shangqing sect
The Qing Sect was created during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was derived from the Southern Celestial Master Sect. Its actual founder was Tao Hongjing, but Wei Huacun was the founder. Wei Huacun was a famous female Taoist priest in the Jin Dynasty. She was honored as "Lord Zixu" and "Lady Wei", and the people called her "Grandma Two Immortals". The Shangqing Sect was also called the Maoshan Sect because Tao Hongjing had retired to the Maoshan Mountain and was mainly active in the Maoshan area. The sect worshiped Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Taishang Laojun, and the main scriptures they cultivated were the Great Cave Scripture (also known as the Shangqing Scripture, developed from the Yellow Court Scripture). In terms of cultivation methods, the Shangqing Sect focused on adjusting the mind and cultivating the spirit. They emphasized the cultivation of the essence, qi, and spirit in the human body. They attached great importance to entering the temple and meditating on the image of the gods. They did not focus on refining external elixirs. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yi Sect, along with Longhu Mountain and Ding Xianfeng, were the three major Taoist talisman sects, known as the Three Mountain Talisman. The sect altar was called Mao Mountain. Mao Mountain was located at the junction of Jurong City and Jintan in Jiangsu Province. It had the reputation of being the first blessed land and the eighth heavenly cave of Shangqing Sect. In the Tang Dynasty, Mao Mountain was regarded as the base mountain of the Yi Sect. When Sima Chengzhen arrived, he opened Tiantai Mountain Dao Sect and Hengshan Dao Sect. In the history of Taoism, the Qing Sect had a unique status and influence.
Shangqing Qigong
Shangqing Qigong belonged to the Shangqing Sect of Daoist Qigong. There were many Daoist Qigong schools, and each school had differences in cultivation methods, order, realm, and so on. Shangqing Qigong of Shangqing Sect focused on cultivating Yin and Yang and life. It pursued the realm of returning to simplicity and the unity of heaven and man. Its ultimate goal was to prolong life and immortality. For example, the Shangqing Embryonic Breathing Technique was a simple and magical body-strengthening Qigong technique of Taoism. Relaxation was the prerequisite for cultivation, and it would be used throughout the entire process, including the relaxation of the mind and body. The practice posture was to naturally lie on one's back with a low pillow, bend one's knees, close to one's heels, and separate one's feet in a V-shape. One's hands were folded at the navel, and the Laogong acupoint was slightly pressed against the navel. After practicing for a period of time, one might have the effect of turning white hair to black, regrowing teeth, and so on.
Is Maoshan a Shangqing Sect?
The Maoshan Sect was another name for the Shangqing Sect. Because the Shangqing Sect was mainly active in the Maoshan area, it was also called the Maoshan Sect.
Is Maoshan Taiqing or Shangqing?
Mao Mountain was the birthplace of Shangqing Sect and had nothing to do with Taiqing. The Qing Sect was formed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was mainly based on the Shangqing Sutra, the Shangqing Great Cave Sutra, and the Huangting Sutra. It worshipped the female Taoist priest Wei Huacun as the founder of the sect. It took the Heavenly Lord of the Origin and the Supreme Taoist Lord as the highest gods. It emphasized the cultivation of the essence, qi, and spirit in the human body. It paid attention to entering the temple to calm down and remember the image of the gods. It did not focus on refining external elixirs. Its ancestral court was Maoshan, also known as Maoshan Sect.
Maoshan Shangqing Sect
The Shang Qing Sect of Mao Mountain was a sect of Taoism. It had a deep historical background. After Tao Hongjing, it was also called Maoshan Sect, and after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it became the mainstream of Taoism. After the Northern Song Dynasty, Maoshan Shangqing, Gezao Lingbao and Longhu Tianshi formed the Three Mountains Talisman Sect, which was gradually respected by the rulers. Maoshan was originally located in the southwest of Jiangsu Province, at the junction of Jurong and Jintan. It was about 10 kilometers long from north to south, 5 kilometers wide from east to west, and covered an area of more than 50 square kilometers. The main peak, Damao Peak, was 372.5 meters above sea level. Maoshan was a famous Taoist holy land. Maoshan Taoism enjoyed a high reputation and status in the history of Taoism in China. It was known as "Immortal Mansion of Qin and Han Dynasties, Home of Prime Ministers of Liang and Tang Dynasties","First Blessed Land, Eighth Cave" and so on. Zhao Faxuan, the 82nd generation successor of his sect, whose real name was Zhao Zilong, studied the Book of Changes and other mathematical techniques since he was young. When he became an adult, he officially entered the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan to study Taoism.

The Supreme Pure Realm and the Supreme Pure Realm were the Supreme Pure Realm and the Supreme Pure Realm of the Three Pure Realms. The god of the Supreme Clarity Realm was the Supreme Primogenitor Daode (Supreme Elder), who was above the 33 heavens, and the god of the Supreme Clarity Realm was the Supreme Primogenitor Lingbao, who was above the 34 heavens.
Who is Shangqing Taoist?
In the stories related to ancient myths, Daoist Shangqing was a character. In the novel, Immortal Pangu, Shangqing Taoist had extraordinary abilities. For example, he could resist attacks through various means and display powerful Taoist skills. When he was facing Yingzhao's attack, he could easily resolve it. At the same time, in the setting of the story, he also participated in protecting characters and subduing other characters. For example, he went to rescue Houtu and tried to subdue the Black Dragon King who had killed too many people. In the World of Gods, Daoist Shangqing existed alongside Daoist Yuqing and Daoist Taiqing. However, they were all incarnations of Laozi (Taishang Laojun) and were not the same as the Three Pure Ones of Taoism in reality. In the traditional belief of Taoist culture, Lingbao Tianzun of Shangqing was one of the Three Pure Ones. Some people believed that the prototype of Tongtian (the original character of the Ming Dynasty's demon novel, Investiture of the Gods) was Lingbao Tianzun of Shangqing. In addition, there were places named after Shangqing, such as Shangqing Town in China, whose name was related to the popularity of Taoism.
Who is the founder of Shangqing?
In the novel "Ancient Godly Emperor," there was a character named Shangqing Ancestral Master. He was a figure from Kunlun's Field. He was previously thought to be dead but was actually still alive. He hid in the real Heavenly Sword Hall (unlike the Heavenly Sword Hall that Zhang Ruochen and the others had explored, it might just be the outer hall. The real Heavenly Sword Hall was in another space). The one who returned to Kunlun 200,000 years ago might just be his incarnation. In Taoist culture, Shangqing referred to the Primogenitor Lingbao of the Three Pure Ones. Its Christmas Day was the summer solstice. The Three Pure Ones also included the Primogenitor Yuqing and the Primogenitor Taiqing. The actual founder of the Shangqing Sect was Tao Hongjing, but Wei Huacun was the founder. Wei Huacun was respected as "Zixu Yuanjun" and "Madam Wei", and the people called him "Grandma Two Immortals".
