Dragon Gate Taoism

Complete Reality Taoism is generally divided into two main traditions, Southern and Northern.

Genghis Khan appointed Chang-chun overseer of all religions in China, and the Dragon Gate sect thus played a critical role in the conservation of the Han Chinese culture.

He authored the Dragon Gate's Core Teachings (龙门心法),[1][2] the Altar Scripture of the Jasper Garden (碧园坛经), the Precepts and Statutes of the Initial Truth (初真戒律) and the no longer extant Alm's-Bowl Mirror (钵鉴).

The principle is "learn from Buddhism, to comply with the precepts, diligently practice inner alchemy arts", so that the Dragon Gate branch became thriving.

After the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of People's Republic of China, which included the devastating destruction of religions during the Cultural Revolution, people's understanding of Taoism became more limited to the type of Taoism practiced in the temples located in major urban centers.
