2. History of Taoism in Xu Shui xushui county was called Suizhou, Longshan County and Ansufu in ancient times. 19 14 changed to xushui county. It has a long history and numerous cultural accumulations. The Yan Great Wall runs through the whole territory and is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Taoist activities have been going on for a long time! The Jiangnu Temple under the Great Wall of An Su Town in the north branch of the Waterfall is one of the earliest Jiangnu temples in China, which is hundreds of years earlier than the Jiangnu Temple in Shanhaiguan. Taoism flourished in xushui county, with 65,438+06 Taoist temples (religious records of Hebei Province) except those where Guandi, Huangcheng, Zhenwu, Tudi, Wenchang and Wang Long were worshipped by Taoist folk gods or officials, mainly in Ansu Town, Sui Town, Dawangdian Town, Gaolin Village and Yinda Town, among which Bi Xia Temple and Daiyu Temple were included. According to legend, the ancestor of mankind, Xuanyuan Huangdi, appeared before the prince, which was in Busan (Guodishan) in An Su (now xushui county). Stone "A trip to Busan": "Harmony is far away, and the stone spring is deep. Try the taste of indifference and see the heart of the ancient emperor. " Taoism originated from the Yellow Emperor and is regarded as the ancestor of Taoism, such as Huang Lao Dao. Famous celebrities in history include Liu Daoxiu and Ma.
Liu Daoxiu was a Taoist priest in Liao Dynasty. An Su (now xushui county, Hebei Province) was born. In his early years, he had the idea of becoming a monk. At the age of twenty-three, he entered Panxishan District and became a teacher. Tao Xiu is good at magic, and all the treatments for disasters are abnormal, especially for people who suddenly die. When he got home, he saw some villagers who died violently. Liu's wife died suddenly in another army in Sichuan. Liu Daoxiu gave Taoist symbols, and the deceased made a living. Living in Laiyang, every night, more than 20 thieves conspired to rob their homes. Daoxiu learned that they would follow the Tao, and the wind suddenly blew. The thieves lost their way and finally escaped, so their homes were saved. His practice of Taoism has helped the world and people, and so on. At the age of sixty, he died of illness. Horse, word, number Jingyuan. Ansu people in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. At first, he was a Confucian scholar, but later, when he was given a biography by a stranger, he realized and became enlightened. "The Official History of the Royal Guards" said: "Being kind and willing to take the lead. She doesn't want to hurt grass and plants. Talking to fellow villagers is only a virtue, not a long speech. The villagers respect it very much. "
Xushui county's famous Taoist temples include Dongyue Tianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple in Cui Di. According to the Chronicle of Dongyue the Great, the Taishan God Dongyue the Great is the grandson of the Emperor of Heaven. The house of ghosts and gods, the Lord is in charge of the number of human heights, eighteen hells, six cases of seventy-six divisions, and the right to shorten life and death. In the Tang Dynasty, Mount Tai was named King Tianqi; in the Song Dynasty, it was named Emperor Tianqiren; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was named Emperor Tianqi Dashou and Renren. Emperors of all ages have worshipped gods in Mount Tai. Bi Xia Yuan Jun, the goddess of Mount Tai, is also known as "Jade Girl of Mount Tai", and the full name is "Jade Girl of Mount Tai in Dongyue", commonly known as "Grandma of Mount Tai" and one of the gods worshipped by Taoism. According to Wang Ming zhigang's biography of the Jade Girl, "The Jade Girl on Mount Tai is a fairy. I saw it when the Yellow Emperor started, and I saw it when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started. " According to the Taoist scriptures, Bi Xia Yuan Jun "is in charge of Yuefu magic weapon, observing the good and evil in the world, repaying evil with good, and being quick-witted." Therefore, Dongyue Temple and Bi Xia Temple are famous all over the world, and they are called "Palace of Mount Tai". The Temple of Ansubixia by Feng Ming Weimin: "The board was built in the Song Dynasty, and the savage still explains Yang Lang. The country is thousands of miles away, and now it is blocked, and the peak is closed to the ancient battlefield. The purple plug is far from the virtual belt, and the white ditch is near the golden soup. Stegosaurus has no intention of going to Shannan. He should know that there was Jingkang that day. " Ansubixia Temple is very famous in Hebei.
Cui Di Dongyue Tianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple were built at the eastern end of the village. This village was built in the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1404), and its surname is Cui, a native of Xiaoxin Prefecture, Shanxi Province. There used to be a tucheng in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the village was built in the east of the city, and Yuetianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple were built in the east of the city. Zhang, a 96-year-old man living in Cuidicheng Village, said that the Zhang family believed in Dongyue the Great for generations. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jiazu moved to Cui Di from Dadong Zhang Cun, and his grandfather Zhang Luozeng and his father Zhang Wufu rebuilt Dongyue Tianqi Temple. He also led his followers to worship in Taishan Mountain, Shandong Province, and demanded that the icons of Dongyue Emperor and Bi Xia Yuan Jun be separated and dedicated to the Tianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple in Cuidi Dongyue, where incense is flourishing. Zhang Luozeng was the abbot, Zhang Five Blessingg was the second, Zhang Luojie was the third, Zhang Luohua was the fourth, Cui Shizhong was the fifth, Cui was the sixth, Cui Sanxi was the seventh, and so on. The original inscriptions on the Dongyue Tianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple in Cui Di recorded the process of rebuilding Dongyue Tianqi Temple and Bi Xia Temple when Liu Dazhao was the abbot in Qing Dynasty. After vicissitudes of life, years passed, and time passed, the splendid Dongyue Tianqi Temple became a thing of the past, leaving beautiful memories in people's hearts.
Since the reform and opening up, the party's policy of freedom of religious belief has been implemented. The ancient Taoism has revived. Cui Chunjiang, Cui Sanxi, Ren Hongshu and Jianbing Liu are followers of Dongyue Emperor and Bi Xia Yuan Jun in Cuidicheng Village. They came to Taishan Mountain in Dongyue in 2005 with reverence for Dongyue Emperor and Bi Xia Yuan Jun. He converted to Master Huo Huaixu, the executive director of Chinese Taoist Association, the vice president of Shandong Taoist Association and the abbot of Taishan Bi Xia Temple, and was the 23rd generation disciple of Quanzhen Longmen Jinshan School. And there are a large number of believers who agree. I hope to apply for the restoration of the Dojo of Cui Di Dongyue Tianqi Temple through legal channels. According to the document of the Central Committee (1982) 19 and the Regulations on Religious Affairs, combined with the reality of Taoism in xushui county, in order to fully protect citizens' freedom of religious belief and legal religious activities and satisfy the normal religious life of the majority of religious believers.

Origin of Taoism
Taoism has many origins and is closely related to many fields of China traditional culture.
Three basic sources
There are three basic sources of Taoism: worship of ghosts and gods, belief in Fang Xian and Taoism.
Wicca religion of ghosts and gods In ancient times, people regarded the sun, moon, stars, rivers, mountains and ancestors as gods and sacrificed, prayed and worshipped them. During the Yellow Emperor's period, there were activities of offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, including "closing Zen to tell heaven", "offering sacrifices to gods in the suburbs" and "connecting all spirits with the light". This long-standing worship of ghosts and gods, in the Zhou Dynasty, formed a system of gods, territories and ghosts, as well as the belief tradition of worshipping the ancestors of heaven. Taoism not only inherits this idea of worship of ghosts and gods, but also brings this system of gods into the system of immortals. Witchcraft belief closely related to the worship of ghosts and gods has a long history. The ancients believed that divination could confirm doubts and break good luck or bad luck. Witches can communicate with ghosts and gods and tell god's will; Witchcraft can pray for people and cure diseases. Ancient witchcraft was directly inherited by immortal alchemists in the Warring States period.
Belief in magic. During the Warring States period, fairy alchemists appeared in Yanqi in the north and Jingchu in the south, preaching immortality and forming a fairy home (also known as Fang Xiandao) where a hundred schools of thought contend. Fang preached the belief in immortals and regarded Huangdi and Laozi as immortals' models and ancestors. Put forward the idea of seeking fairyland fairy and fairy medicine, and practice the cultivation techniques such as offering sacrifices to gods in shrines, promoting qi and avoiding valleys, and guiding breathing; In particular, he advocated alchemy and regarded Dan medicine as a way to become immortal. The descriptions of fairyland in Jingchu area in Zhuangzi and Songs of the South have given great enlightenment and thinking to the immortal alchemists. The legends of Penglai, Yingzhou and the abbot at sea spread in Yanqi area, which drove emperors and alchemists to look for them. The belief and skills of Fang Xian were inherited by Taoism, and the alchemist gradually evolved into a Taoist.
4. Daojiao's history and historical celebrity Daojiao used to be called "Daojiao", also known as Jichuan, which means going to the place where rivers meet.
