What is loyalty and filial piety?

Jingmingdao and "Loyalty and Filial Piety"

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was a pure and clear path of loyalty and filial piety in Yulong Wanshou Palace in Xishan, Jiangxi Province, which was called Jing Ming Dow for short. Although Jingmingdao is still centered on the belief in immortals, it is different from Shitiandao, Maoshan Daodao and Louguan Daodao. Although it also pays attention to Taoist arts such as curses and exorcism, and also engages in fasting and cultivating people, it is only a secondary art of monasticism; The most important and prominent content of his teachings is to emphasize the need to be loyal to the monarch and filial piety. Up to now, there is still a plaque on the main hall of Yulong Wanshou Palace in Xishan.

According to The Complete Book of Jingming's Loyalty and Filial Piety, Jingming Daoism originated in Xu Xun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xu Xun was influenced by (childhood) and (period), while Mu Chen Lan Gong was influenced by two emperors. According to "Biography of Xu Zhenjun", Xu Xun was born in Nanchang in the second year of Red Bird (AD 239). In his early years, he lived in Xishan Jinjia. In the first year of Jin Taikang (AD 280), he was appointed as the magistrate of Jingyang County, so he was also called Xu Jingyang. I had a premonition that there would be chaos in Jinshi, so I resigned and returned to Xishan to practice Buddhism and help people. In the second year of Kangning, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty (AD 374), "the house soared". There are a lot of materials about the nature of Xu Xun's religious legends in the orthodox collection, such as: Biography of Xu Zhenjun in Jingyang, Biography of Xu Zhenjun, Biography of Xu Taishi and Pu Xian in Wei Qing; There are biographies of immortal Xu Zhenjun, biographies of eighty-five Xu Zhenjun in Xishan, biographies of filial piety Xu Erzhen Jun, and beading in Dong Xuanbu's fairyland, etc. "Cave God Department" has volume 26, "True Immortal Body and a Mirror of Taoism in the Past"; The Taiping Department has Biography of Xu Xun on Seven Signs and Biography of Jing Zhong Ming Xiao Quan, Shi Jingyang and Xu Zhenjun in Ming Dow, Shu Jing. The first volume has 4 volumes, 14 and 16. There is Xu Zhenjun in the Collection of Free and unfettered Scriptures, Xu Zhenjun in the Collection of Taoist Scriptures, and Xu Zhenjun in Search of Ji Shen. Others include "Tai Ping Guang Ji Zhen Jun, Ji Xu". According to legend, Xu Xun was enshrined in the Western Hills after his ascension to the Immortal. His disciples are sometimes He, Wu Meng, Gan Zhan, Zeng Heng, Xu Lie, Shi Feng, Huang Renkuan and Zhong. Xu Xun and his eleven disciples were collectively called "Twelve True Kings". But the above information is only based on religious legends.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Xun and his "filial piety" were trusted by the rulers, and Xu Xun was rendered as a god who could exorcise evil spirits. Emperor Taizong, Emperor Zhenzong and Emperor Renzong all gave imperial books, and in the sixth year (A.D.1KLOC-0/65438), they changed the tour view of Western Hills to Yulong View, Yulong Palace and Song Huizong Zhenghe.

Jin people stick to the Han dynasty and can't live without killing soldiers and invading the south. In the first year of Jingkang in Song Qinzong (A.D. 1 126), Kaifeng House was destroyed, Hui Zong and Qinzong were captured the following year, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Kang Wang established the Southern Song Dynasty in Jiangnan, but the Jin people continued to invade Jiangnan, threatening the survival of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is in this situation that He Gongzhen, a Taoist priest of Yulong Wanshou Palace in Xishan, advocated Xu Xun's "Qingming, Loyalty and Filial Piety Dafa".
