Taoism has so-called heavenly officials, local officials and water officials, which are collectively called the three officials. These three officials are the representatives sent to the world by the Jade Emperor. Every year, they inspect the good and evil on earth and report to heaven. The birthdays of the three officials are the fifteenth day of the first month, the fifteenth day of July and the fifteenth day of October, also known as Sanyuan.

And at the same time, "the living should cherish every day, not be ashamed of society and friends, and not be ashamed of their loved ones who have left forever." Because, one day we will meet them. At that time, you can proudly say that you are a hero on earth and a ghost hero in the underworld! "According to the cultural logic of Taoism, the time and space of a year should be divided into two parts: upper and lower yin and yang. Moreover, Taoism in China believes that the three basic elements that nourish everything in the world are heaven, earth and water. Therefore, Taoism regards the first half of the year as a celestial official and the second half as a local official. What needs to be explained here is that the "official" mentioned here does not refer to the "official" of human officials, but refers to the fragments in the process of time and space flow, similar to the "official" in China Weiqi game. Taoism in China is mainly produced in the developed areas of agricultural civilization in China. Therefore, Taoism in China has always believed that heaven and earth are mysterious, everything is born on the earth, water is the foundation of life, and the earth contains water. That is to say, because China's agricultural civilization pays attention to the important role of soil and water in human beings, China's Taoist cultural concept has always contained the "ontology", "epistemology" and "methodology" of observing the world with the earth as the center. According to the Taoist worldview, Taoism is used to calling the fifteenth day of the first month of the year "Tianguan" (the first half of the year) and "Shangyuan Festival"; In the second half of the year, July 15th, the local official festival, was called "Mid-Autumn Festival". ......& gt& gt
