南岳(yue)火居(ju)道(dao)(dao)士(shi)(shi)屬道(dao)(dao)教(jiao)(jiao)正(zheng)(zheng)一派,此(ci)(ci)派淵源甚遠,其前身為(wei)東漢(han)張陵(ling)所(suo)創五斗米(mi)道(dao)(dao)及天(tian)(tian)師道(dao)(dao)。元(yuan)成宗大德八年(1304),帝授三十八代天(tian)(tian)師張與(yu)材為(wei)“正(zheng)(zheng)一教(jiao)(jiao)主(zhu)(zhu),主(zhu)(zhu)領(ling)三山(shan)(閻皂山(shan)、龍虎山(shan)、茅山(shan))符(fu)(fu)篆”。自(zi)此(ci)(ci),正(zheng)(zheng)一教(jiao)(jiao)誕(dan)生,與(yu)全真教(jiao)(jiao)并稱為(wei)道(dao)(dao)教(jiao)(jiao)兩大宗派。它們(men)一致以“三清”為(wei)至尊天(tian)(tian)神(shen),而教(jiao)(jiao)規(gui)卻大不一樣。全真教(jiao)(jiao)派有嚴(yan)格的(de)清規(gui)戒(jie)律(lv),凡道(dao)(dao)士(shi)(shi)必須出家,住宮觀,禁嫁娶,禁殺生,節飲(yin)食,少睡眠(mian),為(wei)清修派;而正(zheng)(zheng)一教(jiao)(jiao)派多(duo)有家室,不住宮觀,組織松懈,戒(jie)律(lv)不嚴(yan),為(wei)符(fu)(fu)篆派,多(duo)在(zai)民間從事降神(shen)、驅(qu)鬼、超(chao)度等活動。南岳(yue)因(yin)龍虎山(shan)近在(zai)江西,影響(xiang)所(suo)及,又加(jia)上楚人信(xin)巫,符(fu)(fu)篆祈禳之(zhi)術遂(sui)在(zai)南岳(yue)一般道(dao)(dao)士(shi)(shi)和(he)民間不脛而走(zou),應(ying)運(yun)而興。此(ci)(ci)為(wei)南岳(yue)火居(ju)道(dao)(dao)士(shi)(shi)的(de)前身淵源及形(xing)成。據此(ci)(ci)可(ke)以推(tui)斷(duan),這“三清橋(qiao)”位于“玄(xuan)都觀”側的(de)穿巖詩(shi)林之(zhi)中,這一定是道(dao)(dao)士(shi)(shi)們(men)認為(wei)的(de)“至尊天(tian)(tian)神(shen)”的(de)遺跡(ji)了......
在(zai)三清(qing)橋下就是“石(shi)浪臺(tai)”據介(jie)紹(shao),這是明末清(qing)初僧人破門修行(xing)打坐二十余年的地方,因他在(zai)此石(shi)上題(ti)寫了“石(shi)浪”二字,故名“石(shi)浪臺(tai)”。
