Taoism is a typical polytheistic religion with a complex system of gods and an extremely large number of gods. "Tao" is formless and formless, and it gives birth to all things in the world. Taoism mainly has four major gods: orthodox Taoism, folk belief, ancient myths, and gods and demons. In Taoism, "gods" refer to innate saints who are born naturally, and "immortals" refer to people who acquire the Tao through acquired cultivation.
People usually use the words gods and immortals together or mixedly. The gods of orthodox Taoism are called "Zunshen", and the gods of folk belief are called "secular gods". The fictional gods in novels about gods and demons are generally not included in the scope of Taoist worship.
Sanqing is the highest god and leader of Taoism: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, collectively known as the "Three Treasures Tianzun of the Three Pure Realms and Three Realms of the Great Luo of Nothingness". The Three Pure Trinity is the embodiment of "Tao". "Tao Te Ching" says: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." Yuanshi Tianzun symbolizes the "infinite" state in which "the heaven and the earth have not been formed, and all things have not been born".
Lingbao Tianzun symbolizes the "Tai Chi" state where "chaos begins to judge, yin and yang begin to separate", and Daode Tianzun symbolizes the "harmony" state where "qi rushes into harmony, and all things are born".
