唐代道教已成為國家宗教,道教齋醮也作為國家祭祀活動,受到唐代帝王的重視,道教齋醮也就豋上了國家祭祀的大雅之堂。

唐太宗即位之初,即敕命著名道士李含光建茅山壇宇,為國齋醮。唐太宗多次派中使赴茅山壇場,巡視齋醮,賞賜茅山修醮道士,令「依河圖內篇,奉修齋謝」。唐代茅山上清宗壇為國醮祭,名揚天下。唐五代著名文士徐鉉就稱讚茅山華陽洞天,金陵福地,群仙之所都會,景福之所興作,「故其壇館之盛,薦享之殷,修奉之嚴,樵牧之禁,冠於天下。」

武則天執政時期,多次敕命舉行金籙齋會和投龍簡儀式,為武周政權拜天謝過,鎮安社稷。大周天授三年(692年),武則天以大周革命,敕令金台觀主馬元貞往五嶽四瀆投龍,作功德。馬元貞等奉命赴東嶽泰山章醮投龍,作功德12晝夜,而唐高宗顯慶六年(661年)在東嶽舉行投龍儀式,僅齋醮7晝夜,說明武則天此次投龍儀式規模更大。

大周聖歷元年(698年),大弘道觀主桓道彥,奉敕於東嶽設金籙寶齋河圖大醮七晝夜,兩度投龍,儀式有加。

大周長安元年(701年),金台觀主趙敬,奉敕於泰山岱嶽觀靈壇修金籙寶齋三晝夜,又設五嶽120槃醮禮,奉金龍玉璧投山。 大周長安四年(704年),大弘道觀威儀師邢虛應等,奉敕於東嶽岱嶽觀建金籙大齋四十九晝夜,行道設醮,奏表投龍荐璧。

1982年5月,在嵩山峻極峰發現一枚武則天時期投龍時的金簡,有很高的文物價值,此《中嶽投金簡文》稱:

上言:大周國主武曌,好樂真道,長生神仙,謹詣中嶽嵩高山門投金簡一通,乞三官九府,除武曌罪名。

此簡系太歲庚子七月,即大周聖歷三年(700年)中元節投放。

唐玄宗尊崇道教,對齋醮儀式尤感興趣。「每中夜夙興,焚香頂禮。天下名山,令道士、中官合煉醮祭,相繼於路。」5 開元天寶年間,投龍奠玉,絲毫不遜則天武后,當時茅山華陽洞、天台山玉京洞、王屋山玉陽洞、青城山天師洞、南嶽朱陵洞等名山洞府,醮祭投龍,歲歲不絕。

唐代道教齋醮中的投龍儀式,一般要舉行金籙齋會,設1200星位的羅天大醮,舉行地點多在道教的洞天福地。杜光庭《天壇王屋山聖跡序》說:

國家保安宗社,金籙籍文,設羅天之醮,投金龍玉簡於天下名山洞府。

道教的投龍簡儀式源於天、地、水三官信仰,劉宋時已初步形成投龍祭祀儀式。至唐代、祭天、祭地、祭水的投龍簡儀式,已成為國家齋醮祭祀大典。

唐代京城長安和東都洛陽,是道教齋醮活動最盛之地。唐代長安有43座道觀,洛陽有12座道觀,唐政府設崇玄署,「掌京都諸觀之名數,道士之帳籍,與其齋醮之事。」開元十年(722年),唐玄宗詔兩京及諸州各置玄元皇帝廟一所,每年依道法齋醮,天寶初更改廟名,長安為太清宮,東都洛陽為太微宮。長安太清宮設御齋院和公卿齋院,成為國家齋醮的重要法壇。唐宋崇祀九宮貴神,九宮太乙所居之宮,司九州水旱災福,太清宮即設九宮神壇。李德裕《論九宮貴神壇狀》說:

九宮貴神,實司水旱,功佐上帝,德庇下民。冀嘉谷歲登,災害不作,每至四時初節,令中書門下攝祭者,准禮。九宮次昊天上帝,壇在太宮太廟,上用牲牢幣璧,類於天地神祇。天寶三載十二月,元(玄)宗親祀。乾元元年正月,肅宗親祀。

李德裕還撰《論九宮貴神合是大祠狀》,說九宮貴神上佐天極,下輔人極,輔相神道,實為國之大祠。
