Why is the relationship between Taoism and Taoism inseparable?

There are still many people in today's society about the relationship between Taoism and Taoism, there is often a contrast and misunderstanding in understanding, and there are many confusions about the internal origin and composition, and they always deliberately distinguish between the two, from which they mostly think that Taoism is ideological and academic, and Taoism is religion. Just as the relationship between the human mind and the body can be asked separately.

Taoism and Taoism are the result of the supreme way of all things in the universe. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, when Lao Tzu founded the Taoist school, there were already primitive Taoisms and sects in the world that were engaged in witchcraft and magic techniques to seek immortals, such as the ancient Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, Qi Bo, Peng Zu and other ancient gods, and later Fang Xiandao, such as Song Wuji, Zheng Boqiao, Zou Yan and other scholars, in order to talk about the unity of heaven and man. Longing for the art of immortality, and Taoist masters Laozi, Yinzi, Liezi, Zhuangzi and other their thoughts and speeches, all of which can be traced back to the ancient Heluo Zhouyi's gods and heavenly books, immortals immortal and elegant, it can be said that the establishment of Taoism is conceived on the basis of primitive Taoism.

Later, since the founding of Taoism by the Heavenly Master of the Han Dynasty, its doctrine and theory have been based on Taoist ideological theories. In the meantime, Huang Lao Dao is also a crucial sectarian group that connects Taoism and connects the two, such as the "Tao Te Ching River Shangzhang Sentences" and "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" is also an important work of Taoism after the Taoist thought turned to Taoism, so the relationship between Taoism and Taoism itself is integrated into one and cannot be separated. The origin of the two is not water without a source, a tree without roots.

Therefore, the relationship between Taoism and Taoism, from a certain point of view, can be considered that Taoism inherits the original nutrients of ancient Taoism, and Taoism is a continuation of Taoism itself, and the combination of the two constitutes an extremely perfect result. Just like a Tai Chi yin and yang, there is yang in yin and yin in yang. Mixing and blending cannot be separated.

Today's academic forum only talks about Taoism, but to a certain extent, ignores the inherent and existential role of Taoism, and the Taoism that is said to be lost is the original element of Taoism.

In the long river of history, hundreds of rivers converge to the sea, and Taoism is like a long river of history. Then the fairy arts, sectarian doctrines, five elements gossip, feng shui medicine, etc., etc., are just like the pure wisdom of the water, in the years of history, they are finally returned to the long river of Taoism, injected into the ocean of the avenue, endlessly, in order to return to eternity.

Those who insist on Taoism and Taoism have nothing to do with Taoism like Taoism the most, saying that Taoism has immortals and cultivation, and Taoism does not. In fact, this is a foolish statement, Taoist thought is the ideological foundation of Taoism, and Taoist belief in immortals and cultivation ideas can find their origin in Taoism.

For example, Lao Tzu is "the way to be deeply rooted and long-sighted." "In "Liezi", the king of Chuzhuang asked about governing the country, and the foundation of Taoist Zhan He's governance lies in governing the body! In Zhuangzi, there are various cultivation theories such as the void room and the birth of white, which can be found in Taoism.

Speaking of immortals, we can't help but talk about Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi's famous article "Getaway" has the legend of the fairy who shoots the girl, in addition to the record of the Yellow Emperor asking Guangchengzi, which directly affected the Taoist immortal pavilion. In Zhuangzi's "Theory of Things", there is more "to the gods of the people!" Daze burns but can't be hot, Hehan can't be cold, thunder breaks through the mountains and the wind shakes the sea without being frightened.

If so, ride the clouds, ride the sun and the moon, and swim beyond the four seas. Life and death do not change oneself, and the situation is at stake! "Do you think of the immortals in Taoist legends who can't be burned when they enter the fire, and who ride the clouds and fog to enjoy the world?

In addition to the belief in immortals and the idea of cultivation, those who oppose Taoism and Taoism are also Zhang Daoling's theory of founding the religion. Taoism is not the founding of Zhang Daoling, according to the original concept of Taoism, Taoism originated from the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi. To put it simply, Taoist culture is part of the matrix of Chinese culture, and there was Taoist culture when Chinese civilization was born, so Taoism believes that the ancestor of Taoism is Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the humanistic ancestor of our Chinese civilization!

In the early days, the Taoist doctrine was not called the study of Lao Zhuang, but the study of Huang Lao. This is the manifestation of the inheritance relationship between Taoism and Taoism!

Therefore, Xingyang summarized Taoism as follows: it arose in the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, spread it to King Wen Laozi, gathered in the hundreds of schools of thought, became a teacher in Zhengtian, the Tao was in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the virtue was covered in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the rules were established in the Chongyang Patriarch, preached in Qiu Zu's westward journey, fell in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and heard in today's time.

Taoism and Taoism are synthesized family teachings, first there is Taoism and then Taoism, so the current Taoism inherits Taoist thought, and the two Taoisms are engaged in different aspects of Taoism, mainly politics, military, governance, peace in the world, etc., while Taoism is chemistry, medicine, astronomy, geography, mathematics, inventions, etc., in fact, Taoism has not disappeared Taoism in Taoism, so Taoist thought has always existed in Taoism, so Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, all appeared to govern the country, The Taoist thought of the world, and this Taoist thought is played by Taoism, and the political and military governance of Taoism, the world is from Taoism, Taoism and Taoism are very close, Taoism Qiu Ji Zhenren killed in a word, which shows the political, military and governance of Taoism, Taoist thought in the world, Taoism inherited 100 Taoist thoughts, and many sects, Taoism has not disappeared, Taoism still exists in Taoism.

Taoism and Taoism are inextricably linked, for example, both revere Lao Zhuang, but they are also significantly different. Taoism is a philosophical school, whereas Taoism is a religious belief.

Taoism was formed in the Spring and Autumn period. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the rulers adopted the strategy of "non-action" and highly respected Taoism. It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Lao Zhuang was combined with the worship of immortals, which was actually a subsidiary of later generations.

Both Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi had a rather calm attitude towards death, and they did not seek immortality. Taoism respects Lao Tzu as its sect, and pursues immortality and immortality, which is contrary to Lao Tzu's philosophical thoughts, and it is a misunderstanding to completely confuse the two. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong's atheistic work "On Balance" based on Taoist thought comprehensively criticized the popular worship of immortals in the late Han Dynasty, and gained a high status in the history of Chinese thought.

In the West, Taoism and Taoism are collectively referred to as taoi (to religioustaoi (Taoism) and philosophicaltaoi (Taoism) to distinguish them. Western scholars generally believe that Taoism is the product of the religiousization of purely philosophical Taoist thought, while Taoist believers believe that Taoism and Taoism are complementary in thought.

Taoism was established on the basis of Taoist thought.

At the time of its founding, Taoism combined the learning of Lao Zhuang Huang Lao, the art of immortal immortality and folk witchcraft to form a specific religious form, of which Taoism is an important thought of Taoism. In the long-term development of Taoism, it has always relied on Taoist thoughts, such as: "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and so on have become important classics of Taoism, Taoist scholars continue to annotate "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" according to the needs of the times.

It can be said that without Taoism, Taoism could not have been formed, and without Taoism, Taoism would have lost its solid ideological pillar. After the Han and Wei dynasties, Taoism did not form an influential school, and there were no more outstanding Taoist scholars, but Taoism has made great progress.

An important reason why Taoism has not been annihilated is that it has been continued with the help of the development of Taoism, since Taoism takes Taoist thought as a theoretical pillar, it must contain Taoism, since Lao Zhuang's writings have been regarded as Taoist classics, Taoist scholars must have developed Lao Zhuang's learning when commenting. But it cannot be denied that Taoism had a greater influence on Taoism, not the other way around.

Taoism has a very direct relationship with Taoism. In terms of name, Taoism takes "Tao" as its religious name; Ideologically, Taoism takes the philosophical thought of Taoism as the highest belief and constructs the theoretical system of Taoism based on it. In terms of characters, Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist school, became the head of Taoism, and several other representatives of Taoism, Zhuangzi, Liezi, Wenzi, and Kang Sangzi, respectively became the Nanhua Zhenren, Chongxu Zhenren, Tongxuan Zhenren and Dongling Zhenren of Taoism.

Taoism is a religion that emerged in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, while Taoism is a philosophical sect formed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so the two are different. However, Taoism absorbed some important categories of Taoism and its ideas to form its theoretical basis.

and the founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu, was the ancestor, and other Taoist sons were later named the gods of Taoism, so the two are closely related. Because of this, later generations also called Taoism Taoism.

In the process of development, Taoism has formed many sects, and its beliefs and teachings are also mixed and varied, and each sect is different.

Looking at the doctrines of the Taoist sects in the past dynasties, they all put it"tract"As the core of his beliefs, the teachings of all sects of Taoism are derived from this.

Evolved. In summary, there are mainly the following aspects:

One. "tract"It is the highest belief in Taoism. "tract"It is the essence of nothingness, the root of all things in heaven and earth, and the transcendence.

The eternal existence of time and space. "tract"is unique.

Two. Lao Tzu is"tract"The incarnation of,"tract"It can evolve into many gods. Earthly gods and human ghosts.

Three. "tract"It can be obtained by repairing. Through the cultivation of various Taoist techniques, people can make the gods and gods"tract"Together, that is, attaining the Tao.

Four. Those who have attained the Tao can have all kinds of supernatural powers, and can live forever and become immortals.

In many people's cognition, Taoism and Taoism are the same, but in fact, Taoism and Taoism are two different things.

Taoism was an academic school in the pre-Qin period, and Taoism was a religious school. The founder of Taoism is Lao Tzu, and the heir is Zhuangzi, collectively known as Lao Zhuang. The founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling.

Taoism is based on Taoist thought, and it all emphasizes the rule of inaction and going with the flow. Taoism is a religion that absorbs and integrates various traditional ideas such as Confucianism, Mohism, Buddhism, folk witchcraft, etc., and then takes the foundation of Taoism as the core and adds the myth of Lao Tzu and worships him as the master.

Although Taoism and Taoism are related in many ways, their differences are also obvious.

First of all, Taoism is one of the most important schools of thought among the hundred sons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, advocating the Great Dao, advocating that only the Tao is followed, the Tao is natural, and the rule is governed by inaction, mainly engaged in academic activities and other political and cultural activities, and takes the Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, and the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor as classics. The representative figures of Taoism are Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zhang Liang and so on.

Taoism was first the Taiping Dao and the Five Bucket Rice Dao. The founder of Wudou Midao was Zhang Daoling of the Later Han Shun Emperor, who took Lao Tzu as the leader and used the Tao Te Ching as a classic to make him practice it. So there is a religion that originated from Lao Tzu's saying.

Taoism advocates ancestor worship, belief in ghosts and gods, primitive philosophy, and immortal magic. As a religion, Taoism deified Taoist figures to increase their popularity, with its immortal worship and beliefs, a series of religious rituals and activities, the pursuit of immortality, and its main text is the Taoist Collection. Taoism is an inherent religion in China with the way of immortality as the highest belief, which exhorts people to become immortals through the cultivation of health and moral character, and finally liberate themselves from death and seek eternity.

The representative figures of Taoism include Zhang Jiao, Ge Hong, Wang Chongyang, Qiu Chuji and so on.

To sum up: Taoism is a philosophical school, while Taoism is a religion and a feudal superstition, so Taoism and Taoism are not the same.
