It should be noted that Taoism and Taoism are not the same concept. Taoism refers to an idea, and Taoism is a faction based on Taoist thought. Wudoumi, whose predecessor was Zhengyi Weimeng Taoism, was the first religious faction to complete the transformation of Taoist thought.

The difference between Taoism and Taoism Before discussing this issue, we need to clarify the relationship between Taoism and Taoism. As we all know, Taoism is a school of thought, which was put forward by Laozi, a thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period, after systematically summarizing the philosophical experience experienced by predecessors. Laozi advocates doing nothing and letting nature take its course, that is, catering to the law of natural development. This thought not only directly influenced the thoughts of China people in past dynasties, but also indirectly influenced the development of other academic schools.
The Pentecostal belief discussed in this paper originated from the Eastern Han Dynasty. They not only have different names, but also have different goals. In this regard, Li Qian, a master of Zhengzhou University School of Public Administration, once mentioned in the article "Overview of Taoism and Taoism":
Taoism's "Tao" not only absorbs its "Tao", but also personifies it and gives it life, making it a secular desire like others. In this way, Taoism's "Tao" adds the color of gods creating the world and has more religious feelings.
Laozi, the founder of Taoism
Although there are great differences between Taoism and Taoism in essence, the inheritance relationship between them can not be ignored. Undoubtedly, the thought of Taoist philosophy directly influenced and promoted the formation of Taoist religion, and the latter did admit to absorbing Taoist philosophy.
Of course, Taoism is not only a "direct descendant" of Taoism, but also absorbs the popular Fang Xiandao during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Taoist thought and Fang's witchcraft together formed the earliest religious faction of Taoism.
Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, which is very popular in Shu. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded a religious school in Hemingshan, Dayi County, Sichuan Province, which won the prestige for the Justice League. According to the legend handed down from generation to generation, Zhang Daoling once received the guidance of this old gentleman. After completing the "learning", he was named "Shi Tian", which is also the origin of the alias Shi Tianlu.

In the following days, Zhang Daoling established several missionary sites in Sichuan, and more and more believers followed the Justice League, and the scale of the Justice League gradually expanded. At the same time, Zhang Daoling also saved many people's lives with his medical skills, and was once loved by the people in Shu.
The reason why Wei Dao, a justice league founded by Zhang Daoling, can spread all over Sichuan in a short time is naturally closely related to his core idea of saving the world, but this is not the only reason. Before Zhang Daoling came to Shu, Buddhism was actually introduced here.
Although Buddhism was gradually introduced into Sichuan at that time, it did not form a systematic religious school, and its influence was even less than that of religious beliefs originating in Sichuan. In a sense, Shu at that time was still in the religious blank stage. The arrival of Zhang Daoling and the formation of the Justice League's Wei Dao naturally catered to the spiritual needs of Shu people.

Zhang Lu inherited Pentecostalism and tried to establish a separatist regime with the unity of politics and religion. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, Zhang Daoling has soared at this time, and his descendant Zhang Lu is responsible for leading the Justice League. Zhang Lu belonged to Ada at first, and then was divided into Hanzhong by force. At the same time, he has dual identities as a political and religious leader. At this point, the reflection of Zhang Lu biography has the following records:
Zhang Lu is a male, and Pei Guofeng is also a human being. Grandfather's mausoleum, a guest in Shu, learned Taoism in the mountains, wrote Taoist books to confuse the people, and gave the recipients five buckets of rice, hence the name rice thief. On his deathbed, Jpua went his own way. If you die, Lu Fuxing will do it. Yizhou herdsman, with Lu as Sima Yi's governor, and other Sima Zhang Wei, attacked Su Valley, the satrap of Hanzhong, and Lu Sui attacked and killed it, seizing all its people. How did you die? Yigen followed Lu and killed Lu's mother's family. According to Hanzhong, Lu Sui taught the people with ghosts and called himself a "teacher".
