Taoism is a local religion in China, which is based on the ancient concept of worship of ghosts and gods and the theory of Huang Lao, and inherits the theory of fairy witchcraft in the pre-Qin period. Taoism has existed since the humanities in China, and the existing written records can be traced back to the ancient Yellow Emperor, which has been 47 12 years.

At present, some Taoist researchers often regard Zhang Daoling and Shi Tian as the beginning of Taoism, believing that it is influenced by the Buddhist order. This argument is wrong. First of all, Buddhism is not the time for Shi Tian to establish religion. Buddhism has just been introduced into China, and cults have not yet been established. At that time, Buddhism was still attached to the development of Taoism (see the Book of the Later Han Dynasty). How is the establishment of Taoist groups influenced by Buddhism? As a loyal Taoist disciple, you should know this. This year's Christian Gregorian calendar is 20 15, the Buddhist calendar is only 2548 and the Taoist calendar is 47 12. Which is earlier, Buddhism or Taoism?
