The Imperial Palace is a real person, ruled by the old gentleman Jin Que. Nine innocent emperors in Xiagong were ruled by three innocent kings. Although there are differences in the different interpretations of these different factions, they all contributed to the final stereotype of "respecting God in Sanqing". The Tang Dynasty's "The Sage of the Old Gentleman" said: "This is the original Buddha in the Jade Qing Dynasty, which is above thirty-five days." "This is the gentleman in the Upper Qing Dynasty, which is above thirty-four days." "Taiji Palace in the Upper Qing Dynasty is the old gentleman, which is above thirty-three days." Jin Yunzhong in the Southern Song Dynasty, after discussing and summarizing the relationships among the three Qing Dynasties, the Three Treasures and the Three Caves, thought: "The titles of the Three Statues are only called Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Tai Shang Dao Jun and Tai Shang Lao Jun; Its nicknames are Tianbaojun, Lingbaojun and Shenbaojun; In the name of the three realms, it is called Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing; Named after the book of three holes, it is called cave truth, cave mystery and cave god. " Among the "three-clear deities", the old gentleman in Taishang appeared the earliest. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Wudou Midao was established, Taishang Laojun was regarded as the supreme god. By the time Shangqing and Lingbao were dispatched in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the new supreme gods such as Yuanshi Tianwang, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Yuchen Avenue Jun and Taishang Avenue Jun appeared in the classics of Shangqing and Lingbao. In view of the emergence of many new gods in various schools, Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Spiritual Industry Map" attempts to systematize it, in which the prototype of "respecting gods in Sanqing" has been basically established. Before and after this, when the books talked about the worship of God in Sanqing, there were different opinions. For example, it is said, "Tao can't be without a teacher, and teaching can't be without a patriarch. Therefore, Lao Jun's teacher is on Yuchen Avenue, and Avenue Jun is also a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun." "It is said that the founder of the school, the Buddha, sent the Jade Emperor Daojun (Lingbao) Buddha, and performed the birth (moral) Buddha of the holy religion." "At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestor of Taoism was the founder of Lingbao, the ancestor of Daojun was the master of Dharma, and the ancestor of Laojun was the true teacher." If they appear in order, the first is "Laojun", the second is "Yuan Shi", and the last is "Daojun".
in addition, in the five dynasties, the Fujian lords enshrined the "Sanqing" as the treasure emperor, the Buddha and the old gentleman. In the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the deity stood at the top of the "Sanqing Zun Shen" and was in the middle of the "Sanqing Hall" in the palace. Its name was originally the King of the Yuan Dynasty. Jin Gehong's Book in the Pillow said: "The two instruments were not divided in the past, and HarmonyOS was not formed. The heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon were not formed, and the shape was like a chicken, chaotic and mysterious. Pangu was a real person, the essence of heaven and earth, and he was named the King of the Yuan Dynasty." Although there are two deities in Taoist books, but as Ning Quanzhen, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, the deity in the Yuan Dynasty "therefore, it is also called the heavenly king in the Yun Dynasty". "Seven Signs of Clouds", with a volume of 11, lists biographies of all deities, and also lists "Ji of the King of Heaven at the Beginning of the Yuan Dynasty" first, which shows that Song Dynasty has regarded him as a deity.
Tao Hongjing, a Liang in the Southern Dynasties, wrote a map of the true spiritual position, which is divided into seven god steps, with Yuanshi Tianzun listed as the middle of the first god step, and Sui Shu Jingji Zhi also said: "The Taoist scriptures say that there was Yuanshi Tianzun, who was born before Taiyuan, endowed with the natural spirit, rushed to the void and condensed far away, and did not know its extreme." The Taoist book holds that: "Jade Qing originated from Heaven, and the spirit of this mysterious one was condensed to the highest heaven, and there was an emperor who dominated, and Tao was before the emperor, so it was the beginning of Yuan." Du Guangting, a Taoist priest at the end of the Tang Dynasty, entered the "Three Realms Mixed Yuan Map" in the second year of Guangming (881), in which he stated that "the ancestor of the Heavenly Honored Man is the ultimate Tao, which is natural, and the elimination is qi, and the rest is shape, without exception, non-color, non-emptiness, non-end, non-beginning, and eternal. Living in the upper realm is the yuan of ten thousand days, living in the middle realm is the root of all things, living in the lower realm is the respect of all things, and it is nameless, with a strong name called Buddha. People in the world respect it as the sky, while those who admire it are lofty, and those who climb it have no order ...... all things are born without being the master, and all things are restrained without words, so it is called Buddha. "Seven Signs of Clouds" Volume 111 "Ji of the King of Heaven in the Yuan Dynasty" says: "The King of Heaven in the Yuan Dynasty endowed nature with a shadow, and the shape was not chaotic, and the baby was born empty. At that time, the mysterious scenery was not divided, the sky was far away, the vastness was too empty, and there were more than 7, robberies. The sky was clear and clear, and the second light was winding, and the mysterious cloud purple covered its head, and the electric wings of the six qi were true ... Entering the Golden Que, the title was Jade Qing, the purple was empty, and the Yuan emperor was too high on the road ... The Yuan throne was in Jade Qing, and the palm contained the truth of the emperor. " In short, from the Jin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty had gradually landed on the old gentleman of Taishang and became the first supreme god in Taoism.
Lingbao Tianzun ranks second in "Sanqing Zun Shen". In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Qing Qing and Lingbao appeared one after another as Taishang Yuchen Avenue Jun and Taishang Avenue Jun.. Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Spiritual Industry Map" ranks in the middle of the Er Shen order, and is named as "the king of the Jade Morning Xuanhuang Avenue" as the master of all things. The 111 volumes of Seven Signs of Yunqi are similar to those in Taishang Daojun Ji and Shangqing Gaosheng Taishang Yuchen Avenue Junji, but there are some differences.
according to a brief history of Lingbao, "Taishang Avenue gentleman was conceived in the western country of Luna Jade in the first year of emperor's reign, and was pregnant in the home of Hong's family for 3,7 years. He was born on the side of Yue Danxuan, a floating mountain in Yucha, his name is Kai Yuan, and his length is enlightenment and truth. He sat under the withered mulberry and meditated for a hundred days. However, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Buddha has fallen, and ten wonderful classics of the Mahayana method of Lingbao have been given to Daojun. ..... At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, I traveled with Daojun in ten directions, announced the fate of the law, and then entrusted Daojun with the law, and then gave him the title of the Lord. Daojun is the widely publicized classics, which will be passed down to the world. " According to "Cave Deep Collection", "Yu Chen's Taoist is the embodiment of the road. To say that there is something you can't meet with is to say that there is nothing but a trance, so there is nothing, not without it, seeing it as nothing, listening to it silently, and there is something between the wonderful and the wonderful. Tao jun is the foundation of judging Tao, the element of hole Tao, and the qi of Tao, that is, the teacher is the original Buddha, which is called the disciple of Tao Yan. I am still a teacher from the old gentleman! Live in the middle of the halal land, drop the golden treasures and the three-hole fairy scriptures, pay the teacher Yu Luoqiao as a real person, and preach in the world! " The newly created Taishang Daojun of Shangqing and Lingbao School still takes "Tao" as its root, which embodies the idea that Taoism takes "Tao" as its highest belief. The later Lingbao Tianzun was derived from Taishang Avenue.
