The Birth and Development of the World in Taoism
The concept of the birth and development of the world in Taoism was influenced in many ways. In terms of the theory of the creation of Yin and Yang, the Taiping Sutra followed the viewpoint of "one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things" as described in Lao Tzu. This was different from the Confucianists 'view of "Tai Chi gives birth to the Two Elements, the Two Elements give birth to the Four Images, and the Four Images give birth to the Eight Trigrams". The origin of Taoism was closely related to Taiping Jing. Under the influence of Confucianism's integration of heaven and man, Taiping Jing was mixed with health preservation, immortals, talisman water, and other contents. It was also embellished with the Taoist view of the universe. In the theory of Yin and Yang Disasters, he inherited the Confucian concept of the unity of heaven and man and complicated it, designing a political system of "man imitating heaven and earth". At the same time, he absorbed the concept of shamanism to create a polytheistic system, extending the theory of cultivating Tao and becoming an immortal. His immortal system included gods, true people, immortals, Taoists, saints, sages, etc. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao was influenced by the Taiping Jing to establish Taiping Road. At first, he used the talisman water to cure diseases and preach. Later, he developed into a militarized organization to oppose the rule of the Han Dynasty. After being suppressed, he fell into a low point. At the same time, Zhang Xiu was promoting Taoism in the name of curing diseases in Hanzhong area of Shaanxi Province. He prayed to cure diseases through spells. His organization was called "Five Buckets of Rice Sect" because it charged five buckets of rice per person. The organization was relatively crude. After Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, he relied on his foundation to establish China's first theocratic regime. He called himself "Shijun", and the members were divided into "ghost soldiers" and "sacrificial wine". Later, he claimed that Zhang Ling was his grandfather (namely Zhang Daoling, regarded as the founder of Taoism, Zhang Tianshi). After he was incorporated by Cao Cao, the Wudou Rice Sect was preserved in the form of "Tianshi Taoism". Ge Hong had made great contributions to the development of Taoism in the Western Jin Dynasty. Previously, he had mainly been cultivating by drawing talismans and incantations. After that, high-level Taoist priests began to cultivate by refining pills. Ge Hong advocated the dual cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism, demanding obedience to the relationship between monarch and minister, removing the part of mass movement in Taoism, and making Taoism move toward the upper class of the ruling class. It formed a religion that the upper class and literati participated in and divided into several schools. In the Northern Dynasty, Kou Qianzhi established the Tianshi Sect on the basis of the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, with Taishang Laojun as the highest god. In the Southern Dynasty, the Tianshi Sect was divided into two branches. The Lingbao Sect established by Lu Xiujing (Southern Tianshi Sect) had Lingbao Tianzun as the highest god. The Shangqing Tianzun Sect established by Tao Hongjing (Maoshan Sect) had Shangqing Tianzun as the highest god. In the Northern Dynasty, the Tianshi Sect and Lingbao Sect had a clear tendency to enter the secular world, while the Shangqing Sect pursued the secular world and paid attention to personal cultivation.

The Origin and Development of Taoism
The origin of Taoism could be traced back to the folk beliefs and myths of ancient China. These combined with Taoist philosophy and thought formed the basic ideas and beliefs of Taoism. The inheritance of its knowledge system mainly originated from the following aspects: ancient religion and folk witchcraft. The ancient ancestors had the idea that all things had spirits and the soul was immortal, resulting in the worship of nature and ghosts and gods. During the Shang Dynasty, they developed to believe in the Emperor of Heaven and the mandate of heaven. There were witches who communicated with ghosts and gods. In the Zhou Dynasty, the worship of ghosts and gods further developed into three systems. From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were people who studied immortals. During the Warring States Period, the belief in immortals was widespread. Many emperors sent alchemists to seek immortals and immortal medicine. The philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi in the pre-Qin period and the Taoism of the Qin and Han Dynasties were reflected in works such as Zhuangzi's Free and Unfettered Travel, Confucianism and the thoughts of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, as well as ancient China medicine and sports and hygiene knowledge. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huang-Lao doctrine formed by respecting the Yellow Emperor and Laozi laid the foundation for the development of Taoism. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the government was in chaos and the people were suffering, Zhang Daoling established the Five Buckets of Rice Path (also known as the Zhengyi Alliance Wei Path) in Heming Mountain of Shu Prefecture. This was the beginning of the shaping of Taoism. At the same time, Zhang Jiao established the Path of Peace, but it was not passed down because of the suppression of the rebellion. The development of Taoism could be roughly divided into three stages: Ancient Taoism (from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties) pursued immortality and immortality as its main goal, focusing on the research and practice of alchemy and health preservation. The Middle Ages Taoism (Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing Dynasties) focused on internal cultivation and external refinement. It emphasized the cultivation of the mind and external alchemy in order to achieve the realm of body and mind. Modern Taoism (after the founding of the People's Republic of China), on the basis of inheriting tradition, actively adapted to the needs of social change and cultural development, and explored a path that was compatible with the socialistic society. The main schools of Taoism were Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi Taoism. The Quanzhen Sect focused on internal cultivation, emphasizing personal cultivation and moral practice. They advocated achieving immortality through cultivation, focusing on the idea of purity, returning to nature, and emphasizing the harmony between man and nature and social ethics. The Zhengyi Sect focused on external cultivation, emphasizing rituals such as talismans, fasting, and praying for blessings. They advocated exorcism, blessing, and longevity through external rituals. They emphasized the idea of prayer, blessing, and peace, emphasizing communication and communication with the gods. There were also differences in religious etiquette, clothing, music, and other aspects between the two. There were also differences in geographical distribution and holy lands. In the process of development, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was the period of development of Taoism, the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Northern Song were the prosperous period, the Southern Song, Jin, Yuan were the period of division, and the Ming Dynasty was the period of secularism. This development was related to the royal family's recognition of it. A sect that kept up with the times could keep up with the pace of society, but if it did not keep up with the times, it might be eliminated by the royal family and go downhill.

The Origin and Development of Taoism
Taoism originated from ancient religion and folk witchcraft. The ancient people's concept of all things having spirits produced the worship of nature and ghosts and gods. In the Shang Dynasty, it developed into a belief in the Emperor of Heaven and the mandate of heaven. When something happened, Wuzu would ask the Emperor of Heaven for an answer through divination. Wuzu was a religious professional who specialized in communicating with ghosts and gods and humans. In the Zhou Dynasty, the worship of ghosts and gods developed further, forming three systems: Heavenly God, Human Ghost, and Houtu. From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, legends of immortals and alchemists rose. Many monarchs sent people to seek immortals and immortal medicine. At the same time, the philosophy of Lao Tzu and Zhuang Tzu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the theory of Confucianism and the five elements of Yin and Yang, ancient medicine, sports and hygiene laid the foundation for the establishment of Taoism. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the theory of Huang Lao was formed. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the government was in chaos, Zhang Daoling established the Five Buckets of Rice Path (also known as the Zhengyi Alliance Wei Path) in Heming Mountain of Shu Prefecture (now Dayi County, Sichuan Province). This was the beginning of the shaping of Taoism. At the same time, Zhang Jiao established the Road of Peace (Yellow Turban Army), but the Road of Peace was suppressed due to rebellion and was not passed down. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiping Jing, Zhouyi Can Tong Qi, and Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu were the symbols of the formation of Taoist beliefs and theories. Generally speaking, the Eastern Han Dynasty was the beginning of Taoism. Taoism officially had a physical activity at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when the Taiping Road and the Five Buckets of Rice Road appeared. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the religious form gradually became complete and popular, and many factions were divided. Laodan was regarded as the ancestor of the religion, and the Taishang Laojun was honored. The Tao Te Ching, Zhengyi, and Taiping Dongjing were the main classics. The Three Pure Ones were regarded as the highest gods, who wanted people to break away from reality and become immortals through alchemy. The development of Taoism can be roughly divided into three stages: ancient Taoism, medieval Taoism, and modern Taoism.

History of the Origin and Development of Taoism
The origin and development of Taoism was a long process, and it could not be achieved overnight. ** 1. Basic Knowledge of Origin ** 1. ** Ancient religion and folk witchcraft ** - The ancient people's concept of all things having spirits gave rise to the worship of nature. They believed that the soul of a person would not die after death, and then there was the worship of ghosts and gods. In the Shang Dynasty, the worship of nature developed into the belief in the Heavenly Emperor and the mandate of heaven. There were witches who sought answers from the Heavenly Emperor through divination. The witches used songs and dances to subdue the gods and used talismans to exorcise ghosts. The gods used words to please the gods. In the Zhou Dynasty, the worship of ghosts and gods developed into three systems: the heavenly god, the human ghost, and the earth god. 2. ** Legends of Immortals and Alchemists from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties ** - In ancient primitive society, there were people who learned to be immortals. During the Warring States Period, the belief in immortals was widespread. King Wei of Qi, King Xuan of Qi, King Zhao of Yan, Qin Shihuang, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had all sent alchemists to the sea to seek immortals and immortal medicine. People like Song Wuji and Zheng Boqiao were all famous alchemists. 3. ** Pre-Qin Laozi and Zhuangzi's philosophy and Qin and Han Daoism ** - Zhuangzi's Xiaoyao You, some chapters in Liezi, and Qu Yuan's Lisao all provided the source of thought for the Taoist knowledge system. 4. ** Confucianism, Yin-Yang and Five Elements Thoughts, Ancient Medicine, Sports and Health Knowledge ** - Confucianism, the thoughts of Yin and Yang, and the five elements, as well as the medical methods commonly used by the ancient sects (ancient medicine was related to sports and hygiene knowledge), also constituted the foundation of the knowledge of Taoism. 5. ** The foundation of Huang Lao's theory ** - In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Huang-Lao doctrine, which was formed by respecting the Yellow Emperor and Laozi, was mainly based on Taoism and adopted the views of other schools of thought. It was used for the recuperation of the country and the people, which also laid a certain foundation for the establishment of Taoism. ** 2. Creation process ** At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government was in chaos and wars were frequent. Zhang Daoling's father loved the art of immortals. Zhang Daoling himself traveled to visit Taoism. He first built a house to refine pills in Yunjin Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and then moved to Heming Mountain in Sichuan Province. During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (126 - 144), Zhang Daoling established the Five Buckets of Rice Path in Heming Mountain of Shu Prefecture (now Dayi County, Sichuan Province), also known as the Zhengyi League Wei Path. This was the beginning of the shaping of Taoism. At the same time, the Road of Peace, which Zhang Jiao had founded, was suppressed due to the rebellion and lost its legacy. The relationship between Taoism and Laozi only began when Zhang Lu asked his subordinates to recite 5,000 words of Laozi. In the Han Dynasty, Huang and Lao were called together. The Yellow Emperor did not have any works, so he was under Laozi's name. The first official classic to develop Taoism was the Taiping Jing, which was completed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty could be regarded as the initial period of Taoism. The main classics were Tao Te Ching (namely Laozi), Zhengyi Jing, and Taiping Dongjing. ** 3. Development History ** 1. ** Late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties ** - It was an important period for the development of Taoism. In the Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong's Baopuzi had an important position in the Taoist system. Ge Hong himself was also regarded as an important figure in Taoism. 2. ** During the Northern and Southern Dynasties ** - Taoism flourished because it was recognized by the ruling class. 3. ** Tang and Song Dynasties ** - Due to the respect of the royal family, the temples flourished, and the number of believers increased. The development of Taoism reached its peak. 4. ** In terms of sect development ** - In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were the Taiping Road and the Five Buckets of Rice Road. The Five Buckets of Rice Road later developed into the Tianshi Road and the Zhengyi Road. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Jin Dynasty, there were many sects such as the Southern Heavenly Master Sect, the Northern Heavenly Master Sect, the Louguan Sect, the Qing Sect, and the Lingbao Sect. After Tao Hongjing, the Yi Sect was called 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 respected. During the Song Dynasty, the Zhen Da Sect, the Tai Yi Sect, and the Quan Zhen Sect appeared in the north. In the south, the Shenxiao Sect, the Qingwei Sect, and the Jindan Sect were formed. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Talisman Sect was merged into the Zhengyi Sect, the Jindan Sect's Southern Sect was merged into the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect was divided into the Northern and Southern Sects. After that, the Northern Sect's Seven Truths formed seven divisions. After the Yuan Dynasty, the main sects of Taoism were Quanzhen and Zhengyi. Zhengyi was mainly spread in Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other places. Quanzhen required people to be vegetarian, become monks and live in Taoist temples. Zhengyi did not have these regulations.

The Historical Stages of the Development of Taoism
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.

In the world of Confucianism and Taoism
He was cultivating in the world of the Confucian Way. The Supreme Saint of Confucianism was a world where scholars grasped the power of heaven and earth. With talent, poems could kill enemies, words could destroy armies, and articles could stabilize the world. The protagonist had cultivated to the level of the Supreme Saint of Confucianism through the copying system, and could use the power of poems and articles to defeat his enemies. In this world, there were other sects of Immortal Cultivation, such as the Heavenly Mages, the Church Knights, and the Evil Spirit Sorcerers. The details and methods of cultivation were not mentioned in the information provided.
World Map in Taoism
There was a Taoist view that the Neijing Map looked almost the same as the outline of the world map. Rivers were like human meridians, mountains were like bones, and caves were like acupuncture points. This phenomenon reflected the Taoist concept of the unity of heaven and man, suggesting the deep connection between the earth and life. However, this was only a reflection of the unique understanding of the world map based on Taoist ideas, not a world map drawn in the traditional sense.

The World in the Eyes of Taoism
The worldview of Taoism was deeply influenced by Taoism. The general ideology of Taoism, Tao Te Ching, stated that "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things" was an important foundation of the Taoist worldview. From a philosophical point of view, the universe contained infinite time and space, namely one-dimensional world, two-dimensional world, and three-dimensional world. Daoists called the one-dimensional world Dao, the two-dimensional world non-existence, and the three-dimensional world existence. The three-dimensional world was made up of tangible and qualitative parts of matter. For example, things that people could directly see, touch, or could directly see and touch belonged to the category of existence. In terms of the immortal system of Taoism, such as the world system of the Investiture of the Gods, the School of Enlightenment and the School of Jie were the strongest before the Investiture of the Gods War. The doctrine of the School of Enlightenment was to follow the heavens, explain the way of heaven, divide all things into three, six, nine grades, and educate them according to their talents. The doctrine of the School of Jie was to teach all things without distinction, and to intercept a glimmer of life for all things. Anyone who had the heart of Dao could join the sect. Moreover, before the God Deification War, the immortals were relatively free and undisciplined. The Heavenly Court had not yet officially opened, and there were no restrictions from the Heavenly Rules. In addition, Taoism respected one's own heart and acted according to the situation. It advocated the concept of "my life is in me, not in heaven", which also reflected the cognitive attitude of Taoism towards the world.

What are the historical development and main sects of Taoism?
Taoism was founded by Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty and had a history of more than 1800 years. Its development was as follows: In the Eastern Han Dynasty, two major sects of Taoism were born, namely the "Five Buckets of Rice Path" founded by Zhang Daoling and the "Taiping Path" founded by Zhang Jiao. However, the Taiping Path fell into oblivion after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising. The Five Buckets of Rice Path was later called the Tianshi Path and the Zhengyi Path. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Cao Cao adopted a policy of division and migration to the Five Dipper Rice Sect, which expanded it to the north and the Central Plains, and was accepted by the ruling class and the gentry. Ge Hong of Danyang established a theoretical system of immortality for Taoism. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kou Qianzhi and Lu Xiujing reformed Taoism, making its rules, precepts, rituals, etc. basically fixed. Tao Hongjing established the immortal pedigree for Taoism. In the Tang Dynasty, the belief of the rulers developed rapidly. It reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of Taoist scholars emerged to promote theoretical construction. In the Song Dynasty, the worship of Dao was even more prosperous. Under the support of Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong, it formed two climaxes of the worship of Dao, and its status almost reached the level of the state religion. In the Yuan Dynasty, all the sects flourished and gradually merged, especially Quanzhen Sect and Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty strengthened their management and officially divided the Taoist factions into Zhengyi Sect and Quanzhen Sect. After the Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne, Taoism received great support, but after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, its status in the upper class gradually declined and went to the people. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty suppressed Taoism, but it flourished among the people. After the Revolution of 1911, Taoism lost the support of the feudal rulers and gradually declined. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it announced a policy of freedom of religious belief and adopted a policy of unity for Taoism. The main sects of Taoism: 1. Zhengyi Dao was the Five Buckets of Rice Dao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoist priests were allowed to cultivate at home, eat meat, or get married and have children. Taoist temples were usually temples for their descendants. The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain had been passed down by the descendants of Celestial Master Zhang for 63 generations. He majored in talismans, sacrifices, prayers, and chanting. 2. [Quanzhen Sect: Wang Chongyang founded it on Mount Zhongnan during the Song and Jin Dynasties.] The Taoist priest had to become a monk or a vegetarian. The Taoist temple was called the Ten Directional Jungle. 3. True Great Taoism: Originally known as the Great Taoism, it was founded by Liu Deren in the early Jin Dynasty and later passed on to Li Xicheng. It was recognized and supported by Emperor Xianzong of the Yuan Dynasty. Following Lao Tzu's tenets of "quiet inaction","less selfish desires", and "kindness and thrift", he required his followers to be loyal, filial, sincere, and modest, to eliminate evil and promote good, to forsake desire and endure hardship, to benefit the people and love things. He did not advocate talismans, nor did he advocate the art of "ascending to immortality and longevity." In addition, in the history of Taoism, there were also many sects such as the Southern Heavenly Master Sect, the Northern Heavenly Master Sect, the Louguan Sect, the Qing Sect, the Lingbao Sect, the Ge Sect, and the Li Family Sect. During the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Yi Sect was also known as the Maoshan Sect after Tao Hongjing. 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. During the Song Dynasty, there was still the Taiyi Sect in the north, and in the south, there were the Shenxiao Sect, Qingwei Sect, the Primordial Origin Sect, the Donghua Sect, the Jingming Sect, and the Jindan Sect, the Southern Sect (also known as the Purple Sun Sect). In the Yuan Dynasty, the southern talisman sects gradually merged into the Zhengyi Sect, the Jindan Sect and the Southern Sect merged into the Quanzhen Sect. The Quanzhen Sect was divided into the Northern and Southern Sects, and the Northern Sect's Seven Truths formed seven divisions.

How influential is Taoism in the world?
Taoism has a certain influence in the world. There are about 32.18 million overseas Taoists (including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places), and there are Taoist activities in some countries. For example, Thailand was the country with the most active Taoism overseas, with nine Taoist altars and about 120,000 - 150,000 followers. There were also Taoist activities in Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. There were also many branches of Taoist associations overseas, such as Taoist groups in Spain, Russia, Canada, and Southeast Asia, which promoted Taoism through cultural activities and health education. There are also Taoist research journals overseas to promote international exchanges of Taoist research and promote its specialization and international development. At the same time, China Taoism also had many temples and Taoist temples abroad, such as Thailand's Tianshi Palace and Singapore's God of Wealth Temple, which showed the cultural exchange and influence of Taoism in Southeast Asia and North America. In addition, the concept of overseas immortal mountains was also an important element of Taoist culture and mythology. However, compared to global religions such as Buddhism, Christian and Muslim, Taoism's influence was relatively small.
