Degree of words and deeds
The old man said: "My words are easy to know and easy to do; The world can't know and can't do it. " Therefore, his salvation is nothing more than "words" and "deeds".
The so-called "words" are the teachings of the old gentleman, such as the Tao Te Ching awarded by Yin and the Taiping Ching written by Gan Ji. The content contained in these classics was originally the mantra of Yun Zhuan, which was transformed by the Tao before heaven and earth. The old gentleman translated the metaphysical meaning that these ordinary people could not peep at his consciousness by being reduced to saints, so that ordinary people believed it.
The so-called "doing" is the way to practice, or practice. In the old Xiangzi Jules, special emphasis was placed on "obeying the Tao and observing the precepts", which was taught by the old gentleman to his ancestor Shi Tian. Including some codes of conduct derived from Tao Te Ching, the responsibility and mission of Taoist priests, and the daily self-study method of "thanking the truth". Later, "Xie Zhen" developed into the most important "natural pilgrimage" ceremony in Taoism, which was also a * * * ceremony for Taoist believers to worship, apologize and pray for blessings collectively, and the public was thus integrated with the avenue.
When the old man goes down to the Holy Land, the faithful and diligent people will enjoy the peace of the world under the guidance of the old man, and then the truth will be realized, and there will be no more suffering from sinking.

Song Wang used one of the roles in Ten Years of Lao Wang: Mr. Gu, Emperor Jin Que and Yu.
King Song used the second part of "Ten Changes of the Old Man": Marxism, Guang Shouzi, Guang Chengzi and Zhen Hangzi.
Because people's hearts are becoming more and more evil and hypocritical, the old gentleman came down to teach the way to save the world.
In ancient times, people were simple, and the old gentleman only civilized himself with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and did not teach him the way of self-cultivation. After Huang San, people's hearts became more and more deceitful, and the old gentleman degenerated many times and became a son, teaching the Yellow Emperor how to manage his body. Turn into red essence and teach Zhuan Xu the way of loyalty and obedience; Turn it into a documentary and teach Di Ku the way of peace; Turn it into a business and teach Tang Yaolian the way of sincerity; Turn into Yin Shouzi and teach Emperor Shun the way of filial piety; Turn it into reality and teach Yu Xia the way of thrift; Turn Tin into a child and teach Tang Yin how to love.
Song Wang used the third part of Ten Years' Change of the Old Man: Yi, Wu and Chuanyuzi.
In the ninth year of Wuding, Yin Wang and the old gentleman were born in Ku County to teach the people all over the world. With the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, Yin won the Tao Te Ching as the "way of inaction", while the later Han declined, and Han won the "way of uniting power" in Hemingshan. Based on the old Xiangzi Jules, Tianshi Dao aims to teach people to thank the truth as the gateway to the world. This is the most important way to cultivate one's morality.
Since ancient times, people have celebrated the holy day of the old man on February 15 to thank him for his great merits in educating the world, which is also an important part of the Taoist series "True Christmas". We will tell you about the long history of Taoism celebrating real Christmas.
