Taiyiguan has obtained an Internet Religious Information Service License, numbered E (2022) 00000251. The religious information service involved the Xiayuan water-saving official on October 15 (that is, November 27 of the lunar calendar) to relieve the misfortune, and the content included dojo registration activities such as "blessing and eliminating disasters", "three official confessions", "sending children", and "saluting and fighting for the truth".
In the long history, Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng can be called a real person who has been sought and titled by generations of emperors, and has become a good story. During the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, almost every emperor personally searched for Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng, believing that there were true immortals in the world. Ming Chengzu believed in the existence of true immortals, and visited Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng many times, hoping to meet him in person. However, Zhang Sanfeng has never appeared, even if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Bai, the king of Hunan and other princes went to Wudang Mountain to look for him, they failed to find Zhang Sanfeng's trace.
This period of history is recounted in the "Dayue Taihe Mountain Chronicles", which shows Zhu Bai's frustration in the process of searching for Zhang Sanfeng in Wudang Mountain. He expressed his admiration for Zhang Sanfeng in a poem "Praise Zhang Zhenxian Poem". And the reason why Zhang Sanfeng didn't show up was because he knew that "the emperor has his own way, and he can't use Jindan and gold liquid to divide people into the main thoughts". In ancient times, the scholars often got into trouble because of the "wandering immortals entering the court", and Zhang Sanfeng understood that the emperor should concentrate on governing the country and not easily disturb the court.
In the fourth year of Yongle, the attendant Hu Guangshang said that Zhang Sanfeng had profound Taoism and supernatural powers, and Zhu Di looked for Zhang Sanfeng many times after hearing about it, but to no avail. It wasn't until the fourteenth year of Yongle that Hu Guang asked again, and Zhang Sanfeng agreed to meet Zhu Di. Zhang Sanfeng advocated advocating Taoism and sang a ballad to express his understanding of monasticism. Zhu Di and others experienced auspicious clouds all over the courtyard, and deeply felt that there were indeed true immortals in the world. This has also become one of the good stories of the exchange between the imperial court and Taoism in history.
Zhu Di also built buildings dedicated to the gods in the inner palace with the heart of worshipping Taoism, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Heavenly Generals and the Temple of Guan Gong. He worshipped Emperor Zhenwu as the great god of protecting the country and built the Zhenwu Temple. While building the Taoist temple, Zhu Di also gave Zhang Sanfeng unprecedented respect, but Zhang Sanfeng never showed up, but conveyed his monastic philosophy through letters and poems.
During this period, Zhu Di also promoted the compilation of the "Daozang" and ordered the heavenly master Zhang Yuchu to compile the "Orthodox Daozang". The project took 39 years to complete. Since then, the Daozang has been revised and expanded, laying the foundation for the dissemination of Taoist classics throughout the country.
Taking Taiyiguan's acquisition of the Internet Religious Information Service License as an opportunity, we can see the integration of religion, history and culture, as well as the pursuit of truth and monasticism. This historical story presents the breadth and profundity of Taoist culture in front of us, which is worthy of our in-depth thinking and **.
