Do You Believe There Is A Paradise?

Leave a comment , ,

When I was a kid, I liked to read mythological novels. I have read "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Gods" more than once. Later, there were various versions of TV series. It can be said that the contents are almost memorized. There are still differences between the TV series and the original novels. There will be some changes, whether myths or myths, they are all imagined by people. It is not like history and can be played in different ways.

Among the mythical worlds described in these descriptions, the one that makes me most curious is the Elysian World. The various versions of the Elysian World described are not exactly the same, but the general meaning is that they are all a very beautiful place. Legend has it that the Elysian World is: sunflower tree, sunflower bird , the golden sands pave the ground, and the Paradise is filled with dazzling light. People here can be called "gods" and can be reincarnated several times and live forever. It is a good place to be free and happy.

It is said that if a person wants to ascend to the Paradise, he must go through many centuries of practice before finally ascending to the Paradise.

It is said that the human soul can be immortal. It does not mean that people will reach the paradise after death, but it means that people will go through many centuries of reincarnation before they can finally reach the paradise. This is a bit like the levels in our Go, which are divided into levels. Only by rising to the top level one by one can you be regarded as a grandmaster-level figure in Go.

The same is true for the gods in the Paradise. They also went through centuries of reincarnation and started as humans, and then they could cultivate into gods step by step and achieve righteousness.

There are also rankings after cultivating immortality. After you have just become an immortal, you will be the last immortal in the world of immortals. The righteous god who assigns the position of immortal will first assign you a small position. The immortal will be in this small position. If you continue to practice step by step, and finally achieve positive results, you will become a great god-level figure among the gods.

The little gods will initially start as land gods and mountain gods. At this time, they can enjoy various benefits of the fairy world. These benefits are not the various materials that we humans imagine, but the enjoyment of things distributed by gods that can lead to longevity. For example, a fairy peach can lead to immortality. If you eat one, you can live for thousands of years. A god-level immortal can live for thousands of years. Enjoy it and you will live forever. Ordinary little gods will enjoy it once when they first enter the fairy world. Those who do not perform well may enjoy it once in the fairy world, and there may not be another time, so tens of thousands of years later, they will not After working together in the immortal world, they will return to the human world and suffer the hardships of the human world. Over and over again, they will start over in the human world again, practicing step by step, hoping to return to the immortal world and enjoy leisure. This is such a process.

The life in the fairy world is actually very beautiful. They can travel freely in the heavenly palace, just like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West". He can fly in the clouds and ride the mist to travel everywhere. And I heard that the gods will not be thirsty like people in the human world. Hungry is something that immortals cannot do. Once you have cultivated to the level of an immortal, you will neither be thirsty nor hungry. You will feel refreshed and full of energy. You will be in a very comfortable state, and you will not be plagued by any diseases or have any symptoms. Gods don't have the problem of eating, drinking and urinating. Their state is always dominated by endless energy and they are free and easy.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor, the originator of the immortal world, practiced cultivation for 1,750 kalpas, and each kalpa lasted 129,600 years. How many years did he have to have before he could enjoy this infinite path?

The legend of Taishang Laojun has also been practiced for hundreds of millions of years. Taishang Laojun is the supreme god of Taoism and is considered one of the founders of Taoism. In Taoism, Taishang Laojun is described as possessing infinite wisdom and magical powers, and has practiced Buddhism for countless years.

However, in different Taoist scriptures and belief systems, the number of years Taishang Laojun has practiced may vary. Some texts believe that Taishang Laojun has been practicing for hundreds of millions of years, while others believe that he has been practicing for tens of millions of years.

Eternal Garbage Game_Eternal Garbage Game_Eternal Garbage Game

It should be noted that these numbers are only symbolic and represent the depth and breadth of Taishang Laojun's practice, rather than the actual length of time. In Taoism, the focus of practice is not the length of time, but the purification and transcendence of the heart.

In different mythological stories, the descriptions of the paradise world are also different. Here are some common descriptions:

1. The Ultimate Bliss in Buddhism: In Buddhism, the Ultimate Bliss is the world created by Amitabha Buddha with infinite compassion and aspiration. It is a world without pain and only joy.

2. Heaven in Christianity: In Christianity, heaven is a place filled with the glory of God and is the eternal destination of the soul. There is no pain, disease, aging and death in heaven, only endless joy.

Eternal Garbage Game_Eternal Garbage Game_Eternal Garbage Game

3. Paradise in Islam: In Islam, paradise is a place full of joy and happiness, and is the eternal destination prepared by Allah for believers. There are beautiful gardens, cool fountains and all kinds of precious jewelry in heaven.

It should be noted that different mythological systems describe the paradise world differently, and these descriptions are usually based on religious beliefs and imagination.

In short, heaven, that is, the world of paradise, is beautiful. We can think of heaven, that is, the world of paradise, as a kind of imagination. With imagination, people will have a wish, hope that their wishes will be beautiful, their dreams will come true, they will live happily, and after reincarnation Glorious in the paradise world, eternal life, transcendental bliss!

Wash Away The Soul Polluted By Spicy Eye Dramas And Restore My True Colors As A Taoist God!

Leave a comment , , ,

The editor’s nonsense can be skimmed

I think everyone’s circle of friends these days has been flooded with the boycott of Marshal Tianpeng’s Havoc in Heaven, which is very disturbing. This online drama is classified as a comedy, but the actual content is vulgar. There may always be people who don't understand that vulgarity is not humorous. However, in the end, with the concerted efforts of Taoists, this film, which was not even screened, was finally offline!

It's really gratifying and very satisfying, but when I think about it carefully, I still feel panicked. Why? Because Taoism, as a native religion in China, is a part of traditional Chinese culture, but it is treated like this, which makes me feel very sad. As early as when the Taoist priests came down from the mountain to vilify the Taoist priests and smear Taoism, some Taoist people firmly resisted, but unfortunately the effect was very little.

But when it comes to Marshal Tianpeng causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, some people within Taoism still have a nonchalant attitude. They don't think there's anything wrong with being bullied to the point where they're being bullied. I don't know if it's because they're slow or ignorant. .

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi has repeatedly mentioned promoting traditional culture and improving cultural self-confidence, and has repeatedly cited the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching". However, some Taoists have not actively promoted traditional culture at all. The thought of eating and waiting to die makes one feel that Taoism is in decline.

Let’s get back to the topic, today we will learn about the true appearance of the immortals who were smeared by Marshal Tianpeng: Havoc in Heaven, and cleanse the souls polluted by this film.

What is God?

"Yi Guan": "Observe the divine way of the sky, and the four seasons are not abnormal. The sage teaches the divine way, and the world obeys." Taoism takes "Tao" as its highest belief. "Tao" is formless and formless, and it gives birth to all things in the world. The manifestation of "Tao" in people and all things is "De". Therefore, all things should respect Tao and value virtue. When the Tao disperses, it becomes Qi; when it gathers, it becomes Shen. Immortals are not only the incarnation of Tao, but also the model of attaining Tao.

Taishang Laojun——the ancestor of Taoism

When it comes to Taoism, you must know that it is Taishang Laojun and the founder of Sanqing. The founders of the Three Qing Dynasties are Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. So what is the relationship between Taishang Laojun and the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty?

Taishang Laojun

Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of vitality, the ancestor of all ways, the foundation of heaven and earth, the essence of heaven and earth. In Taiwu, the truth of nature is condensed into a body. It is vast and boundless. It can be unpredictable. It is neither yin nor yang. It can The subtle ability is manifest, neither ancient nor present, neither alive nor dead, always at the end of immeasurable calamities, before Taichu and Taiyi (the five innate Taiyi), and Taiji was born in the beginning of Xuanyuan (Three Qing Dynasties).

Taishang Laojun is the moral deity in the Three Purities, and the moral deity is incarnated as Laozi. Laozi is the author of the philosophical classic "Tao Te Ching" and is the founder of Taoist thought. The birthday of Taishang Laojun, the God of Morality, is the 15th day of the second lunar month. Taoism regards Taishang Laojun as its ancestor. Most Taoist temples will hold birthday parties or dojos to pray for blessings and longevity.

It can be seen that Taishang Laojun has a lofty status in Taoism. However, Taishang Laojun, who made a big fuss in Tianpeng Marshal, not only had an affair with Princess Iron Fan, but also secretly watched Chang'e take a bath, and conspired with Chang'e to kill the demon fairy and make elixir (the actual effect is aphrodisiac) etc. The scene is obscene and vulgar. It not only hurts the eyes, but even makes you want to curse people. This kind of plot and characters are simply malicious to smear Taoist gods and insult Taoism. It not only denigrates traditional culture and distorts facts, but also harms social morality and promotes obscene content.

Although Taoism is a low-key religion, it has always been tolerant and laughed off appropriate ridicule. However, some people go too far, insult Taoist beliefs, maliciously distort the image of gods, and seriously hurt Taoists. .

"Tai Shang Laojun Speaks of Chang Qingjing Sutra" mainly uses the word "qingjing" to concisely describe the basic principles of Taoist cultivation of mind and nature, but there are always people who want to disturb our "cultivation of immortality".

Taishang Laojun Baogao

The gift of sincere devotion. Establish teachings according to directions and save people through calamities. He became the emperor's teacher, the emperor's teacher, and the king's teacher. He changed his name and changed his name. The way of establishing heaven, the way of earth, and the way of man are the ways of concealing the sage and revealing the ordinary. There are a total of 1,200 officials. It contains tens of billions of Brahma Qi. It has been transformed into the present and ancient times, and has five thousand words of morality. Master the yin and yang, and order the thunder to count with nine and five. Great Compassion and Great Wish, Great Sage and Great Merciment, Supreme Laojun, Moral God.

The Jade Emperor – the Emperor of Ten Thousand Heavens

The second thing to mention is that the deity is the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor who causes havoc in the Heavenly Palace in Marshal Tianpeng is simply the BOSS of the dark officialdom. In the film, Taishang Laojun and the Jade Emperor work together, and the Jade Emperor even wants to take a bath with Chang'e. It can be said that he is playing with power and being greedy. , there is no trace of the righteous and impartial qualities of the gods.

Jade Emperor

The Jade Emperor is the Haotian God. His full name is the Supreme Kaitian, the Holding Talisman, the Royal Calendar, the True Body Dao, the Golden Tower, the Cloud Palace, the Nine Domes, the Liyu Wandao, the Inaction, the Great Tongming Palace, the Haotian Golden Tower, the Supreme Jade Emperor, the Supreme God who forgives sins, the Great Heaven, the Xuanqiong High God.

The Jade Emperor resides in the Haotian Golden Tower Miluo Heavenly Palace, with wonderful and majestic appearances, supreme Dharma body, ruling all heavens, leading all saints, dominating the universe, enlightening all heavens; walking the way of heaven, spreading virtues in heaven, creating all things, and saving lives. He is the supreme god of the heavens and the emperor of all heavens.

It has a great influence on the Chinese people, and the rituals of worshiping the Jade Emperor often exceed the specifications of the Three Qing Dynasties. Every year on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, various palaces and temples will hold "receiving the Jade Emperor", and there will also be various sacrificial activities among the people, because on this day the Jade Emperor will personally carry the Jade Emperor and inspect the situation of all parties. If the gods are at fault, they will be banished to their positions; if the earth is at fault, they will be demoted; if the immortals and Buddhas are at fault, they will fall into the dust; if the sneaks are at fault, their traces will be destroyed; if the king is at fault, his country will be lost; if the ministers are at fault, they will be punished. If an official makes a mistake, his reputation will be diminished; if a commoner makes a mistake, his blessing will be robbed.

Jade Emperor Baogao

The gift of sincere devotion. Taishang Miluo is the supreme heaven, wonderful and mysterious. The Miao Zijin Palace, the Taiwei Yuqing Palace. The infinite and supreme saint, shining brightly. There is no sect in the vastness of silence, and Xuanfan is in charge of the ten directions. The true eternal way of Zhanji, the great magical power of Huiming Desert. The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the High God of Xuanqiong.

Marshal Tianpeng – one of the Four Holy Lords

The third thing to mention is Marshal Tianpeng, the protagonist of "Havoc in Heaven". Although Baidu Encyclopedia said that it wants to create local super heroes, it is not only because the image of Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and the public does not accept this setting, but also because Marshal Tianpeng in the play does not reflect the feeling of a hero at all.

Marshal Tianpeng

Speaking of Marshal Tianpeng, everyone will think of Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West. In fact, Marshal Tianpeng is one of the four Taoist protectors of the North Pole in Taoism. He was originally one of the Big Dipper stars and was revered as the star god. Later, he became a subordinate of Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole and the divine general in charge of Beidou and Fengdu.

The Four Holy Sovereigns, also known as the Four Holy Sovereigns of the North Pole, are the collective names of Marshal Tianpeng, Deputy Marshal Tianyou, General Zhenwu and General Heisha. The Four Holy Lords are the Grand Marshal of Tianpeng, the Deputy Marshal of Tianyou, the Saint of Yi who protects virtue and Chuqing, and the Saint of Zhenwu Ling Yingyou. Later, he was often called the God of the Four Directions, namely the God of Tianpeng Cangtian, the God of Tianyou Dantian, the God of Yisheng Haotian, and the God of Blessing Saint Xuantian.

"Tai Shang North Pole Conquers Demons and Kills Demons with Curse" describes the image of Marshal Tianpeng as follows: "Three heads and six arms, holding an axe, bow and arrow, sword, dagger, halberd and rope. He is fifty feet long, wearing black clothes, a black crown and gold armor. Leading 360,000 divine soldiers." It can be seen that Marshal Tianpeng has a powerful and brave image.

The canopy was first recorded in a Taoist book in Volume 2 of the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", but it has evolved into the body and spirit of Taoism. The article says: "The second thought is that the red air enters from the Zhao Ni Pill, and the Zhao is a divine cloud that is breathed into the mouth, swallowed three times, and formed into three gods. One god is lying like a general with a canopy, and two gods are waiting to stand." It is also accompanied by a deposit. Situ, the canopy general holds his hands on his chest and wears golden armor. His image is kind and approachable, and he is the incarnation of Niwanjun in the human brain.

Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty's "Zhengao" contains a ten-year canopy curse. It is said that this curse belongs to the Northern Emperor's great method of evil spirits. It contains the names of ghosts and gods in the Six Palaces of Fengdu. "Three ghosts who are cursed by this curse will have their eyes die and their bodies will die." God's curse is the name of the priest who kills ghosts. The Northern Emperor secretly knows his way. If people in the world can find this method and can practice it, it will be the way to immortality. Men and women, big and small, can do it. This so-called divine curse of the Northern Emperor can kill ghosts. Good method. If three ghosts are caught by this method, they will all die." During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "Tianpeng Divine Mantra" was once popular among Chinese people, who believed that reciting this mantra could protect themselves and pray for blessings.

Taoism has a history of more than 1,800 years and has witnessed China's development and China's growing strength. However, in such an open era, this tolerant and indisputable religion has been despised and discredited. People who don't understand always think that Taoism is equal to superstition, that Taoism is too high-minded and not close to the people, but in fact Taoism is just non-controversial and extremely tolerant.

Most of the immortals in Taoism are mortals who have restrained themselves and guarded their hearts, and they have attained the Tao through hard practice. Whether they are the Eight Immortals, Taoist Cihang, or Mazu, they are all immortals who save the world from suffering and are close to the people. How can they have too high a Taoist attitude? And you think that Taoism is too far away from your life, but it is because the number of Taoists is small, and everyone is not at the same work and rest point, so naturally there are very few opportunities to meet Taoist priests. However, on Weibo, you can also follow Taoist priests who are good-looking, elegant, interesting and talented. In addition, I hope that Taoists can be culturally confident, actively promote traditional culture, and carry forward Taoism!

Will There Be Any Backlash If There Is Any Agreement? Why?

Leave a comment , , , ,

1. What is harmony?

Hehefu is a traditional Taoist item, also known as "Peach Talisman" and "Peach Talisman Spell". It is a charm made of peach wood, whole grains, white paper, etc., with the words mantra, spiritual treasure, godhead, etc. printed on it. It is said that as long as couples wear this charm, they can get pregnant as soon as possible, improve their relationship, and strengthen their relationship. Moreover, Hehefu also has the function of exorcising ghosts and ensuring peace, so it is also used by many people to pray for peace and good fortune.

2. Will there be any backlash if the agreement is consistent?

Some people think that harmony is not a panacea, and if used improperly, it may cause backlash. So, what exactly causes the backlash?

In fact, Heheli is not suitable for everyone. If one of the spouses has excessive yin energy or a disharmony between yin and yang, the use of harmonies may cause backlash. For example, if there is insufficient yang energy in a man's body and too much yin energy in a woman's body, if the two of them use the harmonious formula on their own, it may cause irregular menstruation in women and impotence in men.

3. Please follow the precautions

When using Hehehe, it should be used under the guidance of an experienced Taoist priest or a person with Taoist knowledge, because different Hehehe has different effects and usage methods. Moreover, the use and corresponding time also need to be used at the appropriate time and place, and avoid use at some ominous moments, such as when someone in the family is sick.

In addition, Hehe is only an auxiliary means. How to deal with couples' emotional problems requires fundamentally finding the cause in order to solve the problem. The way husband and wife get along, the way they communicate, the foundation of love, and personality differences will all affect the quality of the relationship between husband and wife, and these problems cannot be solved by harmony.

In short, will there be any backlash as to whether there will be backlash if Hehehe is used? Couples seeking Hehehe does not necessarily mean there will be backlash, but they also need to pay attention to the time, place and method of using Hehehe, as well as understand their own and their spouse’s physiques and needs. Harmony is only an auxiliary means. The key to how to deal with marital relationship problems is to find the fundamental reasons.

Origin Of Gods

Leave a comment , , , ,

Taoism is a religion that believes in many gods, with thousands of gods believed in. For such a large group of gods, if there is no order constraint, it will become very chaotic, which is not conducive to the development of religion. Therefore, the emergence of the immortal lineage that can establish order is of great significance.

1. What is a fairy?

The description of the Taoist gods in "The Interpretation of the Scriptures in Three Days": "Laozi is responsible for life and transformation, and Sakyamuni is responsible for death." Here, life and transformation refers to immortality, so immortality is the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism.

The definition of immortals first appeared in "Book of Han·Yiwenzhi" written by Ban Gu: "Immortals protect the truth of life and seek outsiders. To calm the mind and calm the mind, we are in the same realm of life and death. And always keep it in mind." It can be seen from the earliest definition that immortals have the characteristics of immortality.

In primitive religions, myths and legends, and early Taoism, the "god" and "immortal" in the word "god" are two different concepts.

"God" in many classics is a supernatural and mysterious being with magical powers. It has no material body or image and is not subject to the laws of nature. It has an influence on everything in the world, and can even create everything. For example, in "Yi Zhuan": "The unpredictability of yin and yang is called God", "God is extremely changeable, and all wonderful things are expressed in words", "Only God is quick and unstoppable, and arrives without progress." And in "Shuowen Jiezi" it is written: "God is the one who leads all things."

Lightning is a god in the ancient descriptions

This shows that gods have extremely high status and great magical powers, and that gods exist innately and are not created through cultivation.

"Immortals" are created by human cultivation.

It is said in "Shi Ming·Shi Chang You" that "the old but not dead are called immortals. Immortals move to the mountains, so the people who make the characters are close to the mountains." From the above text, we can see that if you want to become an immortal, you must go into seclusion. Only by practicing deep in the mountains for a long time can you become immortal without dying. This is why people who seek immortality always go to remote mountains that are inaccessible.

Ge Hong described the image of "immortal" in "The Legend of Immortals: Peng Zu": "Immortals may enter the clouds and fly without wings; they may ride on clouds on dragons and climb up to the heavenly steps; or they may turn into birds. Beasts float in the blue clouds; some sneak in rivers and seas, soar over famous mountains; some feed on vitality, or grow on grass; some go in and out of the human world without being recognized by others; some hide themselves without being seen." Here it is more emphasized that in addition to immortality, immortals also Has supernatural transformation.

Fairy descends to earth

The main difference between gods and immortals is that gods are created innately, while immortals are achieved through cultivation.

2. Types of Gods and Immortals

God refers to an innate deity.

1. God: God is the god of heaven and lives in the heaven.

2. Di Di: Di ​​Di is the god of the earth. All the gods of Sheji, the Five Mountains, mountains, forests, rivers and seas belong to Di Di.

3. Objects and Spirits: Heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, exotic flowers and plants, and other natural objects, all of which are rare and strange, have divinity.

4. The gods of the underworld: the gods in charge of ghost affairs in the underworld.

5. God of the human body: There are three parts, eight classics and twenty-four truths in the human body, each of which is protected by a god.

6. God of humans and ghosts: Become a god after death.

Types of Gods Diagram

Since immortals are cultivated by humans, there are fewer types.

1. Heavenly Immortal: Because of good cultivation, superior immortals can directly physically ascend to immortality;

2. Earth Immortals: Medium immortals cannot ascend to heaven and can only stay on the ground, but they also become immortals directly in their physical bodies;

3. Corpse-dissolving immortal: The body of a lower-level immortal cannot directly become an immortal in front of the public. It needs to feign death and then transform into an immortal;

4. Ghost Immortal: A new level added later, after the body dies, the soul becomes a ghost, and finally becomes an immortal. It is difficult to distinguish between ghosts and immortals and humans, ghosts and gods.

Later, gods and immortals were mixed together, and the immortals were classified and sorted using the hierarchy of the feudal court in the human world. In "A Brief Introduction to the Great Precepts of the Three Altar Perfect Immortals", the nine levels of immortals are: Hunyuan Wushi Golden Immortal, Dongyuan Taichu Golden Immortal, Lingyuan Good Fortune Golden Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Earth Immortal, Narcissus, Divine Immortal, Human Immortal , ghost fairy.

Since the immortals were arranged with reference to the feudal bureaucracy system, the theory of immortal officials began to emerge. There are three palaces in different immortal realms: left, middle, and right. In the palace, there are the immortal king, the immortal prince, and the immortal prince. Immortal Bo, Immortal Doctor. There are also waiters and retinues. Immortals who do not have any position, are not waiters or followers, are called loose immortals (the Eight Immortals are typical representatives).

3. The origin of gods

Taoism originated from Chinese culture, and the many gods it believes in can be traced back to their origins in the culture. To sum up, Taoist immortals come from primitive worship, early myths and legends and immortal thoughts.

1.Primitive worship

Primitive worship includes nature worship and ghost worship.

Nature worship mainly refers to the worship of the sun, moon and stars, the worship of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the worship of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, the worship of animals and plants, the worship of fire and the worship of the country. Mainly due to the ancestors' incomprehension of the powerful natural forces, the vagaries of nature, and their expectation for a good harvest, the gods gradually emerged.

One sentence sums up nature worship: everything you look at is God.

Ghost worship includes ancestor worship and underworld worship. For example, the Yellow Emperor was the great leader of the clan society. The sacrifices to the leader were absorbed by Taoism, and the Yellow Emperor turned into a god. The concept of the underworld was transformed by Taoism and became part of Taoist beliefs, and was equipped with a large number of gods.

Yellow Emperor

2. Early myths and legends

The belief in gods in my country has a long history and can be traced back to primitive society. For example, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" describes the elixir of death, the tree of immortality, and the miraculous medicine that brings the dead back to life.

Zhuangzi described "real people", "perfect people", and "gods". These are all people who have achieved Taoism and have various magical powers. Zhuangzi's description of gods can be regarded as the prototype of Taoist gods.

Mozi believed that Heaven was the supreme god with a certain role and the supreme authority of clear rewards and punishments. And expanded the scope of gods and ghosts.

Qu Yuan described the story of Chi Xianzi, Fu Shuo, Han Zhong and others who ascended to immortality in "Chu Ci·Yuanyou". "Historical Records" also records that the princes of the Warring States Period sent people to sea to seek elixirs.

Chenwei theology is similar to a side story, that is, adding new gods to the existing gods, such as equipping the sun, moon, stars, Beidou, Five Sacred Mountains, etc. with gods and corresponding appearances and costumes.

In the Qin Dynasty, first Emperor Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls out to sea to seek immortality. Later, the alchemist Lu Sheng deceived Qin Shihuang into asking for the elixir of death. After Qin Shihuang found out that he had been deceived, he retaliated against the alchemists, which was known as the Burning Book Pit. Confucianism.

In myths and legends, Kunlun myth and Penglai myth are two important myth systems. The fairy caves gradually developed from these two places, forming the mythical world of Taoism.

The formation of gods is due to the fear of death and the hope of immortality of the ancestors. Early humans were ignorant and weak and did not understand the vagaries of nature. So hope there is a will to govern nature. The powerful ancestors and the animals and plants that accompany humans have gradually become people's early beliefs. The former leads the group to be strong, and the latter nurtures the tribe.

After these gradually formed the system of immortals, due to the combination of the attitudes of each dynasty and the legends of the time (personally I think some of them are nonsense and fabricated stories), the genealogy of immortals was expanded, and some people ranked their seniority and wrote books and biographies. constitute the existing huge group of immortals.
