Sanhuangwen ( Wh . 三皇 文 ) - The writing of the three most august - the Taoist tradition that existed from the Han era to the Jin dynasty (265-420) . Accurately outline the time of the appearance of school is difficult. Her most famous representative was Ge Hong . The tradition is named after the tract of the same name.
Later, around the year 400 , Ge Chaofu , grand-nephew Ge Hoon collected the works of the school and founded a new school of Lingbao . When the Taoist canon was formed, the writings of Sanhuangwen were collected in the canon Dong shen энь 神 部 section, in the second there were the writings of the Lingbao school , and in the third - the writings of the Shangqing school.
Features of the exercise
The name Sanjuang appeals to the legendary Three Lords (see Three Lords and Five Emperors ), specifically Fuxi , Shennong , Huangdi .
Ge Hoon mentions in the 19th chapter of Baopu-tzu about the Pismeny of the Three Most August, as a wonderful book kept secretly in the mountains and transmitted only to the high-worthy;
This treatise Sanhuanwen 文 consists of three parts - the writing of the Heavenly Emperor, the writing of the Earth Emperor and the writing of the Human Emperor.
Part of the content of the tradition is reflected in the Baopu Tzu .
The Sanhuanwen Taoists practiced individual spiritual practices that were forbidden to pass on to direct heirs, which is why family representatives received them not through their parents, but through other persons. The Sanjuanwen tradition itself is presented as a network of Taoist mages who teach individual students the secrets of alchemy, longevity, healing, breathing exercises, and preparing the components of the “ golden elixir ”.
In the surveys carried out by Ge Hoon, there is practically no mention of the School of Heavenly Mentors , which suggests that the Writings of the three august were formed independently and had different interests. Unlike the School of Heavenly Mentors , cultivating mediums and practicing complex collective rituals, the writings of the three august are based on a purely independent practice.
The school’s teaching included numerous methods of practical magic - spells, talismans, summoning spirits, preparing elixirs. The Taoists of this school were primarily engaged in the search for individual immortality, for which they went to the mountains, looked for wonderful mushrooms, tried to find high-purity minerals - gold, mercury, cinnabar, silver; studied herbs and made drugs.
