assist the people, and the sages are also the ones who are not enough." ”

Jin Gehong's "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter on Immortals" quotes the "Book of Immortals" to divide the immortals into three categories: heavenly immortals, earth immortals, and autopsy immortals. Said: "The sergeant lifts the form and ascends to the void, which is called the immortal; In the middle of the famous mountain, it is called the land immortal; The corporal dies first and then sheds, which is called the autopsy immortal. ”

Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Spirit Position Karma Map" divides the immortals into seven levels: Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiji, Taiqing, Jiugong, Dongtian, and Taiyin.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty's "Supreme Secret" starts from the level of becoming immortals, and divides the immortals into: ghost official Taoist, earth immortal Taoist, earth true Taoist, Jiugong Taoist, Taiqing Taoist, Taiji Taoist, Shangqing Taoist, and Jade Qingdao person. Among them, the "ghost official Taoist" is arranged for the immortals and ghosts after death, indicating that there is also the hope and opportunity to ascend to the immortal after death, thus indicating that there was a saying of "ghost immortals" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The "Tianyinzi" of the Tang Dynasty divided the immortals into five categories, saying: human immortals in people, earth immortals in the earth, heavenly immortals in the sky, narcissus in water, and immortals who can change their powers.

Song Zhangjunfang's "Yun Ji Seven Signatures Taoist Three Caves Zongyuan" "Three Qing" entries divide the immortals into nine products, saying: "There are nine immortals in Taiqing Realm, nine truths in Shangqing Realm, nine saints in Yuqing Realm, and three hundred and twenty-seven people." "The Nine Immortals are:

Shangxian, Gaoxian, Taixian, Xuanxian, Tianxian, True Immortal, Immortal, Lingxian, and Zhixian.

The names of truth and holiness are also above, high, high, mysterious, heavenly, true, god, spirit, and supreme. This is roughly the same way that the Taizhen Branch is classified. In short, there are many ways to classify immortal products, and later the "Secret Library of Immortal Arts" summarized it, saying that "the law has three multiplications, and the immortals are divided into five grades", and the five immortals are:

Heavenly immortals, gods, earth immortals, human immortals, ghost immortals. Basically, it laid the foundation for the taste of the gods.

A saint is the highest state. But now there are many garbage ** tampering with ancient books at will. Only then did he have the so-called realm above the saints.

Above the saint is the way of heaven, above the way of heaven is the avenue, and above the avenue is Hongmeng.

Above the saint seems to be Pangu After all, even the mixed yuan saint Hongjun was born in accordance with Pangu's groundbreaking.
