Maoshan Daoism

 

女性崇拜能够在道教中得到全面的继承和有深度和广度的发展,

不是偶然的,

而是有多种因素在起作用。

这是由主"阴"的思想基础决定的。阴阳的对立与统一,

这是道教思想的基本方法。

道德经》第四十二章说"万物负  阴而抱阳",

老子把阴放在前,阳放在后面,这反映了阴重于阳的思想。

在《道德经》中老子常把"道"这个最基本的范畴与母性的意思相联。

如二十五章说"(道)循环而不停,可以作为宇宙的母亲,

我不知道它的名字,就把它叫做道"。道在天地产生之前就已经存在,

它是永恒的,又是不断运行的。 道就是宇宙万物的母亲 。

女性之所以在道教中受到崇拜,

因为女性本身在道教组织建设中起到了很大的作用。

从魏朝和晋朝开始,有些女性成为道派的创始人,

或在道派的建设中以及经典的传授中成为重要任务。

如茅山。。。

上清派的第一代宗师魏华存就是其中的一位。
