Since I was a child, I have been influenced by the heroic history of the Three Kingdoms, and I have a high degree of respect and admiration for Guan Gong; therefore, I am determined to become a scholar of literature and history, and I have the opportunity to serve as the propagator of Guan Gong's spirit of loyalty and righteousness. When he was studying for a master's degree or a doctorate, he would participate in the "Zhongyi Literature Award" held by the China Guansheng Culture World Promotion Association, and since then, he has devoted himself to studying the literary history and faith connotation of the emperor, and at the same time, he is deeply interested in the various activities held by the unit to promote the moral culture of Guangong. After participating in various academic and artistic activities and observing from the sidelines for a long time, I deeply feel that although "loyalty and righteousness" is a universal value recognized by the public, if we only use ideological ideas, or even only the good knowledge of religious beliefs to understand "Guan Gong morality"; or only use the four books and five classics, Buddhist taoist classics and other difficult words to highlight the so-called "Guangong culture". This is actually very easy to draw self-limiting and even walking into a dead end in how to carry forward the spirit of Guangong in today's society to promote the spirit of Guangong and enhance the connotation; so while telling the story of Guangong, we should explain in detail the transmission of the spirit and moral model of Guangong culture. Perhaps the hero saw the same thing, the head of the association set up the "Guan Di Zhongyi Spirit Propaganda Group" in 2013, and preached the correct faith and the meaning of worship of God at all levels, which had a very shocking positive impact on the Chinese society. Looking forward to 2022, if more loyal people can invest in it, then the enthusiasm for promoting the spirit of loyalty and righteousness of Emperor Guan will sweep across Asia.
Based on the author's understanding of the China Guansheng Culture World Promotion Association over the years, under the leadership of the principal, it has long been committed to the promotion of The Moral Model and Academic Culture of Guangong, and has issued many books that carry forward the connotation of the spirit of Guangong. For example, the book "Records of the Spirit of the People of The Protector of the Country by Emperor Guan" contains more than 100 stories of believing in Guan Gong morality and spreading Guan Gong culture in the past and the present, and here is an example:
The Ming Bible method dissolves the throat fish thorns
Zhong Shilong was born in the 21st year of Qing Daoguang (1841 AD) in Wenji City, Shandong Province, and has been reading poetry since childhood. After becoming an adult, he recruited students from the city in his hometown and spared no effort to teach poetry and books. Cultivate many talents in the country to serve the townships. Zhong Shilong himself revered Emperor Guan and recited the Taoyuan Ming Bible after class, so he was blessed by the emperor and the family was peaceful and peaceful. Although the children under the knees are in groups, they can all keep to themselves in peace, forge ahead, and are quite envied by the locality. In the year of Gengyin (1890 AD), on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhong Shilong's child accidentally choked his throat due to a fish, although he was diagnosed and treated by prolonged medical treatment, or could not be cured by spell hydration. His parents were worried, and when there was nothing he could do, Zhong Shilong vaguely heard someone whispering in his ear: "Ru Ping's respectful service to The Holy Emperor guan is very diligent, but in front of the Emperor's icon, he can recite the "Taoyuan Ming Bible" thirty-six times, in order to hydrate it, and after asking for it, you can get rid of the throat fish bones." Zhong Shilong suddenly realized, immediately changed his clothes and bathed, prayed in front of the icon according to the instructions of Emperor Guan, and sincerely recited the Taoyuan Ming Bible, after obtaining the Water, let his children drink, and sure enough, the fish bones were immediately removed, and the spiritual experience was abnormal. The neighbors were amazed to hear about this, and everyone believed that Zhong Shilong was a good person in the locality, full of peach and plum and not greedy for non-divided wealth. Therefore, as soon as there was any difficulty, Guan Sheng Emperor Naturally immediately reached out to help. Later, Zhong Shilong's youngest son, also because of his blessing, rose step by step in his meritorious name, and was an official to the envoy of jiedushi, and the family of Fuyin.
The above article is included in the ninth and sixth chapters of the book "Guandi Protector of the Nation and the Spiritual Examination of the People", which is widely disseminated and circulated, no less than the Guandi classics circulated in the media, which confirms that the "Guansheng Emperor Junjue Shi Zhenjing" is "convenient for time and convenient, widely accumulating Yin Gong ... Printing scriptures, teaching people" and other spiritual ideas.
The author believes that although the association is a non-governmental organization, it has achieved remarkable results in the study and promotion of classics, the reserve of seed teachers, the editing of classic special journals, and the training of palace and temple guides over the years. In cooperation with Taiwan Normal University and Yunlin University of Science and Technology, it also cooperated with Guandi Temple, representative of Taiwan's north, central and southern districts, and actively handled the teaching of classics and cultural guide lecturers' training courses. Looking at the achievements of these efforts in promoting the moral culture of Guangong, it can be said that the effect of the "Guan Di Zhongyi Spirit Propaganda Group" has been brought into full play in Taiwan. In addition, it is necessary to assist taiwan's palaces and temples to train professional lecturers to strengthen their teaching staff, and to achieve the ideal vision of promoting the culture and moral spirit of Guan Gong through storytelling during temple visits. Since 2005, the organizers have continued to hold dozens of "Zhongyi Literature Awards" and dozens of "Guangong Cultural Festivals". Its contribution to the enhancement of the value and positive impact of the people's hearts in today's society is far more than the effectiveness of government decree propaganda and institutional education in terms of the function of purifying society and transforming people's hearts. In addition, in 2015, under the impetus of people with lofty ideals, Hong Kong also established the "Promoting Guan Di Charity Foundation", which has also been committed to promoting the moral culture of Guan Gong in recent years, and the vigorous promotion of the spirit of Loyalty and Righteousness of Guan Gong has long aroused the attention and resonance of the two sides of the Straits and the three places. The author thinks that this is all in line with the Guandi Jingxun's "Ten Thousand Classics and Thousands of Classics, but my Classics have not been held." The implementation and inheritance of the world cannot be regarded as light" Therefore, looking forward to 2022, the author hopes that these non-governmental organizations can further invite scholars and experts who have gathered the spirit of loyalty and righteousness and spoken out for Guan Gong justice, so that the vision and mission of the spirit of Loyalty and Righteousness of Emperor Guan can be practiced together in the three places on both sides of the strait, and even in the Chinese life circles of the three oceans and five continents. I sincerely hope that the concept of righteousness and belief in the moral culture of Guangong can be spread to the world for a long time, so as to purify people's hearts and educate the people.
