Guan Yinzi of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries and Taoists: "The old title was written by Zhou Yinxi. The case "Classic Interpretation" contains: 'Happy character gongdu. What is the text? However, Lu Deming is not a writer, and should have been rumored. Li Daoqian's "Biography of the Immortal True Inner Biography of the Ancestral Court of the End Of the South" says that "the End South Building View is the former residence of Yin Xi", then the Qin people are also. ”
Yu Jiaxi's "Dialectics of the Four Libraries" volume 19 sub-section "Guan Yinzi" case language negates the claim that Yin Zhen is a Qin person in the "General Bibliography of the Four Libraries". He said: "The Classic Interpretation of Zhuangzi Yinyi and the World Chapter Guan Yin Tiao: 'Guan Ling Yin Xi Ye. Or Yun Yin Xi zi gongdu. As quoted in the Synopsis, Cover refers to this. Yin Jingshun's "Liezi Shiwen Huangdi" Guan Yin Tiao Yiyun: "Guan Ling Yin Xi Zi Gongdu, wrote nine books. Kao Gehong's "Biography of the Immortals" Volume Jiuyun: "Yin Rail Character Gongdu, Taiyuan people." Deming's words are suspected from this. However, it is said that Guan Lingyin is not said to be Guan Lingyin, nor has he seen Lao Tzu and the nine books written. And the order is after Kong Anguo, before the introduction, and its people seem to be born in the Later Han Dynasty, and Yin Xibi is not... person. According to the fourth volume of the Seven Signatures of Yunji, Yin Lu is the thirtieth generation of Taoism, and after Ge Xuan, Xuan is the twenty-ninth generation. However, the Book of Sleepy Studies, Vol. 20 Clouds: The Taixiao Sutra takes Yin Lu as Yin Xi. The work of the Taixiao Jing, when before Chen and Sui, should be dragged by The Lu clan. Neither the Biography of the Immortals nor the Inner Biography of Guan Ling says who is happy. Volume 13 of the Book of Beginners quotes the Louguan Benji on the day: Zhou Mu Wang Shang Shenxian, with Yin Zhenren's grass to make louguan, summoned a secluded person and placed him as a Taoist priest. "Yuanhe County Chronicle" volume 2 yun: "Louguan is in the east of the county thirty-seven miles, this week Kang Wang Doctor Yin Xi Zhai also." King Mu summoned the secluded one and made him a Taoist priest. From Xiangcheng to Qin and Han, there were Taoist monks living there. When the Jin Hui Emperor reset his land, there was an old Mr. Yin Building, because of the famous building view. At the beginning of Wu Dechu, he changed his name to Zong Shengguan (宗聖觀), and his deeds were "LouGuan Benji" and "Biography of the Ancestors". This is also the old saying that has been passed down since the Six Dynasties, and Li Daoqian is because of it. The Dao Qianyuan people, who came out at the latest, can not be used as a basis. And it is only called the forbidden city, and I am afraid that Yin Xi will be a Qin person before he gets it. "It is believed that Yin Rail (Gongdu) is not Yin Xi, and Yin Rail is a Later Han. To say that Yin Xi is the Doctor of King Kang of Zhou is just a legend, and Yin Xi may not be a Qin.
Jiang Boqian's "Zhuzi Tongkao" compiled the "Lao Tzu Chuankao" according to the words: "HanguGuan does not know what year it was placed. However, at the time of Confucius, Erkungu still belonged to Jinye. At the same time as Confucius, Lao Tzu did not yet have Hangu Guanye. 'Guan Yin', the official who guards the pass. 'Ling Yin', Chu Guan. This is not Chudi, the word 'order' is derived. Detail the tone of this article, is Guan Yin see Lao Tzu to Guan and happy. The descendant was Yun Guan Yin Mingxi, who wrote the book "Guan Yinzi", which was absurd. Fundamentally negated the person who had "Yin Xi".
Then, Jiang Boqian said: "The earliest place of Hangu Guan is about ten years after the dedication of the duke, and the fifth year of the dedication of the duke is established by the king of Zhou Xiao." Then he dedicated ten years, fifty-two years after the death of Confucius (forty-one years of King Jing of Zhou). Confucius was seventy-three years old, and assuming that he was thirty-five years old to see Lao Tzu, it would have been ninety years since he had been dedicated to the Gong Gong. When Lao Tzu met Confucius, he was at least fifty years old. Then ten years after the dedication of the public, Lao Tzu is one hundred and forty years old. Lao Tzu, Chu people. If he resigns, when as "Zhuangzi" says, "he will be exempted from returning to his home", Hu Wei will be a hundred and forty years old, and he will still travel far away to Qin Ye? Therefore, Lao Tzu, who traveled west through the pass, is by no means the history of the preservation rate seen by Confucius Shi zhou. ”
This theory negates the theory that the Zhou Shou Tibetan official Lao Nian traveled west through Hangu Pass. Since there is no matter of Lao Nie's journey to the west, why did "Guan Yin" like to see Lao Nie and force Him to write a book? The Guan Yin Zi Kao under the Zhuzi Yaokao also said: "The Hejaz has nine more Chapters of Guan Yinzi. Self-noted: "Fame and joy, for the guan official." Lao Tzu passed the pass, and he liked to go to the official and follow it. According to the "History of Lao Tzu". But the "Chronicle of History" does not say that it is happy to go to the officials and follow it. And according to the original text of the "Records of History", 'Xi' is not a personal name, and Lao Tzu is not trustworthy enough to handle customs affairs. See part I. Then the so-called 'Yin Xi' person is straight to the death is the public, and there are such ears as Mr. Wu. The falsity of his book is self-evident. The "Zhuangzi Dasheng Chapter" and the "Lü Shi Chunqiu Trial Self Chapter" all say that the son asked Guan Yinzi, and the "Zhuangzi Dasheng Chapter" and the Guan Yin and the old hire were both used. During the Warring States period, Guan Yinzi had become a legendary figure. ”
Jiang Boqian's "Compilation of the Study of the Sons": "The Daoists of the Hejaz have nine chapters of Guan Yinzi, which are now in one volume. The old title 'Zhou Yin Xi wrote'. "Guan Yinzi" is not only unreliable in the existing book, but also unreliable for those who wrote this book. The "Classic Interpretation" contains 'Joyful Character Gongdu', I don't know what the basis is. Li Daoqian's "Biography of the Immortals of the Ancestral Court of the End of the South" said: "The View of the End South Building is the former residence of Yin Xi. It is also the bottom of the Taoist language. According to 'Guan Yinzi', the Biography of Liexian is also known as 'Guan Lingzi'. It can be seen that he is called Guan Yinzi because he once did Guan Ling Yin, not the surname 'Yin', why should he still be called Day Yin Xi? ”
Guo Moruo's "Ten Critical Books": "'Guan Ling Yin Xi Yue' ("Records of History") originally meant 'Guan Ling Yin was happy and said', but the "Hanshu Yiwenzhi" actually had a "Nine Pieces of Guan Yinzi, Ming Xi". There is no doubt that these nine articles are out of false pretension."
Chen Guying's "Zhuangzi Jinzhuo Jinji Translation": "Guan Yin: That is, Guan Lingyin, named after the official position. Guan Yin and Lao Nie are juxtaposed, see "Tianxia Chapter". The old saying that Guan Yin was named Xi, and Gongshi 'Xi' meant happiness (see "History of LaoZi Biography"), mistaken for a personal name. ”
Gu Jiegang, in the fourth volume of the Ancient History Discernment, said in "From the Age of Speculation to the Book": "The facts of Guan Yin cannot be detailed, and to say that he was a disciple of lao hired is probably as unreliable as saying that Confucius was a disciple of lao hired." ”
In general, after specific historical research, the academic community basically believes that there is no real thing about Lao Tzu's journey to the west, and there is no "Yin Xi" person. The "History of Lao Tzu" is based on the legend of the pre-Qin Dynasty, not a true biography of life. Examination of the Analects of Gongyechang: "Ling Yin Ziwen Sanshi is Ling Yin, no joy; three have it, no shame." Shu: "Chu Chen, Ling Yin is the chief." ...... Ling, Shanye: Yin, Zheng, words and good people are also this official. "Ling Yin" was a very high official position in the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Was there ever a thinker who started the "Guiqing" in the name of the official position of "Guan Lingyin" at that time? Is it possible that there is such a person as Yin Ziwen in the Spring and Autumn Chu Ling? I thought that "Guan Lingyin" should have his own person, he created the "Guiqing" theory, and later generations falsely passed it on as Hangu Guanling; and because his thoughts were close to "Lao Tzu", it was also said that he was a student of LaoZi. In order to connect the two, the story of Lao Nie's journey to the west and Guan Yin's encounter was even fictionalized. Sima Qian wrote the "Biography of Lao Tzu" according to legend, with the sentence "Guan Ling Yin Xi", and posterity misunderstood a "Yin Xi" to come.
