Research On The Founding And Developnemt Of Louguan Taoism In Medieval China

In the Middle Chinese,Chinese religion entered a new stage of development.Since the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,in the field of ideology and culture,the three schools of Confucianism,Buddhism,and Taoism have conflicted and merged,and they have continued to communicate and dialogue in the struggle.Finally,in the Tang Dynasty,a religious pattern of harmonious coexistence of the three religions was formed.Among them,Taoism gained considerable development.During the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,Taoism actively invoked the doctrines of Buddhism and Confucianism,constantly reformed itself,gradually moved from the folk to the upper class of society,and was recognized by the rulers.By the time of the Tang Dynasty,due to the belief in Taoism and worship of Lao Tzu by the rulers,and the continuous efforts of Taoists in successive dynasties,their own theories were gradually improved,and they could compare with Confucianism and Buddhism.Therefore,their social status was prominent for a time and honored for later generations.Louguan Taoism is a typical example of the development of Taoism in the Middle Chinese.It originated in the Wei Jin Dynasties,formed in the Northern Wei Dynasty,and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The diversity and complexity of religious relations in the Middle Chinese also had a profound impact on the development of Chinese Taoism and the creation and spread of Taoist culture.In terms of formation and development,the Wei Jin Dynasties were the initial stage of the formation of Louguan Taoism.Primitive Taoism became more mature and standardized,and its doctrines and principles continued to be perfected.As a result,many tributary sects were derived.Louguan Taoism came into being on this occasion..Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties,Louguan Taoism has emerged in large numbers,the scale of temples has been expanding,the teachings and teachings have gradually been completed,and Taoist organizations have become increasingly mature.At this point,after a long period of development and evolution,Louguan Taoism became a major part of Taoism that flourished in the north of China.The Tang royal family believed in Taoism in order to raise its own status,which played an important role in promoting the development of Louguan Taoism.Louguan Taoism was officially recognized by the royal family due to its historical legends and the active assistance of Louguan Taoists in the early days of the founding of the country.Louguantai It has also become a royal Taoist temple.Since then,the emperors of successive dynasties have come here to pay respects and usher in its peak development.In terms of practice,Louguan Taoism obeys Lao Tzu as the sole ancestor,and regards Lao Tzu’s five thousand words as the master and devotion scripture.At the same time,it advocates Tao-oriented,and implements the practice principle of emphasizing Tao and neglecting skills,and precedent for life.The Taoist priests of Louguan mainly focus on pure cultivation,surpassing the normal mentality of happiness and fear of death in their practice,and upholding an attitude of detachment and detachment towards life.In terms of religious relations,Louguan Taoism absorbs Confucianism while simultaneously absorbing the essence of the northern and southern Taoism,enriching and expanding its teachings,improving its thought,organization and classics,and actively participating in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.Buddhism’s refutation of Louguan Taoism prompted Taoism to further transform into a mature religion,and its Taoist principles were further improved..The establishment of the Tong Dao Guan in Northern Zhou Dynasty has opened up an opportunity for the three religions to move from opposition to integration.During this period,it achieved rapid development in all aspects,reached maturity,and was supported by the rulers,becoming an official Taoist sect.Louguan Taoism has made a huge contribution to the cultural construction of Taoism.During the Wei,Jin,Sui and Tang Dynasties,Louguan Taoist priests participated in the collection and compilation of Taoist books.The teachings of the scriptures are the teachings.The collection and arrangement of the scriptures by Louguan Taoists avoided the loss of many important classics.Louguan Taoism also has a profound influence on the writing of Taoist poems in Zhongnan Mountain.It extends and expands the subject matter and connotation of Taoist poems in Zhongnan Mountain.These preserved Taoist scriptures and poems are an important part of my country’s cultural heritage.
