“Isiko LamaLingzhi” lathonywa kakhulu ubuTao, ​​inkolo yomdabu eChina.UbuTao bukholelwa ukuthi ukuphila kubaluleke kakhulu nokuthi abantu bangaphila ngokungafi ngokulandela izimiso zokuthi baphuze imithi ethile emilingo.I-Bao Pu Zi eyabhalwa uGe Hong wethula inkolelo-mbono ephakamisa ukuthi umuntu angafunda ukungafi.Ize yafaka nezindaba zezehlakalo ezinjalo ngokuthatha uLingzhi.

Umbono wasendulo wamaTao wawubheka iLingzhi njengengcono kakhulu phakathi kwamaKatolika, futhi ngokudla i-Lingzhi, umuntu wayengeke aguge noma afe.Ngakho-ke, uLingzhi wathola amagama, njenge-shenzhi (ikhambi lasezulwini) kanye ne-Xiancao (utshani bomlingo), futhi waba yimfihlakalo.Encwadini ethi Ten Continents in the World, i-Lingzhi yakhula yonke indawo ezweni lezinganekwane.Onkulunkulu badla ngakho ukuze bathole ukungafi.Ezikhathini Zobukhosi BamaJin, eka-Wang Jia ethi Ukucosha Abalahlekile kanye Nobukhosi Baka-Tan, eka-Dai Fu ethi The Vast Oddities, izinhlobo ezingu-12,000 ze-Lingzhi kwathiwa zilinywe onkulunkulu endaweni engamahektha omhlaba eMt. Kunlun.UGe Hong, encwadini yakhe ethi Legend of the Gods, unkulunkulukazi omuhle, uMagu, waphishekela ubuTao eMt. Guyu futhi wahlala ePanlai Isle.Wenze iwayini le-Lingzhi ngokukhethekile ngosuku lokuzalwa lweNdlovukazi.Lesi sithombe sikaMagu ephethe iwayini, ingane ephakamisa ikhekhe lokuzalwa elimise okwepentshisi, ikhehla eliphethe inkomishi nokhreni eline-Lingzhi emlonyeni sesiphenduke ubuciko besintu obudumile bokugubha usuku lokuzalwa olunezifiso zenhlanhla nokuphila isikhathi eside (Fig . 1-3).

Iningi lamaTao adumile emlandweni, okuhlanganisa uGe Hong, uLu Xiu-Jing, uTao Hong-Jing noSun Si-Miao, babona ukubaluleka kwezifundo zeLingzhi.Baba nomthelela omkhulu ekukhuthazeni isiko lamaLingzhi eChina.Lapho ephishekela ukungafi, amaTao acebisa ulwazi ngekhambi futhi aholela ekuthuthukisweni komkhuba wezokwelapha wamaTao, ogcizelela impilo nokuphila kahle.

Ngenxa yefilosofi yawo kanye nokuntula ulwazi lwesayensi, ukuqonda kwamaTao iLingzhi kwakungagcini nje ngokulinganiselwe kodwa futhi ikakhulukazi kwakuyizinkolelo-ze.Igama elithi, “zhi,” abalisebenzisa lalibhekisela kwezinye izinhlobo eziningi zesikhunta.Yayihlanganisa ngisho nekhambi eliyinganekwane nelicatshangwayo.Ukuxhumana kwezenkolo kwagxekwa abezokwelapha eShayina futhi kwakhinyabeza inqubekelaphambili yezicelo zikaLingzhi nokuqonda kweqiniso.
