Taoism is an inherent religion in China with a history of 1800 years. It is closely linked with the local culture of China, deeply rooted in the fertile soil of China, and has distinctive China characteristics, which has a far-reaching impact on all levels of China culture.

Taoism, which originated in China, has a long history and is a polytheistic religion. It has a distinct religious form, and its main purpose is to pursue enlightenment, help others and be boundless.

Taoism (including Taoism, warlocks, etc. ) is regarded as the dominant theory together with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and seeks the way of cultivating immortals through practice.

The formation of Taoism was a slow development process in the early Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. As two landmark events in the final formation of Taoism:

One is the spread of Taiping Jing, and the other is Zhang Daoling's Five Mi Dou Knives (Shi Tian Knives).

During the reign of Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty (126- 144), Taiping Jing (that is, Taiping Jing, which is believed to be from Baoyuan Taiping Jing compiled by Gan Zhongke, a Qi man) was widely circulated. When he arrived at Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao preached in Taiping Qing Dynasty, nicknamed Taipingdao, calling himself Teacher Dade, and his followers were all over Kyushu, which was already quite influential.

Later, the Yellow turban insurrectionary failed, and Taiping Road gradually declined. Also in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Shun Di was in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling learned Taoism in Hemingshan, Shu County, recruiting disciples to preach, and believers made five meters, so it was called the Five-door Rice Road (some studies also said that it was called the Five-door Rice Road because of its belief in five stars such as Beidou Nandou and its combination with esoteric Buddhism in Shu). Zhang Lu, the son of Zhang Heng and the grandson of Zhang Heng, fought in Hanzhong for many years, and then cooperated with the highest ruling authorities to spread the influence of Wudou Mi Dao from the southwest corner to the sea, and then developed into an authentic Taoist stone heaven.

During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the prevalence of alchemy and the deepening of related theories, Taoism gained great development. At the same time, Taoism also absorbed the popular metaphysics at that time and enriched its own theory. In the first year of Jianwu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong systematically expounded the theory of immortals since the Warring States Period and wrote Bao Puzi, which was the first systematization of Taoist theory and enriched the ideological content of Taoism. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the support of Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou established the "North" Road and Lu established the "South" Road. In the prosperous period of Tang and Song Dynasties, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan recognized Laozi Li Er as his ancestor, Song Zhenzong and Song Huizong also believed in Taoism, and Song Huizong even called himself "Emperor Daojun", so Taoism was highly respected and became the state religion. At this time, Maoshan, Gezhi and other factions appeared, and Shi Tiandao also re-emerged. Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, the Dante School of Taoism has been hidden. Under the vigorous advocacy of Han Zhongli, Lv Dongbin and others, Inner alchemy began to appear in the world. In theory, Chen Tuan and Zhang Boduan's "Inner Dan Theory" is very popular.

At this stage, Taoism not only developed in China, but also spread to other parts of Asia through migration and cultural exchange. For example, at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after Wudou Midao failed to launch an uprising in the south of China, Lu Xun led his troops to Vietnam (Jiaozhou). Vietnamese Li Tuo helped Lu Xun attack Jiaozhou Fucheng and committed suicide after failure. This is the earliest record of Taoism being introduced into Vietnam.

In Taoism in the Song Dynasty, the lineage of Shi Tian in Longhushan, Xinzhou was sealed, which began in the ninth year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (10 16). According to "History of Song Dynasty", in the eighth year of Tiansheng (1030), Mr. Jia Yinci, alias Zhang Qian, was born in Longhushan, Xinzhou. When he arrived in Song Huizong, although he cherished Taoist Lin Lingsu, he only gave the Shi Tian family a general gift.

Quanzhen religion appeared in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Taoism appeared in the late Song and early Yuan Dynasties, and Quanzhen religion initiated by Wang Zhongyang appeared in the north. Later, Wang Zhongyang's disciple Qiu Chuji preached for Genghis Khan in Mongolia, hoping that he would not kill innocent people. He was trusted by Genghis Khan and was granted the power to take charge of Taoism in the world by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, in order to cope with the rapid rise of Quanzhen religion, the original Shi Tian Taoism in Longhushan, the Shangqing School in Maoshan and the Lingbao School in Gezaoshan were merged into one, and Zhang Tianshi was respected as the founder, thus formally forming the pattern of two major Taoist schools, namely Quanzhen School in the North and Zhengyi School in the South.

Judy, the Yongle Emperor of Ming Dynasty, claimed to be the embodiment of Zhenwu Emperor, and gave great support to Zhang Sanfeng and Wu Tang who sacrificed Zhenwu. At this time, Taoism is still dominant in various religions in China. After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, Taoism basically stopped developing. Since the Qing Dynasty, Manchu rulers believed in Tibetan Buddhism and suppressed Taoism, which was dominated by Han people. Taoism has since declined. After entering the modern society, Taoism declined even more.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), with the implementation of the new religious policy of the China government, the Chinese Taoist Association was established in Chinese mainland on 1957 to manage the internal affairs of Taoism in China. After the Cultural Revolution, Taoism began to resume normal religious activities, but not many Taoist monks became monks.

At present, there are nearly 654.38 million Quanzhen and Orthodox Taoists in Chinese mainland. According to preliminary statistics, there are nearly 30,000 Taoist temples in China, with more than 60,000 scattered orthodox Taoists and more than 30,000 registered Taoist venues. Taoist organizations include Chinese Taoist Association, provincial local Taoist Association and regional (city) local Taoist Association. Taoism in Taiwan Province Province and Taoism in Taiwan Province Province basically came to Taiwan Province Province with the early Han immigrants. At the end of Japanese occupation, many people believed in Taoism to show their national position, so Taoism was suppressed and Taoist temples were repeatedly destroyed, which needed to be preserved as Buddha statues or folk gods. This mixed phenomenon has continued to this day, which has also led to the separation of Taoism and Buddhism in Taiwan Province.

1949, Zhang Enpu, the 63rd generation Shi Tian of Zhengyi Road, arrived in Taiwan Province Province. After the appearance of 1969, the National Congress of Taijiang West Province promoted Zhang Enpu's nephew Zhang Wei as the agent to preside over the teachings, and now lives in Han Dynasty House in Taiwan Province Province.

In 2008, Zhang was in charge of feathering, and now it is the 64th generation of Daozhen.

According to the statistics of Taiwan Province Provincial Civil Affairs Department, Taoism is the largest religion in Taiwan Province Province.
