Chapter 1031: The Dust of History

In this report, which lasted for tens of thousands of words, the marshal, who was a member of the Hui Party when he was young, rebuked in the most severe tone the illegal acts of the Hui Sect, the Dao, and the Sect that were rampant throughout the country at that time. ใ€Žใ€Ž[Mobile phone users directly visit wรจnๆ‰‹ๆœบ็‰ˆm.dashubao to read novels is more convenient!] Please search Pinshu.com to see the most complete and fastest novels

At that time, all kinds of guilds, Taoist and sect organizations that were rampant throughout the country officially emerged in the 15th century during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, but its history can be traced back to at least the late Yuan Dynasty or even earlier.

And this period was the beginning of the end of the Dharma era recognized by the mage world.

If long-term cultivation does not yield results, ascension becomes unattainable, and the ultimate goal of cultivation becomes confused.

For a small number of mages with firm ambition and high moral character, it may not be a problem, or even willing, but the vast majority of mages are only mortal after all, seven emotions and six desires are not endless, and the world's flavors are not broken, they can't bear this poverty, they can't bear this loneliness, and finally leave the place of cultivation far away from the red law, enter the world, and use the spells they have learned to seek wealth and power.

There are one and there are two, there are those who take the lead, there are those who follow up, and they also learn a spell, why can others enjoy all the glory and wealth in the red dust, but I have to hide in the mountains and suffer from poverty

If the monk can touch it, I can't touch it

In a word, after exhausting the state of affairs of the world where people's hearts are insufficient and hateful, many mage sects have entered the world one after another, and the purpose of cultivating the Fa and refining qi has quietly changed.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was obsessed with Dandao, and the power of the Daomen mages rose sharply, and they were rampant, but with the death of Jiajing, the civilian government, which had long been dissatisfied with the surge of Daomen's power, increased its blow to the Daomen.

As a result, the glorious mage organizations left the court and scattered into the people, but the mages who had already enjoyed the luxury of the red dust naturally refused to retreat to the mountains and forests to endure hardships and sins again, so they simply lurked in the red law, developed believers, and captured wealth.

The more they indulge in the red dust, the more they have no intention of practicing, and the mage group retires as a whole, and the difficulty of the so-called end of the Dharma deepens, and the more so-called mages are so, the more unwilling they are to spend all their lives on cultivation, and only want to enjoy life in the red dust.

In this way, a vicious circle was formed, and the mages entered the world one after another, teaching and teaching skills, and collecting money.

The practice of magic is a very talented thing, and most of them cannot practice even if they get the Fa-rectification, but this does not prevent them from claiming to have the power of mana, so various branches and remnants have developed one after another, spreading throughout the country, and in the end, the mainstream is those pseudo-mage organizations that do not understand real magic and mainly use deception to tempt people's hearts, demagoguery, collecting money and seeking wealth, and often rebel and riot, which makes the governments of all dynasties deeply hate.

The attitude of the Ming and Qing governments was unanimous with regard to these mage organizations that had developed among the people in the name of religion and miscellaneous cultivation of the law, and they all regarded them as cults, and they were called "the art of the leftist way and disorderly righteousness," "the demon party," and "the theory of the evil people."

The term "cult" was officially published in official documents during the Qing Dynasty. In the edict of the 13th year of the reign of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, there were provisions on "all leftists confusing the masses," "following cults," and "punishing crimes with additional punishments." Since then, regulations such as "strict investigation and punishment" and "cults confusing the masses" have appeared on official documents many times.

During the period of the Republic of China, the Nationalist Government called it "Daohuimen" or "cult", and in the liberated areas it was initially called "Daomen" and "Huimen", and after the Red Dynasty was established, it was commonly called "Huidaomen".

In the early days of the Red Dynasty, there were more than 300 kinds of Taoist sects in the country, about 820,000 Taoist leaders and backbone elements, and about 13 million Taoist disciples. In the face of the nascent red regime, most of the Taoist organizations expressed natural hostility and resistance. All kinds of reactionary associations and sects carried out propaganda among their followers, spread rumors to confuse the public, extort money and women, sabotage production, disrupt social order, and even planned armed riots.

It was against this background that the marshal wrote this report with great concern, and pointed out that the Huidaomen had become a cancer in society, and if it was not dealt with in a timely and resolute manner, it would even endanger the stability of the new regime.

The marshal's report was highly valued by the central government, which triggered a vigorous and vigorous movement against the feudal reactionary society, and officially kicked off the long-lasting tug-of-war between the new generation of imperial court and the mage organization.

On October 10, 1950, the Central Committee issued the famous Double Ten Directive, that is, the instructions on the suppression of counterrevolutionary activities, and the banning of reactionary associations was an important one.

On February 21, 1951, the Central People's Government promulgated the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Punishment of Counter-Revolutionaries, Article 8 of which specifically stipulates that "anyone who uses the feudal guilds to carry out counter-revolutionary activities shall be sentenced to death or life imprisonment; โ€

In October 1952, the Central Committee approved the resolution of the Fifth National Public Security Conference, which explicitly called for "launching a large-scale mass movement to ban the Daomen in the new areas and rural areas where the land reform has been completed and in the cities where the reactionary sects have not been banned, arresting the provincial capitals that should be arrested, and organizing a broad campaign to withdraw from the Daoists in conjunction with extensive and in-depth propaganda and education work, so as to solve the problem in a concentrated manner and basically destroy the organizations of the reactionary Daomen." โ€

In accordance with the arrangements for suppressing the counter-revolutionary movement, in 1953, in the new areas and rural areas where land reform had been completed and in the cities where reactionary associations had not yet been banned, the "banning of reactionary associations" was carried out, and the leaders and backbone members of the "reactionary associations" were arrested on a large scale and sentenced after trial. After that, until the early 1960s, public security organs in various localities carried out several rounds of "banning reactionary associations" and basically eliminated all overtly organized associations in Chinese mainland. Some of the leaders and backbone members of the "reactionary sects" fled abroad to continue their activities in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Thailand, and other places, and established new sectarian organizations. Some of the rooted mage organizations retreated to the mountain gate to wait for the opportunity.

This was the first round of crackdowns on the Red Dynasty government's official attack on the mages and their subordinates, remnants, branches, and cult organizations that were holding big banners as tiger skins.

With the power of Dingding, with the momentum of thunder, swept the world, which lasted for nearly ten years, more than 100,000 people were sentenced to death in this movement, and millions of people were arrested and sentenced, sweeping away the underground society of the country for hundreds of years, that is, the so-called rivers and lakes.

In the face of such a powerful power that overwhelms the mountains and seas, all the mage sects are interested in latent patience.

The contest is far from over.

Here's a digression.

Much of this chapter is historical. In order to write part of the content, I looked through a large number of historical materials on the crackdown on feudal reactionary associations and sects in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the contents I read can only be described as shocking, and the danger and horror of the cult when it was rampant are simply unimaginable.
