道教“道”理念的理论来源探讨

道教以"道"名教,最高信仰即为"道"。它的"道"理念的理论资源十分复杂,吸收了阴阳家、佛家、儒家等派的有关理论,但对其影响最大的,还是先秦的道家到汉代的黄老道家的道论。道教又是以长生成仙为修道的最高追求,所以它又以民间巫术、方士方术、神仙传说、符箓咒语等对道家的道论进行了宗教化改造,从而建立起自己教派的"道"观念,确立了自己的宗教理论体系的核心。

Probe into the Theoretical Sources of the Taoist Way

The ethical code of Taoism is Way. Way is also the supreme faith of Taoism. The concept of Taoism is derived from different sources, including the Ying and Yang theory, Buddhism, and Confucianism. However, it is the doctrines of the Taoists of the Pre-Qin Dynasty and Huang Lao Taoist in the Han Dynasty that imposed the strongest influence on the Taoism. Longevity and immorality constitutes the highest pursuit of the Taoism, which triggered the religious reform of Taoism in the forms of witchcrafts, occult techniques, fairy tales, and curses. The religious reform created the concept of Way in the Taoism, and established the core of its theoretical system.
