Yongfu Town, zhangping city City, Fujian Province, is historically the center of communication of Lushan Dojo in Longyan, Zhangping, Hua 'an, Anxi and Nanjing in southwest Fujian. This hereditary inheritance system has a history of more than 500 years since the Ming Dynasty. The ceremony of transmitting degrees is called "transmitting degrees", also known as "transmitting degrees" and "opening the altar", which belongs to the ceremony of transmitting degrees and performing duties within the folk Taoist schools. Historically, the Lushan Dojo in Yongfu Town, zhangping city, southwest Fujian Province has a special right of communication to the Lushan Dojo in its surrounding five counties. The Taoist communication altar is hereditary, but its communication ceremony is open, which is rare in the Han folk Taoist teaching altar in southern China (except in minority areas). Starting with the investigation of the history of Chen, Cai, Li and Lu Dojo in Yongfu Town, this book systematically sorts out the origin, structure, shape, manuscripts and symbols of the local Lushan Dojo, and describes in detail the temple-building ceremonies of 1999 and 20 1 1 year, and carries out various aspects of their ceremonies. The main body of this book is divided into two parts. The first part is "Study on the Ritual of Teaching and Spreading of Yongfu Lushan Mountain in Zhangping", including the origin of Yongfu Taoist altar, the spreading system of Yongfu Taoist altar, the facilities for building the altar, the general situation of spreading instruments, the account of the secrets of spreading scriptures, and the discussion on related issues of Yongfu Taoist altar. The next edition is called Selected Works of Yongfu Taoist Temple in Zhangping, which contains 43 kinds of Yongfu Taoist Temple texts, of which 1 1 is the ciphertext about the inheritance of the builders, and the rest are the local Taoist Temple texts on Lushan Mountain, such as praying for disasters and lighting fires, and various literature search materials. In addition to more than 200 black and white pictures attached to the book, there are three groups of color pictures at the end of the book, totaling about 200: one is the ancestral altar of Yongfu main Taoist altar, precious religious relics in Ming and Qing Dynasties and thirteen literary works; Secondly, in 1999, there was a ceremony to spread the spirit in Lifu Village of Yongfu. The third is the altar-passing ceremony in Yongfu Village in 20 1 1 year. These pictures not only fully increase the vividness of this book, but also give readers a more intuitive understanding of the history and methods of Taoist altars. Through the above research results and rich materials, this book fully presents the religious form of Yongfu Lushan religion to the world religious circles, which will play a positive role in promoting the world to understand the traditional society of China and the study of China folk Taoist culture by cultural circles.
