The main feature of the missionary form of Zhengyi religion is the practice of symbols, that is, chanting, exorcism, praying for disaster relief and worshiping ghosts and gods. In terms of precepts, zhengyi scholars can have families, not live in palaces, and not store hair. The palace is not as strict as Quanzhen religion.
The main classics of Quanzhen religion are Tao Te Ching, Prajna Heart Sutra and Filial Piety Sutra.
Zhengyi road, the main heart sutra is zhengyi road.
Wudoumi Road is also called Shitian Road and Zhengyi Road.
Taoism in Shi Tian was founded by Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, and he wrote Old Xiangzi Jules, which laid the foundation for the later development of Taoism. Later, after his grandson Zhang Lu reformed the cult and Cao Cao worshipped him as the general of Zhennan, Taoism began to spread to the north. The fourth generation of Zhang Daoling Sun moved the missionary area from Qingcheng Mountain to Longhu Mountain, and Taoism began to develop in the southeast of China.
Shitian Road was jointly created by Zhang Daoling, Zhang Heng and Zhang Lu. At that time, in Bashu area, the primitive Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft and worshipped the people on a large scale. And these dharma masters who worship ghosts and gods gather people to collect money and do evil. Zhang Tianshi took two apprentices, Wang Chang, Zhao Sheng and Huangdi Jiuding Single Crystal, to practice in Beimang Mountain. Then there was a large-scale religious conflict with the witch and ghost groups. This is the prototype of Zhang Tianshi's story of breaking the ghost soldiers with the sword of the old gentleman, which spread in Sichuan and Chongqing. However, the witch and ghost cult that was driven away was not willing to fail. Under the leadership of exorcist and Zhang Xiu, he converted to Shi Tiandao and founded Wudou Mi Dao.
According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty and the Ji of the Spirit Emperor, Zhang is a "Ba County Witch" and a "Ba County Witch".
With the establishment of Zheng He's Taoism, Taoism began to appear in the form of religion, which was different from previous witchcraft and took Taoism as the highest belief, laying the foundation for thousands of years of Taoist history.
