A Study on the Culture of the Meishan Sect of Zhengyi Yuan Emperor
The Meishan Sect's culture was rich in content. From the origin, the Meishan Sect's culture originated from the ancient Meishan area in the middle of Hunan Province. It had a deep origin with the ancient Meishan area. The ancestor of Meishan witchcraft was the ancient Emperor Chiyou, and later generations of Zhang Wulang (some said to be the incarnation of Chiyou) made the Meishan witchcraft system complete. The Meishan Sect was originally a witchcraft sect. In the process of development, it integrated the local witchcraft and Taoism. It respected the Taoist gods, the Three Yuan, the Taishang Laojun, the ancestors of the past generations, and Zhang Wulang, the founder of the Meishan Sect. Its teachings aimed to exorcise ghosts and catch evil spirits, emphasizing "saving the world", and its main means were exorcism and praying to the gods. In terms of regional transmission, the Meishan School's culture spread to the south and west, spreading to Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places. It had a greater influence in the northern and eastern Guangxi regions of Guangxi. In the south, there were different degrees of belief and practice among the Yao, Zhuang, Miao, Bai, Shui, Tujia, Mulao, Gelao, Maonan, Dong and other ethnic minorities. The Meishan Sect's culture and Taoism were closely connected and infiltrated each other. For example, the Meishan Sect's ritual activities and related stories in the ceremony reflected this fusion. Its statue, especially the inverted image of Zhang Wulang, symbolized the hunting life of the Meishan ancestors and the worship of hunting heroes. It had a significant influence on the Nuo culture of the southern ethnic minorities, such as the Meishan Nuo mask and the altar map of the Nuo altar master in Guilin Nuo Festival in the Song Dynasty. The literary works of the Ming Dynasty, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, also incorporated Meishan religious elements. The Meishan culture was different before and after the "opening of Meishan" in the fifth year of Xining of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1072). In the early stage, it was the early Miao Yao culture, which had an "independent root". In the later stage, it was the immigration culture of the Han people. It was a compound culture formed by the integration of foreign advanced culture and local indigenous civilization. It became an important source of modern and modern Huxiang culture. The content was extensive, involving the navy, witchcraft, folk songs, local customs, delicacies, ancient history, and so on. The folk magic and culture of the traditional navy of Master Mei was the most representative part of the Meishan culture. The "Five Rampant Soldiers" in the folk Taoism of Meishan originated from the Battle of Zhulu in Chiyou's era. Later, it was conferred by the King of Tang. It included soldiers from different directions, and the Rampant Soldiers had unique images and characteristics in the process of execution. In terms of the legends of the Meishan Sect culture, Zhang the Fifth had originally learned Daoism after hunting in the mountains, as well as the legends of him and the daughter of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord. All of these reflected the richness of Meishan Sect's culture from different aspects, and provided various materials for the study of Meishan Sect's culture.

Meishan Witchcraft Culture
The Meishan witchcraft culture was an important part of the Meishan culture and had a unique meaning. The ancestor of the Meishan Witchcraft Sect was believed to be the ancient Emperor Chiyou, and the later generation Zhang Wulang (some said to be the incarnation of Chiyou) made the Meishan Witchcraft System complete. It had a system of gods, talismans, performances, associations, and doctrines. The male god Zhang Wulang was the founder of Meishan. He was regarded as a hunting expert, a craftsman who built mountains and roads, and a hero who fought against foreign invasions. His statue was often worshipped in the shrine. Meishan Witch Sect worships Taishang Laojun on the altar, ancestors of past dynasties on the middle altar, and Zhang Wulang of Meishan Qijiao on the lower altar. There were many witchcraft spells, talisman water, and Dharma methods in the Meishan area, such as the Altar Turning Mantra and the Wulang Mantra. Among the people, the rituals of the Meishan Witchcraft Sect were often used to deal with special situations, such as the legendary exorcism. However, it should be noted that some of the superstitious content lacked scientific basis. Meishan's witchcraft culture originated from the ancient Meishan area. The early Meishan culture was the Miao Yao culture, which could be traced back to the ancient Jiuli and Sanmiao. It had an independent root and was less affected by foreign cultures. It retained a rich local original ecological culture. In the later period, it was a compound culture formed by the integration of foreign advanced culture and local indigenous civilization. It became an important source of modern Huxiang culture. Its influence not only involved the central Hunan region, but also radiated to the surrounding provinces and even Southeast Asia.

Zhengyi Maoshan Sect
Zhengyi Maoshan Sect was an important sect of Taoism. The Yi Sect originated from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It took Shangqing Sutra, Shangqing Dadong Sutra and Huangting Sutra as its main classics. It worshiped the female Taoist priest Wei Huacun as the founder of the sect, and the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Taishang Taoist Lord as the supreme gods. This sect emphasized the cultivation of the essence, qi, and spirit in the human body. It attached great importance to entering the temple and meditating on the image of the gods. It did not re-refine external elixirs. The ancestral court was Maoshan, so it was also called Maoshan Sect. In the course of Taoism's development, the various talisman schools in the south of the Yuan Dynasty gradually merged into the Zhengyi School (developed from Tianshi Taoism), and the Maoshan Sect (Yi School) in Jurong, Jiangsu Province, which passed down Shangqing Dharma, was also unified into the Zhengyi School. After Tao Hongjing, the Qing Sect was also called the Maoshan Sect and became the mainstream of Taoism after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Northern Song Dynasty, Shangqing of Maoshan, Lingbao of Gezao, and Heavenly Master Longhu formed the Three Mountains Talisman Sect, which was gradually respected by the rulers. It had some unique techniques and spells, such as the Five Strongmen Talisman, the Palm Enchanting Seal, etc., but there were also evil spells such as the Seven Fiends Gathering Body (this evil method violated ethics and morality and should not be respected).
Which sects are there in the Zhengyi Sect?

Zhengyi was expelled from the sect
The Righteous One Sect had a situation where they were expelled from the sect. For example, the Righteous One Supreme Purity Heaven Heart Sect's Nine Heavens Thunder Altar had a notice of expulsion. Because some disciples had deceived their teachers, destroyed their ancestors, betrayed their teachers, spread rumors, destroyed the Taoist community, criticized the mysterious subjects, spread Taoism, spread rumors, did not respect their teachers, had an improper style, improper behavior, did not learn well, and lost their way, they established a three-day report to the Thunder Altar according to the subject. According to the law, they respectfully carried out the "Thunder Seizing the Book, Withdrawing the Army, Cutting the Record and Showing the Law" to expel these disciples from the sect, cut off their relations with the sect, and cut off their ties with the altar. From then on, their actions had nothing to do with the sect, and what they did under false names was regarded as bad behavior.

Is the Zhengyi Sect strict in accepting disciples?
The Righteous Sect was more strict in accepting disciples. The Righteous Sect required all apprentices to have a devout heart. Before becoming a true disciple, they had to go through a certain amount of time and trials. Only by passing these trials could they be officially accepted as a disciple. Secondly, all the apprentices must have a certain moral cultivation and psychological quality, because practicing Taoism required the pursuit of transcending the world's troubles. This required the apprentices to have the qualities of pure self-discipline, indifference to fame and fortune, and perseverance. Finally, the apprentices were required to undergo strict teaching and practical training. This training included various physical and psychological exercises, such as meditation, meditation, breathing, etc. The apprentices needed to invest enough time and energy to practice and practice in order to achieve higher achievements on the path of cultivating Taoism.

The three most taboo things of the Zhengyi Sect
The Zhengyi Sect had four taboos, which were beef, mullet, wild goose, and dog meat. If there were three things that were most taboo, they might be three of them, such as beef, dog meat, and wild geese. Cows worked all their lives to help all living beings, dogs served their masters all their lives, and wild geese lived alone without marriage. From the folk saying, these three animals reflected the qualities of loyalty, righteousness, and integrity, so the Taoist masters did not eat these animals. However, the Zhengyi Sect generally did not prohibit meat and spicy food except during the fasting period, but these four types of food were absolutely not eaten.
