The founder of Taoism is Liu Deren. In the second year of Jin Tong (1 142), he claimed that an old man taught him mysterious Taoism, which was the basis of Taoism. The nine precepts of Liu Deren disciples are loyalty to the monarch and filial piety, sincerity to others, purity and innocence, willingness to be poor, diligent in eating and drinking, living within our means, not stealing, not drinking and not being arrogant. Many people believe that "preachers have visited China several times". After Liu Deren's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Reality, which was taught successively by the second ancestor Chen, the third ancestor Zhang Xinzhen and the fourth ancestor Mao Xiyuan. In the sixth year of Jin Aizong (1229), Taoism was once banned, and it has been hidden in folk communication for decades without leaving any records. After arriving in Yuan Xianzong, he passed it on to the fifth generation founder Li Xicheng, who won the favor of the rulers and renamed it "True Avenue". After the Yuan Dynasty, Zhendao gradually declined and disappeared, or merged into Quanzhen Road.
