Taoism, as a native religion in the mainland, has always had the saying that "Taoist priests in troubled times go down the mountain to save the world, and Taoist priests in prosperous times return to the mountains". So in the modern War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression of the Chinese nation, which Taoist priests went down the mountain to save the world?
First place: Li Yuan, the head of the channel. Li Daochang joined the army in his early years, and later became a monk in the Qipantuo Taoist Temple in Langya Mountain, and used the Taoist Temple to help the Eighth Route Army cover the wounded and sick and build fortifications during the anti-Japanese period. The most talked-about thing is that Li Daochang saved two of the five heroes of Langya Mountain. After the five heroes of Langya Mountain jumped off the cliff in the textbook, three of them died heroically, and the other two were lucky to be hung by the branches on the mountainside, and were finally discovered by Li Yuandaochang and rescued in time.
Second place: Maoshan Taoist Li Yuhang. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Daochang Li led Taoist priests to devote themselves to the anti-Japanese war work, keeping food for the troops, liaising and intelligence work. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yuhang returned to Maoshan to continue his practice. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yuhang left the Taoist Academy and served as a teacher and principal in Maoshan Xiabogong Primary School. Lai Dao Chang was feathered in 2002 at the age of 86.
Third place: Tian Xinliang Daochang. After the Japanese occupation of the three eastern provinces, Tian Xinliang resolutely devoted himself to anti-Japanese activities, he formed a civilian armed force, which was used to maintain local law and order and carry out anti-Japanese and national salvation activities, and was later reorganized into the 12th Road Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, which made a lot of contributions to blocking Japanese invaders, destroying transportation, intercepting supplies, and cracking down on pro-Japanese traitors. But later unfortunately, due to the traitor's betrayal, Tian Daochang was arrested by the Japanese army, and the Japanese tortured him, Tian Xinliang sang Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong": "Zhuang Zhi is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood", and finally died heroically.
Fourth place: Cao Xinyi. After the fall of the Northeast, he often went down the mountain to transmit information to the anti-Japanese team and rescued the wounded anti-Japanese soldiers free of charge. Later, he and his fellow Taoists began anti-Japanese propaganda activities under the cover of preaching, encouraging the people to believe in Taoism and resist Japan together. After the liberation, the Taoist continued to practice at the Baiyun Temple in Beijing and promoted the Chinese state religion. He died in 2002 at the age of 95.
