Taiyi Sect, also known as Taiyi Daoism, was founded by Xiao Baozhen from Weizhou (now Jixian County, Henan Province) in the early years of Xizong (1 138 to140). The name of Taiyi religion comes from its worship of Taiyi God. His teachings spread the "Taiyi ternary method". The meaning of Taiyi is that the vitality is mixed, Tai Chi judges and clarifies, and it is also the god worshipped by Taoism since Qin and Han Dynasties. Sanyuan refers to heaven, earth and water. From the origin, Taiyi religion belongs to the same faction. Xiao Baozhen's "Taiyi ternary law" prayed for prohibition, treatment and exorcism, which met the needs of the people. Soon, it became famous for its "Fu Fa Fa", with many followers, and its influence spread to Shandong, Hebei and other places. Taiyi religion focuses on praying for water, but it also emphasizes internal training. It is based on the inner cultivation of meditation, supplemented by Fu Lu, and conforms to the characteristics of Shen Xiao and Wei Qing School. Taiyi religion abides by the Tao Te Ching, takes "weakness" as the main factor, is influenced by Confucianism, and attaches importance to general ethics such as loyalty and filial piety. Taiyi religion spread for 200 years, and it was still treated with courtesy by the rulers in the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu gave Taiyi the title of "Real Man in Taiyi Zhonghe Ren Jing" and gave Taiyi the title of "Real Man" to the first three generations of ancestors. Later, five ancestors Xiao, six ancestors Xiao Quan You and seven ancestors Xiao Tianyou were all named as real people by the Yuan Dynasty. After the Seventh Ancestor, the historical materials were lost and the circulation was unknown. Neither the ancestors nor the Taoist priests left any words.
