The meaning and symbol of the Taoist Sanqing
In the Daoist system, the Three Pure Ones had a profound meaning and symbol. Heavenly Lord Yuqing, the ruler of the universe, symbolized the beginning of the universe chaos, Yin and Yang had not yet been determined, the "Primordial Chaos" period. Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was regarded as the symbol of the beginning of all things in the universe. He was the supreme power that existed in the initial chaotic state of the universe. His existence implied the beginning of the root of all things. He was the representative of the most initial state that was divided before everything. Lingbao Tianzun of the Shang Qing Dynasty ruled the Hongyuan period, which symbolized the beginning of chaos and the separation of Yin and Yang. Primogenitor Lingbao symbolized the transition from chaos to initial division. At this time, Yin and Yang began to be distinct, representing the beginning of the universe from the initial chaotic state to the initial establishment of order. It was an important stage in the evolution of the universe. The Taiqing Heavenly Lord Dao De ruled the "Taichu" period, which symbolized the formation of heaven and earth. There were also rumors that the Taishang Laojun experienced tribulations and transformed into Laozi, passing on the mantra of Dao De. The Lord of Dao and Virtue symbolized an orderly state after the formation of heaven and earth. Since Laozi was regarded as his incarnation and passed down the Tao Te Ching, he also symbolized the source of the spiritual norms and norms of human society, such as morality and wisdom. On the basis of the preliminary formation of the order of the universe, he began to have a symbolic meaning of guiding power for human society. In short, the Three Pure Ones reflected Taoism's understanding and interpretation of the complete evolution process of the universe from nothingness to existence, from chaos to order, and from nature to human society from different stages. It was a manifestation of Taoism's ideology in deification.
