What is the "one gasification and three cleanses" of Taoism in taoist sanqing?

One breath and three cleanses in novels

The phrase "one gasification and three cleanness" was first seen in the Romance of the Gods. That is to say, the leader of the younger brother listened to the slanderers of the master and set up a "Zhu Xian Array" in jiepai to resist. The eldest brother is too old to help the second brother, Yuan Zun, break the array. When Taishang Laojun confronted Tianshi, Taishang Laojun made three dharma bodies with one gasification.

The poem says:

It is even more strange to clean up three times at a time, and the trick in the pot must be repeated.

Move a tree to give birth to me and transport it to two places at once.

Killing scattered immortals is shallow and completely selfless.

You should know that the fate of an apprentice is determined by nature, and an apprentice is vain.

Sweeping people:

At the beginning of mixed yuan, it is always natural to judge the Tao first;

Purple gas came to Wan Li from the east, and irrigation began five thousand years ago.

Jade qing road flyover:

From the beginning of Xinguan to Kunlun, the door of Huayi was unified;

My body is the same as heaven and earth, and I must still exist. '

Taiqing Road:

Chaos is not a year, and the HarmonyOS system takes the lead;

Understand the mystery of heaven and earth, let me look around outside the door.

What is Taoism's "one gasification and three cleanses"?

To tell the truth, I saw this small series was a mess. It is said that the leader of Tian Tong, who played against Lao Tzu, was also one of the Sanqing. As soon as I was vaporized and cleaned up, that is to say, when I was fighting with my younger brother, I changed another younger brother, the original Buddha and myself in one breath, and then four people fought with my younger brother. At that time, I kept thinking: was the Sanqing created by Laozi a doppelganger or a god? Do they have independent personality (godhead) or self-awareness? Is it cloning or camouflage or illusion? Is it the same as the Monkey King's plucked little monkey? How much mana did they inherit from ontology?

Realistic Taoism's concept of "one gasification and three cleannesses"

After all, The Condor Heroes is a novel. In fact, there is a saying in Taoism that there is one gasification and three purity. However, there are different views on whether it is Laozi's gasification three divisions or Yuanshi Tianzun's gasification three divisions. At that time, there were three important Taoist forces in Jiangnan area. In addition to the Shi Tian Zheng School represented by Zhang Tianshi, there are Maoshan School and Lingbao School. Maoshan School is also called "Shangqing School". Tao Hongjing belongs to Maoshan series. The representatives of Lingbao School are Xu Xun and Ge Hong. The Shangqing school dedicated Lingbao from the early Yuan Dynasty, Lingbao school dedicated Lingbao, and Zhengyi school dedicated the old gentleman. Shangqing worships the early Yuan Dynasty, while Shi Tian worships Laozi. Therefore, it is the view of the Shangqing school to see the gasification and purity of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and of course it is the view of Shi Tiandao that Laozi is gasification and purity.

Sanqing refers to:

Yu Qing yuan Shi Tian Zun

It is produced by the green gasification of red mixed caves. Every time the doomsday ends and the world opens, they come out to teach secret passages and rob people.

Lingbao Tianzun

It was produced by the evil spirits of Huang Zhi, and it also led to the Dharma.

Taiqing moral Buddha

It was born of mystery and mysterious gasification.

The origin of Taoism's "one gasification and three cleanses"

Statement 1:

Tao Sanqing, the full name of moral god in Taiqing, is also referred to as "Tai Shang Lao Jun". He is the first supreme god worshipped by Taoism, or incarnated as Laozi. Later, due to the theory of "one gasification and three cleanses", it changed from one to three, and the old gentleman on the throne was three cleanses and three gods.

"Seven Stars Cloud" is also used to write about the emergence of Sanqing. "The original Daoism began in Zhao, from scratch, and the trace can be felt. It was divided into three elements, and then changed from three elements to three gases ... the first mixed hole space, the second mixed red space, and the third ghost was silent and mysterious. From the mixed point, there is no yuan to give birth to Tianbaojun, from the red mixed point, there is no yuan to give birth to Lingbaojun, and from the mysterious yuan to give birth to Shenbaojun. "

Since the three elements have become three qi and three gods, these three gods are naturally the embodiment of three qi. These three gods were actually called Sanqing gods in later generations. Therefore, there is a saying in later generations that "one stroke melts three nets", which shows that "pen" is the basic element to construct the highest Taoist God. Similarly, the immortals under the Supreme God are also composed of "shua".

Statement 2:

In Taoist collections, there was no such thing as nothingness or even a mysterious state of nothingness before the Buddha statue symbolized Heaven in Yuan Dynasty, that is, before the world of HarmonyOS system. It is the state of the tiny point before the universe was created and before it expanded.

Lingbao Buddha symbolizes the process of infinite Tai Chi, and Tai Chi becomes the five elements of Tao, which can be said to be the generation of Heaven. From then on, there were rules in heaven and earth, and all souls returned to their ancestors, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of the universe, so it was called Lingbao. It is the creation process of the universe.

The moral Buddha, Laozi, is regarded by Taoism as the ancestor of Taoism, responsible for educating all beings, and is the god of physical existence. Therefore, we all know that Laozi is the founder of Taoism, but we have not found the shadow of yuanshi county and Lingbao in the long history.

The ruler of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li, and Taoism respected Li Laojun as the ancestor of Taishang Laojun, so the Tang Dynasty worshipped Taoism and respected Lao Zi as the supreme god. Later, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor. In order to establish prestige, she carried Yuan and Lingbao out, and pressed the "entity" god with the virtual god. From this, the saying of "one gasification and three cleanings" evolved, and the original supreme god Laozi, because of his surname Li, had to rank third in the three cleanings.
