What is the origin of the name of Buddha?

There are many Taoist and folk immortals in China. Due to the different geographical customs and cultures in their respective regions, Taoism and secular worship of gods are also different. However, it is difficult to sort out the specific names of the immortal pedigree. The pedigree of Taoist immortals in China was first determined in the Song Dynasty. Although the arrangement of each family is different, the first one that can be recognized is generally not "Sanqing", especially the recognition of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty as the highest god, which is recognized by most opinions. Today we will talk about the origin of the name Yuanshi Tianzun and some things related to him.

Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Yuan Shi as the name, Tian Zun as the position number. The so-called "respect for heaven" generally refers to "respect for heaven" to show that "respect for heaven" shows people's supreme respect for such great gods. Anyone who knows the stories told by some immortals knows that the name of "Tianzun" is actually Sanqing, that is, "Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Moral Tianzun". Sanqing, in different fairy tales, is a "founding level" immortal, with the rank of Tianzun, and actually has the same status as "Everything is born".

First of all, the name "Yuan Shi" should have appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Among them, The Record of True Immortals in yuanshi county can be regarded as the earlier source of the name "yuanshi county" and is called "King of yuanshi county". Not only that, in this book, there are some statements about the origin of the Yuan Dynasty. He thought that the Yuan Dynasty was Pangu, and because he was the essence of heaven and earth, he was called the "King of Yuan". The Bitmap of True Spirit written by Tao Hongjing in Nanliang has the original Buddha view, ranking first.

Judging from the position of the Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty, some Taoist classics in later generations are basically called this. As a mirror of immortals in past dynasties, he was named "the ancestor who presided over heaven". Regarding the image of the Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty, some statues described and shaped by folk Taoism are mainly people wearing divine light, wearing black robes and holding mixed beads; Or the right hand is empty (representing the unformed world) and the left hand is empty (indicating that chaos is about to open). His Dojo is recognized as "Jade Qing Realm of Kunlun Mountain", so it is also called "Jade Qing Zi, Xu Gao Miao, Tai Shang Huang Yuan Avenue Jun". His largest palace temple is in Fanya, Taishan Mountain, which was built in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, in the interpretation of the novel, the related expression about Yuanshi Tianzun is more wonderful, which systematically tells the story of Yuanshi Tianzun, his "teaching" and Twelve Jinxian. Most importantly, Jiang Ziya, his apprentice, used his decree to seal gods, thus determining the origin of folk secular gods, which are full of strange colors. However, after all, the deductive elements of the novel are relatively large, so there is not much interspersed here. We are talking about the first day of the New Year, which is said to be the birthday of the Buddha in the early Yuan Dynasty.
