What is the status of the founder of Shimizu in Buddhism?

According to textual research, the founder of Qingshui was originally a monk in the Song Dynasty. Later, because the people in Fujian and Taiwan regarded him as a patron saint, he gradually became religious and became religious. Nowadays, the belief in the founder of Shimizu in Fujian and Taiwan is not an orthodox Buddhism, but a folk belief, which conforms to the typical characteristics of folk beliefs in Fujian and Taiwan, so today's belief in the founder of Shimizu can not be regarded as a real Buddhism. But purely folk beliefs. Therefore, it is only common in Fujian and Taiwan areas or overseas Chinese settlements with early Fujian immigrants.

Since ancient times, the official Dojo of Buddhism has been called Temple, An 'an, Lecture Hall, Jingshe and Lan Ruo, and most of them are temples. Taoism is called temple, palace and view.

The name "Rock", as a religious place for the founder of Shimizu, means that it belongs to a part of folk beliefs, that is, it takes some Buddhism and some Taoism and forms a unique folk belief with local characteristics.

Because it does not belong to orthodox Buddhism, it is a phenomenon to give him three sacrifices as gifts, which is also one of the characteristics of folk beliefs.

It just doesn't conform to the universal values of a certain religion. For example, everyone knows that Buddhism is a vegetarian, and Buddhism does not draw lots, but Qingshuiyan seems to have it, because although it was born out of Buddhist figures, it is not orthodox Buddhism.
