Bashu culture: Taoist culture

Bashu culture: Taoist culture was founded together.

The right way is Shitian Road. Taoism in Shi Tian is a religious organization founded by Zhang Daoling and handed down from generation to generation by its descendants. Laozi is the leader, Taoism is the highest belief, fasting is the means, and the pursuit of immortality is 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 Taoism in China. He is the founder of Taoism, also known as the first generation of Shi Tian.

Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang Ling, was born in Fu Han and Pei Guofeng (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province). Born in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province on the 15th day of the first month in the tenth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he stayed in the Han Dynasty and waited for the great-grandson of Sean IX. Less into imperial academy, 7-year-old reading Taoist scriptures, more than 10 times to achieve its goal, salty knowledge of astronomy, geography, the Five Classics, general study of tombs, all-encompassing, from more than a thousand people. Tianmu Mountain is 30 miles south and 80 miles northwest, where he gives lectures. Emperor Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 59) was 26 years old and was appointed as Jiangzhou Order of Ba County (in present-day Chongqing, Sichuan). However, he always liked Huang Lao's quiet way of keeping in good health, thinking that being an official was "not beneficial to his life", so he abandoned the way of hiding his life. The emperor and the emperor He lived in seclusion in Luoyang, North Mangshan and other places to practice Qigong. Five years after the founding of Zhang Han (AD 80), the court recruited him as a doctor, saying that he was ill. In the first year of Yongyuan (AD 89), it was levied as Taibo, and it was named Hou of Jixian County, but not three. The following year, in the second year of Yongyuan (AD 90), I was 57 years old. I traveled to Poyang with disciple Wang Changyou, climbed to the top of Leping, and went back to Xinjiang to refine "Jiutian Shenwan" in Yunjin Mountain of Guixi. "Dan succeeds, the dragon and tiger see it, and the mountain is named after it."

Zhang Daoling spent three years refining the elixir for nine days in Longhushan, and now he is in his sixties. After eating the elixir, he looks less, looks "rejuvenated" and looks like a man of about 30 years old. Then, in the Luxianyuan Deer Cave on the northeast side of Longhu Mountain, I got the secret language of the gods and tigers, and established the Shi Tian Caotang to preach disciples to cure diseases. By the time he passed Songshan Bashu, he was over 90 years old.

It can be seen that Zhang Daoling has been teaching alchemy in Longhushan for more than 30 years, and the time is not short. This is his alchemy place, such as alchemy pool, Zhuodingchi, Xishengtai and Shi Tian Caotang. There are several stone stoves and beds in Bilu Cave, which are recorded in various historical books, and many sites can be vividly tested. It can be seen that his Taoism at that time was quite profound.

About the birth of Zhang Ling and his alchemy in Longhu Mountain, there are two magical records in Volume 18 of "The Real Fairy Mirror and Taoism":

"My mother dreamed that God came to earth from the big dipper Kuixing, and was more than ten feet long. She wore embroidered clothes and gave them to Heng. She felt that the clothes and bedroom smelled strange. After a few months, she felt pregnant. She was born in Tianmu Mountain in the first month of Jianwu ten years in the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Huang Yun was in the back room, the purple air filled the court, and the phosgene in the room was like the sun and the moon ... "

"The disciples are the elders of the king, know the situation, stay and wait on him, and then send the disciples away. He undertook the task of cleaning up emptiness and neglecting personnel. Wang Chang wrote songs and lived together in Yunjin Mountain (that is, Longhu Mountain in Guixi, Jiangxi Province, which was changed to Longhu Mountain because of "Dan's success"), while real people practiced Xuandao and refined Longhu Dan according to the formula, and there was a red light for one year.

The second time, Zhang Daoling and his disciple Wang Changsong (Bashu people) were over 90 years old. Why do you want to go to Shudu when you are old? First, it is conducive to creative education "knowing how simple Shu people are, easy to intensify, and famous mountains and mountains"; Second, "the smell of Bashu eruption is harmful to human body, and the people are trapped by the epidemic." He will continue to use Fu and Dan to treat people and help the country and people. After entering Sichuan, he lived in Yangping Mountain first, then He Mingshan, and went to Xicheng Mountain, Gekui Mountain, Qin Zhongshan, Changli Mountain, Yongquan Mountain, Zhendu Mountain, Beiping Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain, where he studied hard and wrote 24 Taoist books, covering Bashu and Shaanxi. He was taught by his disciples and established a Taoist grass-roots organization. Anyone who enters the Tao must send a letter of five buckets (one bucket in the Han Dynasty is equal to two liters now, and five buckets are equal to one bucket now) in case of famine and as a "righteous house".

In the first year of Emperor Shun's Han 'an (AD 142, when 109 was old), on May 1st, "The Emperor Tai Shang surrendered himself" and granted Dharma for three days, making Ling the "Shi Tian" and conferring spells, which is a crucial subject. On July 7th of that year, he was granted a wonderful sutra of Yimeng, which was regarded as "Three-day Master is a real person". "In the second year of Han 'an (AD 143), Emperor Tai Shang applied for twenty-four treatments on the seventh day of the first month of Han 'an, and paid Zhang Tianshi to chase the cloth." Since then, Taoism has been divided into twenty-four treatments, with tens of thousands of children, and Taoism has been popular in Bashu area. Long live Emperor Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty for two years (AD 156), Zhang Ling 123 years old. It was September 9, 2008, and the secret record, two evil-eliminating swords, a jade book and a jade seal were awarded to the eldest son, so he and his wife climbed Mount Yuntai forever and climbed during the day.

Since the founding of "Zuzheng", Li has been highly respected by Taoism, regarded as the true way to unite strength, punish evil and promote good, sort out ghosts and gods, inherit for three days, help the country and the people, and rule the country and level the world, which is the real and unique right way. At that time, people respected Zhang Daoling as a heavenly teacher, also known as Shi Tiandao. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the three mountains have all belonged to Longhu Mountain, so they are collectively called Zhengyi Road to distinguish Quanzhen Road, which rose in the north during the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

There are many records about the process of Zhang Ling's founding Taoism in Daozang. Ge Hong said in Biography of Immortals: "... I heard that Shu people are simple, easy to educate and have many famous mountains. My disciples and I went to Shu, lived in Hemingshan, and wrote 24 Taoist books, which is a kind of meditation and practice. Suddenly, heaven and man came, with thousands of horses riding, golden cars wearing feathers and countless dragons and tigers. Or claiming to be Schlein, or the son of the East China Sea, is to give Ling a new way to form a positive alliance. Mausoleum can cure diseases, so people are sad and become teachers. Disciples to tens of thousands of households, that is, to make a drink offering and bring their households, just like a chief executive ... "

Bashu culture: Taoist culture, two Taoist models

First, the beginning of Taoist etiquette

Instrument is ceremony, and model is model. A certain pattern standard followed in the notes of an instrument is called an instrument model.

Taoism inherited the rituals such as sacrifices and prayers of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and standardized them as the stereotyped model of religious activities, forming a Taoist model. Due to the needs of religious masters in past dynasties, Taoist rituals have increased and changed in different dynasties. From the existing collections of orthodox Taoism in the Ming Dynasty, we can see three categories of Taoist etiquette: the masterpieces of discipline, dignity and appearance. Lingbao Xuejing is 8 1 species, with 246 volumes.

The rise of Taoist etiquette mode is accompanied by the establishment of Taoism. The amulets, the three precepts, the five precepts, the eight quit, and the acceptance mentioned in Zhang Daoling's First Book of Three Officials and Zhengyi Law should be the initial sacrifice and prayer ceremony of Taoism. Discipline is the code of conduct of Taoists, which can stop "evil thoughts from the heart" and "speaking out" as a ladder to prove Taoism. Therefore, Taoism attaches great importance to "abstinence". The important role of "precepts" can be clearly seen from the "precepts" preached by the Buddhist altar.

2. There are three types of general education models.

1. "Discipline"

The "Zhengyi Law" written by Shi Tian, the founder of this religion, requires Taoist priests to observe the three precepts, five precepts and eight precepts, and says that these precepts were handed down from the old gentleman. The "three commandments" are: turn around and quit, and turn to "the infinite road"; Convert to the Ring of God, believe in the "Thirty-six Zunjing", convert to the Ring of Life, and obey the "exorcist in metaphysics". This "three precepts" is our "three conversions" after class in the morning and evening. In other words, Changyue Wang said in the First True precept: After conversion, you can "get rid of reincarnation forever", that is, Bao Dao; After converting to God, you can "get the right way."

That is, treasure; After conversion, you can "stay", that is, master Bao. The "five commandments" are: first, do not kill; Second, no meat and no wine; Third, don't talk nonsense, you are duplicitous; 4. Don't steal; Fifth, don't be immoral. Simply put, it is killing, stealing, lewdness, madness and drinking. The first truth is. "Anyone who can hold these five commandments and make rough progress will benefit from prolonging life and being protected by the gods. There will be no suffering from five punishments and no human loss." In Taoism, we call these five precepts "to accumulate virtue in the root" and "eight precepts". According to "Seven Trillions of Clouds" Volume 40 and "The Commandment", except for the five precepts, six must not lie in a wide bed; Seven, be sure not to learn sesame oil, you decorate it with China ornaments; Don't indulge in singing and dancing and be a prostitute. The above precepts are the precepts of early Taoism for believers. By the time of Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were quite a few Taoist works on "precepts". "Bao Puzi" said: Yin Zheng once collected "nearly 100 volumes of Taoist rules". Taoism is very solemn in teaching precepts. Since Qiu Zu initiated the discipline system of Quanzhen religion, the Taoist Quanzhen religion has set the order of disciplines: the first true precept, the middle precept and the heaven precept, which are called the "three great precepts". The book about "abstinence" in the altar of abstinence is called the Sutra of Abstinence. The preaching ceremony is a performance ceremony, a warning from the abbot, and a very solemn religious instrument. The "economic rules" of the Quanzhen Shifang jungle are the "legal" provisions for people in the range to abide by the commandments. The most basic thing in Taoism is to abide by the "Five Commandments", including ten commandments, three hundred commandments and one thousand two hundred commandments.

Both early Taoism and late Taoism in Shi Tian have the teaching method of "giving". After the fourth generation of students moved back to Longhu Mountain from Hanzhong, they first built the "seal altar". In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou founded Northern Taoism, which made the conferring ceremony more grand and standardized. In early Taoism, Zuo was a kind of "register" and a register of Taoist books. Once "granted", you can get God's blessing, because when a person receives the seal of Taoism, he hangs his number on God's blessing, and God will be responsible for blessing. This meaning is similar to the "crown scarf" and "ordained" of modern Taoism. "Kou Xu" says: Taoist priests don't wear scarves, and the three officials and great emperors are famous here. If they wear scarves, they hang Cao Tian's number, so they don't belong to Rebecca. Taoist priests who have received the Three Altars Commandments are even more famous ministers of the Sanyuan Mansion, and the Nine Xuans and Seven Ancestors have all been punished, that is, they have been banned or degenerated into bad people. Only the three officials and the great emperor come to "settle accounts", and the prince can't control it. We recommend to stop using the treasure symbol, which is a certificate to recommend to stop ascending to heaven and turn over to hell. Holding this "treasure symbol" proves that the deceased was rescued through "great efforts" and moved towards super life. At present, Shi Tian still implements the "Tao" system, but it only plays the role of "Tao" in a sense. Sixty-three generations of Zhang Tianshi Bourne, sixty-four generations of Zhang Tianshi Yuan Xian.

A. Wei Yi and Zhai on the altar

In the heyday of a generation, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty held "Luotian Justice", "360 Minutes Luotian Justice" and "Huangdi Justice" at every turn. Although I don't know about these ceremonies, I can imagine that they must be very grand scenes. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked sweets best. According to the Ming History, there are many sweets in Ming Dynasty, such as longevity sweets, soothing the nerves, promoting fluid production sweets, praying for the New Year sweets and so on.

In ancient Taoism, the place where fasting was held was called an altar. According to the altar of Kou Qian in Shu Wei Shi Lao Zhi, what is the shape of the altar? "The altar is five stories heavy, and one hundred and twenty monks borrow prayers and pray at six o'clock"; Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi said: "30% of the altar is restricted by cotton, and every door is opened next to it, and there are statues." From this point of view, the altar of ancient Taoism was set up in the open air, and it was not until later generations that it became an open air and an altar was set up in the temple.

The system of Taoist altar was first founded by Zheng. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Sheng, the fourth generation of Shi Tian, returned to Longhu Mountain in Yongjia, Jin Dynasty (AD 307-3 12) and built an "altar" in the alchemy of his ancestor Shi Tian. Every three days, he taught the Dharma and founded the "Shangqing Zongtan" in Maoshan for Zheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Yang, a disciple of Mrs. Wei of Nanyue (known as "the founder of Jade Girl Dafa, and Mrs. Wei of Nanyue opened a mysterious way to pray for the Buddha"), with nine floors for seal.

Nine old immortals seal the king. Lingbao Jing, which was circulated by Ge Xuan School, was supplemented by Lu, and Lingbao teaching was popularized. The school spread Lingbao Jing Zuo in jujube hill and Gexuancheng Road, Qingjiang County, Jiangxi Province, and built yuanshi county Zongtan with Song Huizong's bronze seal of yuanshi county and yuanshi county Wanshen. These three altars, collectively called "Three Mountains Zuo Fu", are the earliest "altars" in Taoism. After the rise of Quanzhen school, it inherited the "altar" system of traditional Taoism. For example, when Baiyun Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty, the first "prestige" was the fasting ceremony. Every religious activity, big or small, has a certain ceremony. The classic book about this ceremony is called Yi Ke. We often say that "teaching by the book" means holding Yi Ke according to the formula. "Prestige" includes all the furnishings and behaviors in the altar. It is called "Ruyi" to meet the fast code.

"Li" is a practice or praise field. Fasting is another way of abstinence, which is usually combined with abstinence, such as fasting and bathing. Before the ceremony, that is, before the ceremony, you should be vegetarian, have a clean heart and a clean body. These are the contents of fasting. Generally speaking, "fasting" is a "physical and mental purification" procedure before "drinking". There is also a content of "fasting", that is, vegetarianism can get good results on certain days, such as "Sanyuan fasting", that is, the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the fifteenth day of July and the fifteenth day of October, which are fasting days in Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xia Yuan respectively; Another example is: "Gengshen Zhai" and "Jiazi Zhai" are on Gengshen Day of "Sixty Flowers Jia", and Jiazi Day is a fast day; Another example is "Lent, the core memorial of life", that is, the day of a person's birthday is Lent Day. There are many Lent festivals, so I won't list them one by one. These fasts are built to understand grievances, sins, pray for blessings, avoid disasters, save lives, prolong life and so on. Another content of "fasting" is held in a ceremony of "wishing", mainly to pray for the living to atone and recommend the dead to cross over, such as "Huang Renzhai", "Jin Renzhai", "Yu Renzhai" and "Jiu Youzhai". Many such "fasting" ceremonies have been lost. Before liberation, Jade Emperor Mountain in Hangzhou held several "Golden Lodge", which was called "Golden Lodge" in Hangzhou and Shanghai. This Dojo is very grand and solemn. There are several altars for chanting scriptures alone. First, there are all the altars (that is, the general altars on the table); Second, the people's altar, reciting "Du Ren Jing"; The third is the Imperial Altar, reciting the classic collection of Shang Gao Jade Emperor; Fourth, the altar of the gods, dedicated to hundreds of gods. The "Golden Lodge" must be a Dojo for at least seven days. Dojo instruments include: opening the altar, fetching water, offering filth, inviting saints, worshiping the stove, announcing the list, serving the table, setting fire to burners and so on.

Taoist "fasting model" existed as early as when Zu Shi Tian founded the religion, and "Tiangong Zhangben" was the earliest fasting model. Kou Qian-zhi's "reciting the New Classics in Clouds" and "Illustrating the True Classics" are new instruments of Taoism in northern Shi Tian. Lu compiled three classic collections of caves in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including a brief introduction to Lu Daomen, an instrument given to Xuanling Bao in Taishang Cave, a candle-lighting wishing instrument for stopping and punishing Lingbao Zhai in Cave Xuanling, a Taoist self-study in Lingbao, a dream-true Zhai instrument, a Jin Yu Zhai instrument, and a nine-secluded Zhai instrument. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Five Dynasties, Du Guangting, whose real name was Mr. Guangcheng, was a master of Taoist etiquette. His Si Liu Jin Shu and Guang Ji Cheng Yao have always been the models for us to write essays and letters today. Taoist "Sacrifice" was established in Song Dynasty. The original "Imperial Altar" was really called "Yuan Zong Altar" with "Taoist Classics and Teacher's Treasures" printed on it. The altar where the abbot lectured was called "Du Xuan altar".

These are all notes that belong to the category of "prestige".

"Zhang Biao" is written to God, or called "celadon", because in ancient times, this kind of document was written on green paper, so it was called "celadon". Or "green chapter", the style of green characters is mostly four or six syntax. Si Liu Jin Shu's book is a model. Ancient literati were mostly good at Qing Ci. Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty, for example, was a figure who took kindness as a green word and was appreciated by the emperor. Zhang Biao's usage also has different occasions. The presentation to the highest Taoist god is called "Shangbiao" and the general god is called "Shangshu".

Taoist rituals can include Taoist worship, chanting and Taoist walking, living, sitting and lying down. In short, all forms and actions have laws to follow, and these laws belong to the category of instruments and models.

3. Read the Bible on time

Every Taoist who lives in a temple must go to the temple to recite the scriptures on time, which is a necessary lesson, so the Morning and Evening Tanjing is called the Morning and Evening Homework Classic. This is for daily practice. The operation hall is not a "routine" or a "going through the motions". It is meaningful to review two books every day. The preface to "Morning Class" says: "Those who do their homework should learn their merits and practice their ways". Jing Ke and Jing Ke in Morning Class clearly explain the cultivation of sexual strength, and Miao Jing in The Jade Emperor of Shang Gao clearly explains the cultivation of life strength. These two classics are the rules of monks. Finally, the Jade Emperor printed the wonderful sutra in his heart and said, "Recite it 10,000 times, and the wonderful reason is self-evident." "Reciting" means reciting, and "holding" means practicing. Monks are required not only to "recite it, keep it in mind" and understand the truth, but also to act in a down-to-earth manner. There are two sentences before the conversion of "Evening Class", which are called "chanting scriptures, explaining the meaning of classics, being in a rare body, but being difficult to meet by law". This is why we should recite it as "homework" every day. There is another cloud in the preface of "Morning Class": "Unless you recite it in class, you can't maintain harmony. Classics are the former sacred heart school. Although it is a lesson in the classroom, it is actually a great blessing for the country. I have a back day and night, and I am tired day and night. When I spend 3,000 years and go to the garden for 800 miles, I will become a monk and a gentleman will offer virtue. " We Taoists pay attention to tying the knot, and chanting can tie the fate of a god or a ghost. When teaching gives birth, attend classes early, and recite quietness, which is to divide the meaning into light and clear, and to attend classes at night and recite to save the suffering. The birth of heaven, the induction of sin, and so on. It means nourishing yin and coagulating blood. At noon, I recited three official classics to atone for my sins. Eliminate evil spirits and disasters, and take noon fire to eliminate yin. The meaning of the main battle is also. Reciting "Imperial Classics" when I was a child is helpful to Taoist skill and supplement the divine will (see the first draft of Guru's "Liuyitang").

Step 4: Meditate.

"Keeping thinking" is also called "keeping thinking", and "Heaven's Stepson" says: "Keeping meaning means keeping my god and thinking about my body". "The Seven-Star Sleeping Fight" says: "I thought that the seven stars shone in the north, and I was already lying in the seven-star fight. Under the canopy, the light of the seven demons shone outside the purple scenery.

Jade is already lying on the seven stars. Above the purple scene, in the middle of the seven obsidians. "Keep thinking" is to keep thinking about the sacred objects, which is also called "never leave". When we worship static fighting, we should think about sitting with eight arms and being kind.

Bashu Culture: Taoist Culture and Development of Taoism

Zhang Heng, the second-generation heir, is really energetic and talented. It is not enough to hire an assistant minister of the Yellow Gate. Before Zhang Daoling appeared, in order to make the teachings he founded be handed down from generation to generation, he was given a sword seal to imitate the system handed down by emperors in previous dynasties, and wrote it on the scales, saying, "When you meet the Supreme Master, you should personally preach the Tao. This article is always a fulcrum. There is a son in the world who will show my feelings and it will not be passed on to my descendants. " After inheriting his father's business, Zhang Heng lived in Yangping Mountain to record Christians and demonstrate the correct way to treat others. Before he died, he warned his son Zhang Lu: "Your ancestors took the heavens and the earth as their heart and all sentient beings as their thoughts, traveled around the world, cured diseases for the people, established great education and inherited my teaching. You must be sincere, respectful, loyal and loyal again. " After persuasion, he appeared, and the record of the sword seal reached Lu.

Three generations of Zhang Ling's grandparents and grandchildren are the first three generations of leaders of Wudou Midao, and later generations are collectively referred to as "Three Zhang". Zhang Ling is the first generation of Shi Tian, also known as Zu Tianshi; Zhang Heng is the heir and Zhang Lu is the teacher.

Zhang Lu's word is public, so listen to your ancestors less. He used Taoists to benefit many people. Yizhou took Lu as Sima, and he was Sima, and led his troops to attack the satrap Su Valley in Hanzhong. Lu plotted against and annexed the department. After Ada's death, his son Liu Zhang succeeded him. Because Zhang Lu was not obedient, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother's family, which aroused Zhang Lu's rebellion. According to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu established political power with five-meter-long parishioners, and was named the town corps commander by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, leading Hanning to be a satrap and a separatist party. He was an influential Taoist leader in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was called "the master". He is a heavenly teacher and a monarch. From Shaanxi to Sichuan, a religious kingdom was established, with religious, political and military sovereignty, and a system of integrating politics and religion was established, which ruled Bashu for nearly 30 years.

Almost at the same time, Taiping Road, founded by Zhang Jiao brothers, rose in North China, attracting hundreds of thousands of believers in more than ten years, and connecting counties, countries, Fiona Fang and eight grandsons in North China. In A.D. 184, Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Scarf Uprising. Wearing yellow turbans, they shouted the slogan "Heaven (the Eastern Han Dynasty) is dead, Yellow Heaven (the new regime) will be established, and the world will be fine at the age of 60" to publicize the justice and inevitability of the revolution. In October, the world shook and shook the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Soon, the uprising failed, the rebels were brutally suppressed, Taiping Road was also hit hard, and a large number of backbone and Taoist priests were killed. Since then, they have been unable to carry out public activities and tend to disappear. However, the doctrine and influence of Taiping Dao have not disappeared. They have been handed down in a different way and integrated into the general torrent of Taoism, becoming a combination. Tianshidao was not hit, but it still maintained its position.

Zhang Lu's regime was able to maintain social stability and production development under the situation of civil strife in the late Han Dynasty, which was inseparable from its unique measures. He stipulated that the novice's name was "ghost pawn" and the tested believer's name was "drink offering". He is both a religious backbone and an administrative official, and there is no longer another official. This simplifies the establishment and reduces the burden on farmers. They organize the masses, practice martial arts and farm, and combine labor and martial arts; He also built a righteous house, where he hung the rice and meat. The walker measures his stomach and takes it, and folk music treats it. Wudoumi Road has Dojo all over the country, which is the religious and administrative center, and is called Daoism. At that time, there were twenty-four treatments. The first one was the rising tone, which was the headquarters of Wudou Rice Road, so Shi Tian also printed the "Dugong Seal of Rising tone".

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, who was determined to unify China, heard that Zhang Lu was prosperous and sent 100,000 troops to conquer Zhang Lu in the 20th year of Jian 'an (AD 2 15). Zhang Lu planned to retreat to Bazhong because of the strong enemy in the town, but his men were not allowed to burn down the treasure house, leaving it all to Cao Cao to receive. Cao Cao greatly appreciated this, worshiping Lu as the general of Zhennan and treating him as a guest gift, sealing Langzhong Hou and every household. His five sons are all listed as Hou, and Cao Cao also married Zhang Lu's daughter as his wife.

However, in view of the Yellow Scarf Rebellion, Cao Cao was afraid of Zhang Lu's catastrophe, so he moved his capital to tens of thousands of important towns in Hanzhong (Chang 'an), and Wudou Midao also moved to Wei, and Zhang Lu's influence was greatly weakened. After that, China suddenly fell into the war of the Sixteen Countries in Wuhu, and the Jin regime moved south to rebuild the dynasty. Christians followed the rulers south in succession. He felt that it was impossible for Bashu and Weibei to continue to develop, and he must take this opportunity to expand to the south of the Yangtze River. So he gave his son Zhang Sheng a seal and said, "Yunjin Mountain is in the east of the great river, also known as Longhu Mountain, and its founder is in Yuantan. You can print, sword, and record scriptures, often in the ground, and often teach your ancestors to the world. " During the Jian 'an period of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was ordered to move back to Longhu Mountain with the scriptures of Hanzhong to repair the former site of the ancestor Yuantan. Every year, at the age of three, he preached at the altar and learned more than a thousand people, which is Longhumen. Since then, it has spread for sixty-three generations, and the Taoist activities in China have moved from Bashu to Jiangnan, and Longhu Mountain has become the center of Taoism in Shi Tian, China.
