Chapter 528 Daoén

"Hui Daoén" is a combination of "Hui Daoén" and "Hui Daoén". Taoist chanted scriptures and worshiped gods, created and spread the evil sayings, and had a very strong sense of faith. Huién was originally named after the types of weapons, focusing on swallowing talismans and chanting mantras, practicing martial arts, and protecting itself in the area. After long-term development, its organization has as many as hundreds of names.

The Congdao was formed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and was active and developed in the Qing Dynasty. It flourished during the Beiyang warlord period and the early period of Nanjing National Civil Affairs. It showed great differences during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and it tended to decline after the founding of New China.

In the early days of liberation, the relationship between Buddhism and the people's government remained relatively stable, but the "Entertainment" organizations, including many Taoist forces, chose to openly confront the government. There were more than 300 types of eunuchs in the country, with about 820,000 Taoist leaders and backbone members and about 13 million Taoist disciples. Most of these eunuchs were used by spies and became the largest reactionary organization that attempted to fight against the people's government at that time.

On October 10, 1950, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Instructions on Suppressing Anti-Unit Activities" drafted by Luo Ruiqing, then Minister of Public Security. In this instruction, the reactionary "Endo" organizations that once had been suppressing the anti-Unit Activities. In the early days of liberation, the new people's regime concentrated on their efforts to suppress bandits and fight against the special forces. Many feudal gangs were directly opposed to the new regime for various reasons. The issuance of this instruction officially showed our party's attitude towards the gangs. Under the iron fist of the people's democratic dictatorship, the people's regime completely buried the gang forces that lasted for hundreds of years in just a few years.

With the collapse of the "Entertainment" forces, the "Defeat all demons and demons" movement emerged during the Cultural Revolution, and the temples of major religions were affected again. Taoism was equated with "reactionary Entertainment" and was hit hardest. As a religion that was born and raised in the country, the number of Taoism was not as high as that of Christianity, which has always been excluded, and became the weakest religious group in China.

Regarding this phenomenon, Hong Danyang, who took over the vice president of the National Taoist Association, felt the heavy burden on his shoulders after taking office. The old man has achieved success and several disciples have made a name for himself. Of course, the nominal disciple Yang Xing helped him realize most of his dreams. He is already old, and it can be said that his biggest wish is to revive Tao. He also knows that his ability to sit in this position has a lot to do with his disciple Yang Xing, who has only practiced Taoist arts. In addition, his face that is hard to come by, so he puts his hopes on him and asks him what good solutions he has.

Yang Xing did not know much about religious affairs, but he had great experience in doing business and propaganda. He would never leave the same principles in the world. He took the courage to talk about his own views. Taoism has actually absorbed a lot of things from traditional Chinese Confucianism and Buddhist culture through continuous inheritance. This is also a feature of the inclusiveness of Chinese culture. Other religions have also learned a lot from other religions, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Since its inheritance, Taoism is a rare religion in China that completely preserves traditional Chinese customs and culture. It can be seen from the dress of Taoists. It is a green robe, a Taoist temple or a Taoist bun on his head, and a floating dust bun in his hands. It is the image of Taoist priests in the minds of almost every Chinese. In fact, this is also the most direct reflection of the clothes and clothes of Han people before the Ming Dynasty.

With the reform and opening up, the foreign trend of money supremacy gradually eroded our society, and the central government also noticed this. However, traditional political education is a formality and has little effect. Some people proposed to strengthen traditional cultural propaganda to fight against money utilitarianism. After all, national is the world, so Chinese studies have emerged, and religious culture that guides people to be kind and pays attention to spiritual cultivation has also been excavated. As the most complete branch of traditional Chinese culture, Taoism can adapt to the times and integrate modern cultural elements and improve it, it may be a new way to re-emerge Taoism.

This has already been a precedent, but unfortunately, the success of the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong was mainly because it was open and willing to undertake the daily customs and activities of the majority of Hong Kong citizens. In 1997, the Wong Tai Sin Temple was approved by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government as the first Taoist wedding venue recognized by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which set a precedent for Taoist weddings. Yang Xing's old friend Wang Yunqi was fascinated by the revitalization of Chinese studies, so Yang Xing helped them to provide advice on the propaganda. And Yang Xing's engagement banquet was undoubtedly a good platform to practice their ideas.

Hainan has a small population and is not obvious. Locals prefer to worship Mazu. But it does not mean that Hainan has no Taoist foundation. Yuchan Palace in Wenbifeng, Ding'an County, Hainan is known as the "Southern Sect Altar" and worships Baiyuchan, the actual founder of Taoism's Southern Sect and the fifth ancestor of the Southern Sect.

The Southern Taoism was born in the Song Dynasty and was a Taoist sect that mainly practiced the inner alchemy and supplemented by the practice of thunder. Yang Xing's dragon and tiger alchemy skills came from the Daozang of the Southern School. This time, Hong Danyang came to the south and presided over the Taoist wedding for Yang Xing. The main purpose was to vigorously promote Taoist reform measures in Hainan and Hong Kong and other places, and to recruit disciples. Therefore, the construction of Taoist ancestral temples in the south, promote Taoist culture, and revitalize Taoism.

More than a month before Yang Xing's engagement banquet, Hong Danyang came to Hainan to observe the local Taoist foundation. Although Hainan is small in population, Xiangming has many people who believe in various primitive religions. Hong Danyang wanted their original beliefs to be the title of Taoist immortals and let them belong to Taoist. This method has been tried and true in the spread of religion in history. Anyway, there are many Taoist gods and immortals. If possible, Hong Danyang wanted to include Mazu the most, but this was very controversial and could only slowly plan it.

This time, hosting a Taoist wedding for his disciples was a good occasion to promote the new Taoism. Most of the guests invited by Yang Xing were either rich or noble. If he wanted to impress them, he naturally had to hold a twelve-point spiritual ceremony. Taoist weddings were closest to the wedding ceremony of the Tang Dynasty in China. Although the steps were complicated, they were very lively. Yang Xing wore red color, wore a big red robe and a groom's hat, and rode a big white horse, as if he was the top scholar riding a horse in the play.

Dozens of his brides were all dressed in the bride dresses of all dynasties made of beautiful and ancient palace dresses. At first glance, the dragon and phoenix gowns and cheongsams were reflected. The Tang style low-end equipped with the Ming Dynasty phoenix crown and robe. Although it was a little match, Taoist weddings were also greatly improved, and the dress requirements were not strict. However, the guests were full of guests looking at the bride's modern costumes and were amazed. Many people thought that the retro style would be popular next year, and many beautiful ladies seemed to have a colorful wedding dress press conference.

At the engagement banquet, the people of the Fang family watched this scene and their resentment disappeared. They all felt absurd and angry when they heard that their NV children were going to engage with so many other NV people and a man. But Yang Xing's fiancées had a firm stand. Last year, Yang Xing also visited them, and they kept giving their families vaccinations. Today, most of the fiancée's family members were pulled up, and Yang Xing's grand engagement made them have to recognize the status quo.

The procedures for other people's engagement are not too complicated. Yang Xing is fine. He brought dozens of prospective brides with him. Even if it is difficult to notify friends in the officialdom, he only relied on his relationship and promised to take care of all participants' travel expenses. The relatives and friends who came and the old friends and a group of subordinates had hundreds of people, filling the company's large engagement venue built by the beach on the beach of Yu Yu, Boao.

After a complicated engagement procedure, the whole engagement banquet reached the top, and it was Yang Xing's turn to send the man's engagement. He waved his hand and the staff behind him brought trays covered with colorful cloth. With the order, the colorful cloth was lifted up, and the entire venue was shining, and everyone present exclaimed.

The bottom of each plate of the uncovered cloth was high-quality black velvet, and the diamond jewelry lined with a complete set of necklaces, earrings, and rings shone brightly. The necklaces and earrings were composed of countless diamonds. These diamonds obviously looked the highest international standards, regardless of size or purity. However, everyone in the venue stared at the huge colorful diamonds with colorful lights on the rings.

Everyone was not surprised when Yang Xing gave his fiancée diamonds. After all, diamonds have become a holy object for men to love each other in modern society. Sometimes I think of such a transparent stone as small as rice grains. It is just because of the unique structure of carbon molecules crystal structure, which has obtained the strong anti-skew and folding effect on light after cutting and its super hardness, and is regarded as a symbol of love and loyalty and an indispensable item in weddings.

It feels ridiculous when you think about it carefully, but due to the unremitting efforts of Western diamond companies, it not only received high praise in the West, but also represented wealth and luxury. Now it has also accepted Western concepts in China. Many people have begun to pursue it enthusiastically, regarding it as a capital for new collections and show-offs.

The Chinese people's enthusiasm for diamonds has only increased in recent years. After all, diamonds have never shaken the Chinese people's love for yu stones and gold in thousands of years of history. Until modern foreigners defeated the Qing court, we developed a strong fear and worship of Western culture, and gradually changed our aesthetic tastes based on Western standards, and also accepted the diamond culture that is most popular in the West.

International diamond production has always been monopolized by several large companies. In order to make diamonds the leader in the gem industry, they are willing to make big advertising internationally to establish an irreplaceable image of diamonds.

In 1939, due to the economic downturn, De Beers, the world's number one diamond manufacturer at that time, had to cut his production of 90s. In order to impress the world's demand for diamonds, he put forward the classic slogan "a diandfreever" and successfully sold diamonds to the public, causing diamond prices to rise all the way, and eventually formed the internationally highly monopolized diamond market today, which also made diamond prices rise all the way and became a top luxury jewelry.
