1, Immortalization is an intuitive embodiment of the basic belief of Taoism, and attaining immortality is the goal and ultimate destination of Taoist practice.

2. Therefore, Taoism has always attached great importance to the creation of immortals. With the development of the times and the need of communication, more and more gods are absorbed and constructed, some are eliminated, some are preserved, and finally a complex and huge system is formed. Studying and analyzing this immortal pedigree is an important aspect of understanding Taoism.

3. Taoism is a polytheism. The highest god is Sanqing Zun, which comes from Taoism, that is, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Moral Tianzun. Among them, the moral Buddha is the old gentleman. In addition, Taoism created a series of officials such as Tian and his emperor Jade Emperor according to the human order, and absorbed the concepts of Buddhist hell and the world in the sea.

4. As a subsidiary of the Heaven, it also created the series of immortal officials in Yamaraja Temple and Crystal Palace, together with local immortal series, such as the Four Valued Gods, Mountain Gods, City Gods, Land Gods, Kitchen Gods, etc. It also absorbed many western queens and Eight Immortals in ancient China myths as "scattered immortals" outside the Heaven Order.

Therefore, there are many immortals in Taoism, and all immortals created by local people and celebrities they worship, such as Mazu and Guandi, can be absorbed at any time. But generally speaking, temples only worship Sanqing God, and other gods can build their own temples.

In addition, Taoism believes that the human body is also a small world, so various organs on the human body, such as hair and facial features, are also stationed by gods. And there are corresponding practice methods. Taoism is actually attributed to Laozi's thought.
