The development of artificial intelligence could be traced back to the 1950s. The Dartmouth Conference in 1956 was regarded as a landmark event for the birth of artificial intelligence. The early stage (1956 - 1974) was the symbolist AI stage. Its core was logical reasoning. Based on the assumption that human intelligence was a symbolic operation, it represented knowledge through formal logic rules and inferred conclusions. The 1960s to 1980s were the era of rule systems and expert systems. Expert systems simulated the decision-making process of experts in specific fields by manually writing a large number of rules. However, relying on manually written rules lacked flexibility and self-learning ability, leading to the first "AI winter." In the 1990s, with the development of computer hardware and the increase in the amount of data, machine learning rose. Machine learning built prediction models by automatically learning statistics from data, no longer relying on hand-written rules. In 1997, the Deep Blue computer defeated the world chess champion Kasparov, which was a manifestation of AI surpassing human ability in specific fields. In the 2010s, deep learning became the focus of the 21st century. It was based on an artificial neural network, inspired by the structure of the human brain. It processed and learned complex data through multi-layered neural connections. The success of deep learning in the Imagenet image recognition competition in 2012 was a major breakthrough. Since then, it has been widely used in speech recognition, natural language processing, and many other fields. The year 2020 was the era of large language models and modern AI. Large language models represented by GMT- 3 and GMT- 4 could learn massive amounts of text data, generate natural language, answer questions, and do creative writing. They had been widely used in customer service, education, creative writing, and many other fields. "A Short History of the Future: Legends of the Intelligent Era" was equally exciting.

The development of Taoism could be divided into the following historical stages: 1. ** Origin Stage **: Its source of thought can be traced back to the "worship of ghosts and gods" and "witchcraft culture" in ancient times. The Taoism theory represented by the Laozi and Zhuangzi culture of the hundred schools of thought laid the foundation for the establishment of Taoism. Laozi left behind the core classic of Tao Te Ching. In the Western Han Dynasty, although Taoism had withdrawn from the political arena, it had merged the study of immortals with the study of Huang and Lao. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the influence of the Buddhist system, Taoism was founded with Taoism as its core. The appearance of Taiping Dao and Wudou Rice Dao marked the official establishment of Taoism. The three books, Taiping Jing, Zhouyi Can Tong Qi and Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu, were the symbols of the formation of Taoist beliefs and theories. 2. ** Early Stage of Development **: - ** Northern and Southern Dynasties **: Get the support of the emperor and nobles to rise to the top of society. Ge Hong, Kou Qianzhi, Lu Xiujing, Tao Hongjing, and others worked hard to reform Taoism, and Taoism became one of the orthodox religions alongside Buddhism. - ** Sui and Tang Dynasties **: It was further developed by the ruling class. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty promoted the reform of Taoism. During this period, many famous people who believed in Taoism such as Li Bai, Sun Simiao, and Wu Daozi appeared. - ** Northern Song Dynasty **: Zhenzong began to use Taoism to numb the people and intoxicated themselves. In addition to the Maoshan Sect, Longshan, Yingtan, Jiangxi, also gradually rose. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the New Dao Sect, such as the Quanzhen Sect, appeared. Wang Chongyang founded this sect on Mount Zhongnan and took in seven disciples. 3. ** Division and development stages of schools **: After the Yuan Dynasty, two schools, Quanzhen School and Zhengyi School, gradually formed. The two schools were different in terms of cultivation and discipline. Zhengyi School was distributed in the south, and its discipline was relatively loose. They could cultivate at home, eat meat and drink wine, marry and have children. Quanzhen School was more popular in the north, emphasizing the cultivation of inner alchemy. Cultivators lived in Taoist temples, and could not marry or eat vegetarian food. 4. ** Rise and Fall Stage **: - ** Ming Dynasty **: In the middle period, the emperors were superstitious about Taoism and tried to become immortals. Taoism was valued and interfered in politics. However, Taoism in the Ming Dynasty declined as a whole, and its influence on the ruling class was far less than that of the Tang and Song Dynasties. - ** Qing Dynasty **: The royal family respected Tibetan Buddhism and strictly restricted Taoism. Taoism declined even more and its activities were mainly among the people. - ** Modern times **: Since the Opium War, China has become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. Taoism has been further declining under the oppression of imperialism and the impact of Western ideology. The Taoist culture is low, the religious knowledge is lacking, and the organization is loose. However, there are still Taoist priests who devote themselves to cultivation to continue the lineage of the Dharma.

The development of artificial intelligence could be traced back to the 1950s, and its development process was as follows: 1. ** Early Symbolist AI (1956 - 1974)** - The core was logical reasoning. The basic idea was to represent knowledge through formal logical rules and use reasoning mechanisms to draw conclusions. During this period, based on the assumption that human intelligence was essentially the operation of symbols, attempts to simulate human intelligence by designing complex symbolic operating systems were the leading research model of early AI. 2. ** The Rise of Expert Systems (1980 - 1987)** - The core was rule-based reasoning, which was to code expert knowledge into "if-then" rules, and then use the reasoning engine to operate on these rules to solve the problem. 3. ** Rise of machine learning and statistics (1990s-2010s)** - The core was the theory of statistics. By learning the statistics from the data, the prediction model could be built to predict the unknown data. Machine learning studies how to make computer systems automatically improve performance through experience, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. 4. ** Deep learning and large-scale neural network era (2012 -present)** - The core was the multi-layered neural network. Deep learning was a branch of machine learning. It used multi-layered artificial neural networks to learn the representation of data and made breakthroughs in image recognition, natural language processing, and other fields. This development benefited from the rapid development of big data and computing power. Massive amounts of data provided rich materials for model training, and powerful computing power made it possible to train complex models. In 2015, Academician Zhang Bo proposed the prototype of the third-generation artificial intelligence system. By the end of 2018, he officially proposed the theoretical framework of the third-generation artificial intelligence system, confirming that the development of artificial intelligence had entered the third generation.
