People related to China's traditional culture

Taoism in China originated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (126-144), and its founder was Zhang Daoling.

Zheng He is a religious organization founded by Zhang Daoling and handed down from generation to generation, with Laozi as the leader, faith supreme, recording fasting as the mode of communication, and pursuing immortality as the highest realm. Since Zhang Daoling began to practice alchemy in Longhu Mountain, Longhu Mountain can be called the first Taoist mountain in China. Zhang Daoling is the founder of the road to justice. He is the ancestor Shi Tian, also known as the first generation Shi Tian.

Tianshidao has a history of nearly two thousand years in China since the formal establishment of Zhengyi School in Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the process of his own inheritance and development, Zheng He constantly absorbed the essence of China traditional culture, which is one of the main ideological pillars of China traditional culture.

The background of Zhang Daoling's founding of Shi Tian Daoism: At that time, in Bashu area, primitive Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft and sacrificed their lives to the people on a large scale. And these Dharma masters who worship ghosts and gods (scientific name: evil spirits) gather people to collect money and do evil.

Zhang Tianshi took two apprentices, Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng, and the Huangdi Jiuding Dan Jing to practice in Beimang Mountain, and put down the witch religion that harmed the people. This is the prototype of Zhang Tianshi's story of breaking the ghost soldiers with the sword of the old gentleman, which spread in Sichuan and Chongqing.

In the mid-Warring States period, Taoism of Huang and Lao prevailed in the State of Qi, and Huangdi and Laozi were highly respected. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the rulers respected Huang Lao's learning and ruled by doing nothing, which created a prosperous era of "governance of cultural scenery".

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the theory of Huang Lao went deep into the people, merged with Fang to form Huang, and changed from political belief to religious group. Confucius and Mencius' Confucianism and Taoism are compatible, which constitutes the main body of religious ethics; Mohism's ideas and contents of respecting ghosts and gods, friendship and mutual assistance, and scientific and technological methods are covered by Taoism;

The Book of Changes is the basic classic of Taoism, and the thought of the Book of Changes permeates theological philosophy, Zuo Fu Dan Dao and Zhai Jie Yi Ke. Zou Yan's theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is also an important part of Taoism.

The Taiping Jing of Huang Lao Taoism in Han Dynasty preached that heaven and earth should be gasified, heaven and man should be integrated, heaven should bear heavy burdens, and happiness should be good, with the goal of "peaceful world". The Book of Changes, written by Wei Boyang, a Taoist of Dante in the Eastern Han Dynasty, combines Yi-ology, Huang-Lao and Huo-Hou, and summarizes and develops the Taoist alchemy of health preservation.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi (179- 14 1) ruled the world with the theory of "governing by doing nothing", cultivated their self-cultivation and enjoyed themselves with the people, so that all kinds of social production activities and people's lives were as natural as possible without interference, thus forming a political theory based on the Taoist thoughts of Huang and Lao, which was called "The Taoist School".

Therefore, the study of Huang Lao is in the ascendant.
