What are the five techniques of Taoism?

Five techniques are an extremely important part of traditional culture and the most important classification of huge and complex metaphysics (called magic before Qin and Han dynasties, also called witchcraft and witchcraft, the same as the western saying). Generally speaking, they include five categories: mountains (Taoism), medicine, life, physiognomy and divination.

Practitioners, Tao (Tao refers to heaven, which can also be understood as the Tao of nature) is also used. It is the ancient ancestors who used natural ways to achieve various purposes. Xuanmen's "five skills", the so-called five skills, are the five senses of "mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy and divination", and it is a kind of knowledge aimed at crossing the river by our ancestors themselves. The way of nature and technology complement each other, protecting the body with technology, and achieving mountains, medicine, life, phase and truth with metaphysics.

Extended data:

Among the five techniques of metaphysics-mountain, medicine, fate, physiognomy and divination, the magic of "mountain" is the most controversial, and it is most difficult to explain the truth and falsehood of existence in a scientific way, nor can it prove its function. So there is a clear gap between believers and non-believers, and there is no intersection, so it is difficult to communicate.

People who are convinced regard it as a precious life or a magic weapon in the world, while people who are sincere and professional are sincere. Those who don't believe in it are denounced as absurd, blind superstition and stupid behavior. However, people who are dubious are most afraid of it, and people who doubt their feelings are the most.

But if there is a need to use magic, most of them will try it occasionally with the mentality of "believing in it but not believing in it".
