This book The book takes Ye Fashan, a court Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty, as an example to discuss the history of Ye Fashan's creation of gods in the Tang and Song Dynasties. As a social public resource, famous Taoist priests have become arrow-stack-like symbols of saints. They are used by various social forces and are constantly given new divinities, including political additions by the central court and literary additions by legendary novels. Notes, pseudonymous annotations of Taoist scriptures, localized annotations of local Taoist temples, ancestor worship of the Ye family, etc. When a social force chooses to add divinity, it often refers to the existing divinity that has been attached to the name of the saint, or uses it to derive new divinity, or uses it to deconstruct the old divinity, thus forming divinity. flow. The divinity of saints is chosen and utilized, and the addition of divinity is not simply a history of accumulation. The divinity of folk gods is always in a dynamic process of addition and loss. The addition and deletion of divinity is only related to the realistic demands of social forces.
