Synthetic Research on Religious Taoism in Chiba

中国的道教思想已有两千多年的历史，至今仍对中国人的生活方式产生着深远的影响。因此，把握整个中国社会中宗教道教的现状和状况是非常重要的。我们对这些问题在大陆--中国进行了三年的研究，自1992.1992以来，主要研究了长江以北的北京、天津、辽宁、山东、河南、湖北、苏州等地的道教。自12世纪以来，这些省份的道教主要属于全真教。1993年，我们主要研究了长江以南地区的道教，即浙江、福剑、广东、湖南、江西、上海。这些省份的道教主要属于道教的另一个主要教派--忠义派。因此，广东的一些全真道士受忠义教派的影响，已经结婚并在自己的家中生活。1994年，首席调查员独自前往中国，获得了中国合作者的合作伙伴关系，补充研究了山西、山东和江西三省的道教。目前，我们正在对我们的研究进行总结。

So it is very important to grasp the present condition and situation of religious Taoism in whole Chinese society. We have researched into these problems in mainland-China for three yeares since 1992.1992, we chiefly researched Taoism in the northern part of Chang-jiang river, that is, Bei-jing, Tien-jing, Liao-ning, Shan-dong, He-nang, Hu-bei and Jiang-su provinces. Taoism in these provinces mainly belongs to Quan-zhen sect since 12th century.1993, we chiefly researched Taoism in the southern part of Chang-jiang river, that is, Zhe-jiang, Fu-jian, Guang-dong, Hu-nan, Jiang-xi and Shang-hai.
