What are Taoist spells and Daoism?

Taoism is a native religion in China. Compared with other religions, the most obvious feature of Taoism is its emphasis on practice. The ultimate goal of Taoist cultivation is immortality. Therefore, Taoist priests constantly seek ways to live forever. It was the constant attempts of Taoist priests in past dynasties that promoted the development of ancient science and technology in China. Taoist priests invented many Taoist spells in practice. These magical forces of Taoism and Taoism have objectively promoted the development of society. So, what specific Daoism do Taoist priests have? "Daoism" should be viewed separately in Taoism. Tao is Tao, and art is art, "Yun Qi's Four Musts" says, "Tao is nothing but reason; Performers are also mysterious geisha of change. Tao is invisible because art helps people. " Avenue is invisible, and art is a means for Taoism to help the world and the people. As the spirit of all things, human beings can acquire Tao by practicing Taoism. According to the records in Yun Qi's Seven Musts, the techniques are mainly fu, qi and medicine. Fuyong has always been one of the main spells mastered by Taoist priests. Wudou Mi Dao, one of the earliest Taoists, used water to cure diseases. It is said that the effect is very good, so many people join the Wudou Rice Road. Five Mi Dou Daoism, that is, one knife, has always been the mainstream sect of Taoism in China. Later, the magical power of Daoism developed continuously, forming the Sanshan Fuyou School with Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain and Gezao Mountain as the core. After the development of ofuda magic, all shapes of ofuda were developed. Some of the most powerful symbols, such as six Ding and six Jia symbols, are said to be more powerful than atomic bombs against millions of enemies. The lowest symbol may be unimaginable to ordinary people. There is a symbol called "undress and unlock symbol", from which it is not difficult to guess the usage. In addition to certain ritual procedures, it is more important to integrate the spirit into the painting. The symbol of no courage is just a piece of waste paper. If you find a powerful symbol, don't think it must be a treasure, it depends on the technical level of the person who painted it. "Qi" is a mysterious concept in Taoism. It is because of "Qi" that immortals will change. The changers are just different combinations of qi. Just like the discovery of contemporary science, carbon atoms are the same, and different combinations form the difference between diamond and graphite. There is a saying in Taoism that "a scattered shape is qi, and a gathered shape is too old gentleman". Change is just the reorganization of qi. Wu Yun, a Taoist of Maoshan School in the Tang Dynasty, put forward the idea that immortals can learn. It is precisely because immortals and mortals are transformed from "Qi" that ordinary people can cultivate into immortals. After the Song Dynasty, Taoist priests mastered a brilliant Daoism-Leifa. The thunder method can be realized by symbols, that is, drawing and making thunder symbols. More is to use "qi". Leifa is a kind of qigong, which causes the noise of the air receiver when working, just like thunder. Five-thunder method, divine thunder method, etc. , that is, spread to the gods, should be just a clever martial arts. Another important Taoism is medicine. Ancient witch doctors are one of the most important sources of Taoism and Chinese medicine. In ancient times, there was a great witch doctor named Wu Peng. Taoism has "three corpses", also known as "three Peng", that is, the upper corpse Peng Shu, the middle corpse Peng Zhi and the lower corpse Jiao Peng. You can clearly see the inheritance relationship. Ancient Taoist priests knew some medical skills, one was to save lives and attract believers; Second, Taoist practitioners in the mountains need to know some pharmacology to save themselves. Ge Hong, Tao Hongjing and Sun Simiao are outstanding representatives of Taoist doctors. A more important aspect of Taoist medicine is alchemy. Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, got the secret recipe of alchemy "Huangdi Jiuding Single Crystal" in Songshan Stone Room, and then burned the elixir in Longhu Mountain. However, in order to help the world and people, they did not bring food immediately, but went west to Sichuan, creating the Stone Road. Since the establishment of Taoism, alchemy has been a major practice of Taoist priests. It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that Taoist priests discovered that it was too risky to refine external alchemy and began to study the cultivation of internal alchemy. The elixir "Waidan" gradually became a masterpiece. Not everyone is willing to eat the fairy medicine in Taoism. There is a story in a serial about a lecherous scholar whose heart was dug by a female ghost. The scholar's wife, under the guidance of a Taoist priest, went to the market and asked a well-connected sloppy beggar for help. The beggar insulted the woman in every way, and finally spat into her mouth, but still refused to save her husband. The woman came back disappointed and stayed with her dead husband. She couldn't help crying. Thick phlegm flowed down the woman's mouth and into her husband's heart, which became a new heart. This "thick phlegm" is the fairy medicine. Don't think this is just a novelist's statement. In fact, Pu Songling is well founded. In order to test the determination of monks to seek Taoism, immortals often use extreme methods to assess the target object. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shi Tian Kou Qianzhi worshipped the immortal Cheng Gongxing as a teacher, and Cheng Gongxing set up various examination levels for him, and Kou Qianzhi passed smoothly. Finally, Cheng Gongxing made him take the "fairy medicine" to make him live forever. Kou looks sick. Where is the fairy medicine? It's all shit! In the end, I didn't dare to take Kou. Cheng Gongxing said regretfully: "It seems that your immortal life has not yet had time to become immortal, so you can only be a celestial teacher on earth for the time being. Later, Kou Qianzhi became the commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led the reform of Shitiandao and founded Beishitiandao. " "Seven Signs of Cloud" says that the symbol is the images and words of the aura of the sun, the moon and the stars; Qi is the spirit of yin and yang and all things; Medicine is the essence of five elements, the essence of heaven and earth. Everyone can gain Taoism by practicing Taoism. The magical power of Taoism is an important means to help the world and the people. To fully understand Taoism, we should all learn more about it.
