The “Lingzhi Culture” was greatly influenced by Taoism, the native religion in China. Taoism believes that living is most important and that human beings can be immortal by following the regimens and taking a certain magical herbs. Bao Pu Zi written by Ge Hong presented the theory suggesting that a person could learn to become immortal. It even included stories of such occurrences by taking Lingzhi.
The ancient Taoist theory considered Lingzhi as the best among the catholicons, and by consuming Lingzhi, one would never grow old or die. Поэтому, Lingzhi acquired the names, such as shenzhi (heavenly herb) and Xiancao (magic grass), and became mystified. In the book of Ten Continents in the World, Lingzhi grew everywhere in the fairy land. Боги питались им, чтобы обрести бессмертие.

Самые известные даосы в истории, включая Гэ Хонга, Лу Сю-Цзин, Тао Хун-Цзин и Сунь Си-Мяо, saw the importance of Lingzhi studies. They influenced greatly in promoting the Lingzhi culture in China. In pursuing immortality, the Taoists enriched the knowledge on the herb and led to the evolution of the Taoist medical practice, which emphasize health and well-being.
For their philosophy as well as a lack of scientific knowledge, the Taoists’ understanding of Lingzhi was not only limited but also mostly superstitious. The term, “zhi,” used by them referred to many other kinds of fungi. It even included the mythical and imaginary herb. The religious connection was criticized by the medical profession in China and impeded the progress of Lingzhi’s applications and true understanding.
