Zhang Xiu(?) –200), a native of Ba County at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the true founder of Wudou Midao. Regarding Zhang Xiu, according to the "Classics", his activity should be later than Zhang Ling, who was a contemporary of Luo Yao and Zhang Jiao, and was an early leader of the Wudou Rice Road in the Bahan area. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicle of the Ling Emperor says: "In the autumn and July of the first year of Zhongping (184 AD), the demon witch Zhang Xiu rebelled against the Kou County. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Zhang Lu (三国志/张鲁傳) quotes the Canonical Strategy as saying: "In Xi Pingzhong (172-177 AD), the demon thieves rose up, and the three auxiliaries had Luo Yao. GuangheZhong (178-183 AD), zhangjiao in the east, Zhang Xiu in han. Luo Yao's people's Burmese law. The horn is Taiping Road, which is repaired as Wudou Rice Road. This is a relatively clear record of Zhang Xiu's earlier activities in the historical records.
That is to say, while Zhang Jiao was spreading the Taiping Dao, Zhang Xiu was also spreading the Wudou Rice Dao. The Jin Dynasty Chang Xuan's Huayang Guozhi Hanzhong Zhi also said: "Its offering is limited to five buckets of rice, so it is called 'rice road'." Later, according to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Lu's biography and the Later Han Shu Liu Yan's biography, it was Zhang Lu who developed into a general with troops by relying on his mother, and later he killed Zhang Xiu and "captured (or merged) his people", that is, Zhang Lu annexed Zhang Xiu's troops and also took Zhang Xiu's Wudou Rice Road. Mr. Lu Simian said: "The methods of doubting Lu are all inherited from various cultivators, and because they attack and kill cultivators, they do not want Yun to follow their path, but entrust them to their fathers and grandfathers." After Zhang Xiu's death, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms Zhang Lu said: "Lu was in Hanzhong, because of his people's faith in practicing cultivation, so he added ornaments", which is exactly in line with the previous statement that Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu and "took (or merged) his people", and contradicted Chen Shou's statement that "Ling died, Zi Heng did his way, and Heng died Lu Fuxing".
In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Lu's biography, Yun said: "The cultivation of the Fa is slightly the same as the horn, and the ashram is added, so that the sick can think about it." He also made people sacrifice wine for adultery, and the lord of the sacrifice wine took the "Five Thousand Texts of Lao Tzu" to make all the people learn, and called the adultery order. Pray for the devil, and pray for the sick. The law of prayer: to write the name of the patient, to persuade the meaning of sin, to make three links, one of which is up to the heavens, to the mountain; one is buried, and one of the sinking waters is called the three official handwritings. It is common for the sick person's family to produce rice, so it is called the Five Bucket Rice Division. It is not helpful to cure the disease, but it is obscene. But the little man was so stupid that he worked with him. ”
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, and his followers and Wudou Midao were captured by Zhang Lu. Zhang Luzi Gongqi's ancestral home was Pei Guofeng County (沛国丰县, in modern Feng County, Jiangsu). The warlord who divided the Hanzhong area at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is rumored to be the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Ling. After killing Zhang Xiu, he continued to spread the Wudou Rice Dao in the Hanzhong area and called himself "Shi Jun". Xiong ruled Hanzhong for nearly thirty years, and after surrendering to Cao Cao, guanbai zhennan general, fenglang zhonghou, food Yi wanhu. Some people believe that Zhang Lu is the author of the "Notes on Lao Tzu's Thoughts".
According to historical records, Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong because he attacked Zhang Xiu's teachings and "added ornaments". Those who come to learn the Tao are initially called "ghost pawns", but those who have been believed in the Tao are called "sacrificial wine", and the leaders are all the people; those who lead many are called "the great sacrifice of the head". There are no chief officials, and local government affairs are managed by sacrificing wine. Inheriting the teachings of his ancestors, the faithful do not deceive, so that the sick turn themselves in; the offender is forgiven three times, and if he commits another offense, then he is punished; if it is a minor offense, he should build a hundred steps to atone for his sins. According to the "Moon Order", when all things grow in spring and summer, slaughter is prohibited, and alcoholism is prohibited. He also founded the Righteous House, which contained righteous rice and meat, provided free food for passers-by, and declared that if he took too much, he would offend the ghosts and gods and become ill. Wudou Midao was later reformed by Zhang Lu and became the backbone of Zhengyi religion, which became the main foundation of early Taoism in China.
At the same time, according to legend, Zhang Ling "exorcised ghosts" in Qingcheng Mountain, and transformed a "ghost city" in Qingcheng Mountain to rule the people with ghost taoism. Shi Zai, Zhang Heng's wife "began with the ghost way", "also threatened the ghost road", and "used the ghost road to see the faith in Yizhou Mu Liu Yan". Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, "a ghost Taoist people, calling himself a master". It can be seen that the three generations of Zhang's ancestors and grandchildren have passed down the way of the family as the "ghost way". At this point, the matter was already clear: that is, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, and inherited Zhang Xiu's Wudou Rice Sect and reformed it. Later, under the guise of his grandfather Zhang Ling's name, wudou rice road was created by his grandfather and passed down from generation to generation.
