Classics: Taoism characterized by its belief in a certain record is collectively called Classics. San huang School (transmitting san huang Classics), Lingbao School (transmitting Lingbao Group Classics) and Shangqing School, which appeared in Jin Dynasty, were all recorded Taoism. Lu Xiujing in the Southern Dynasties summarized the three-hole classics and collectively referred to the three Taoist schools as the Classics School. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no overstepping boundary between the schools of Taoism, Sheng Xing, but there was a strict system of Taoist grade, and Taoist grade and Taoist title were distinguished according to the grade of teaching Taoist precepts. If you are a disciple of Zhengyi League Wei, you can be a disciple of Zhengyi League Wei. In each school, there are different orders. In the orthodox school, there are disciples, real people, wizards and other different orders. Since the orthodox school was again recorded by the Cave God and its classics, it was called Taishang Cave God Master. After making meritorious deeds in repairing the true scriptures of the cave, you will be moved to the records of the high metaphysics, and you will be promoted to the high metaphysics disciple and master of Taishang Zixu by the high metaphysics classics such as Tao Te Ching and Lao Zi Xi Sheng Jing. From Gao Xuanbu, he moved again and was recorded by the Xuanfa, calling Lingbao a disciple of Xuannei Sect. From the Xuansheng Department, he was promoted to the Xuandisciple of the Lingbao Cave in Taishang and the Xuanmage of the Supreme Cave. Then successively moved to the level of Master Dong Zhen, Master San Dong and Master Da Dong, reaching the highest rank. Classics and Fa Lu of the Classics School are lower than those of the Orthodox School and higher than those of the Shangqing School. After the Tang Dynasty, the then-elixir school rose, and the Dragon-Tiger Mountain Orthodox School Tianshi Taoism commanded the Sanshan Classics Taoism (Gezaoshan Lingbao School, Maoshan Shangqing School, and Longhushan Orthodox School). The Confucian Classics School of Taoism became a major sect separated from the then-alchemist school of Taoism.
Bigu School: Yi Xinying's Table of Taoist Divisions is also called Baohe Sect. The ancestors described Guiguzi and Zhang Liang, taking breathing, being convinced and taking a break from food as the method. It is said that the true spirit of this clan is tangible and endless, and life is endless. If you step forward rashly, you will suffer from tyranny, painful gangrene and strange diseases, and you will be embarrassed by yourself. In the early Taoist practice, Bigu was also used as a magic to develop human potential, which was easier to get qi and promoted physical changes.
Yi Xinying's Table of Taoist Divisions is called Changhuai Sect, and his ancestors are Shenshi and Zhongguang Zhenren, and his teachings are to hold his breath, look inside, be calm and have a fetal interest. It is not up to heaven, but up to me, to return to nature and realize the greatness of life and death. If you don't adjust the spirit and rush to the customs, you will be promoted to be indecent and heartless. Fetal rest is a mature fairy art in the immortal Taoism of Wei and Jin Dynasties, which is often used by monks to develop human potential and cultivate immortality.
Nangong Sect is based on Yi Xinying's Table of Taoist Divisions. Nangong Sect is also known as Lingtu, Fuyou and Tiangang. Its teachings include Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Six Rens, Qimen, Divine Charm, Secret Spell, Order, Yubu, Pseudomorphism, and Interpretation, which is actually the Fu-Fu Taoism that is good at magic, and it was the ancestor of Xuan Nv and Ghost-Qi area for nine days. There is another cloud: Nangong Sect, looking at the gas and knowing the square, avoiding the secret law of the world, pursuing good fortune and avoiding evil, eliminating evil with firm but gentle, or degenerating into hidden shadows in a false shape. If you let go, you will be embarrassed, enchanted, confused and confused, and will not be allowed to be in the world. The Sword Fairy School is also the Nangong School.
