How many fortune tellers are there in Maoshan?

Maoshan taoist did exist in history. Maoshan is located at the junction of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province and Jintan District, Changzhou City. It is the "eighth cave" called "the top ten caves" by Taoism. Maoshan taoist comes from Maoshan School, and maoshan taoist is also a branch of Taoism.

Speaking of it, maoshan taoist exists in history. Subdivided, Maoshan School is divided into North Maoshan Road and South Maoshan Road. The founder of Nanmaoshan is the famous alchemist Ge Hong, and the founder of Beimaoshan Taoism is Tao Hongjing. At the same time, Maoshan Road is a branch with strict significance, and it is by no means groundless. There are even many powerful people in the Maoshan Taoist temple.

The earliest history of Maoshan Taoism can be traced back to 82 BC, when Maoshan Taoism was in its development period. On behalf of Mao Ying, maoshan taoist came to Qushan, where Mao Ying collected Chinese herbal medicines, and then cultivated immortals. From then on, Maoshan Taoism began to appear and develop in history.

In the Tang Dynasty, the development of Maoshan Sect reached its peak. During the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 300 Taoist buildings, including palaces, temples and palaces, with more than 5,000 rooms and thousands of people. Therefore, the saying of "three palaces, five views and seventy-two temples" appeared, which proved that the Maoshan school developed very rapidly.

Although Maoshanzong achieved good development in the Tang Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty, the development of Taoism was banned by the Qing emperor. With the continuous development of Maoshan school in history, their Maoshan art is also very mysterious. It can even be said that Maoshan art is one of the most mysterious "spells" in the ancient history of China.

Now people are very curious about Maoshan. In ancient times, Maoshan was used to drive away monsters, but now it has its own teachings. Nowadays, Maoshan art is very mature, and many people like to study Maoshan art. There is no doubt about it.

Maoshan art is no longer used to drive away monsters. In history, Maoshan magic was used to remove monsters, and even magic belonging to Maoshan Sect appeared. For example, few people know these spells, such as the closed-door spell and the three-soul capture method, and even if they know them, they will not use them.

Most of Maoshan art has been lost. Maoshanzong's predecessor was Taoist Shangqing School, and the founders of Shangqing School were Fang Shiyang and Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They all worked as interns in Maoshan. Later, Tao Hongjing inherited the inheritance of the Shangqing School, from which the Maoshan School evolved. In this place, Maoshan, Tao Hongjing carefully compiled the Shangqing Classics.

In addition to Shangqing Jing, there are more than 200 volumes of Taoist scriptures, such as True Patent, Secret Method of Ascending Truth, and True Spirit Bitmap. Most of these Taoist scriptures have been lost. After Tao Hongjing, Mao's disciples developed his theory more completely after decades of arrangement. From then on, Maoshanzong began to carry forward.

Since Tao Hongjing, Maoshan Sect has produced a large number of talented people, and its influence is expanding day by day. During the Tang Dynasty, many Mao masters emerged, such as Wang, Pan, Sima and Li Hanguang. These Taoist priests even won the praise of the Tang Emperor. From this, maoshan taoist is by no means a charlatan.

Maoshan Taoism has been circulating for a long time in history. Maoshanzong mainly inherited the Dadong True Classics in Qing Dynasty, and maoshan taoist mainly recited the Classics. Incredibly, Tao Hongjing was an alchemist, even for Liang Wudi. From Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty, Maoshan School developed fairly well, but in Qing Dynasty, Maoshan School basically disappeared. Maoshan taoist is famous for catching ghosts and subduing demons, but this has nothing to do with Mao's teachings.
