Heartfelt conversion. The congenital is holy, the immortal golden immortal is wide and falling, the foolish and virtuous are great, the Taoism is thousands of flooding counties, ten thousand Confucians are preached Taoism, the stubborn stone nods on the tip of the tongue, the guinea snake refines the seven true titles, the gong cover Lingyan ranks among the golden immortals, the jade Qing spirit always exists in love, illuminates the thousands of spirits and is really slaughtered, the supreme law is strict and immortal, and the Taoist fan lasts forever. Quanzhen Enlightenment, Emperor Chongyang.
Chongyang Patriarch
Wang Chongyang, formerly known as Zhongfu, the word Yunqing, changed his name to Zhe (zhé) after entering the Tao, the word Zhiming, the name Chongyangzi, a native of Xianyang, Shaanxi, 1112-1170 AD, the founder of the Taoist Quanzhen School. Taoism is revered as "Chongyang Guangjiao Xingxuan Yude Emperor", "Flying Rain Miaohua Tianzun", and lives in the Quanzhen Yanjiao Palace.
Zenshin Ancestral Garden
I believe that many people know that Wang Chongyang and other disciples "Quanzhen Seven Sons" are in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels. However, in history, what kind of figure was the real Wang Chongyang, and how did he establish Quanzhen Tao and influence the development of Taoism in China?
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoism was divided into official Taoism and folk Taoism. The official Taoism is the Fugong school of Taoism, which is admired by the ruling class. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong of the Song Dynasty admired Taoism to the extreme, and the Taoist priests of the Fu Sect such as Lin Lingsu, the Holy Favor, used the Taoism of the Fu Sect to deify themselves, and proclaimed himself "the Emperor of the Dao Monarch", and ordered the world to build the Shenxiao Palace to be enshrined. Excessive favor makes the Taoist priests of the Fu Seal School prosperous and declining inside, and the Taoist priests are given official titles, beautiful clothes and food, which are quite corrupt.
However, the Taoism of the Fu Zheng sect advocated by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty did not free him from internal and external troubles. The Jin people not only robbed him of his Jiangshan Sheji, but he also became a prisoner of the Jin people. With the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, most of the Taoist temples in the north were destroyed by military disasters, and most of the upper-level Taoist officials crossed to the south.
It was in this historical and ideological background that the Quanzhen Tao was born, Wang Chongyang was a Confucianist since he was a child, was keen on the imperial examination, and had been in the martial arts. However, under Kim's rule, he was depressed and discouraged, so he resigned angrily and left home to live in seclusion. It is said that he once received the secret of cultivation from two strangers, so he entered the Tao and practiced, and achieved great success. While cultivating, he also carried out missionary work, but with little success, so he resolutely traveled east to Shandong to preach. In Shandong, he accepted the famous seven disciples, established five churches, and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Quanzhen Dao.
Based on the cultivation of Neidan, Wang Chongyang advocated the unity of the three religions, advocating unintentional forgetfulness, weakness and quietness, sincerity, less thinking and few desires, and monkhood and practice. Because of the internal cultivation of "seeking to return to its truth", advocating the perfection of both merit and deeds, in order to become an immortal and prove the truth, it is called "full truth". Wang Chongyang advocated ordination and nunnery in practice, and founded the form of Taoist monks who lived in the temple.
As the patriarch of Quanzhenjiao, Wang Chongyang has written a lot, and now the popular ones are "Chongyang Quanzhen Collection", "Chongyang Enlightenment Collection", "Chongyang Lijiao Fifteen Treatises", "Chongyang Conferring Danyang Twenty-four Tips", "Yunzhonglu", "Taoguang Collection", "Dividing Pears and Ten Transformations" and so on.
Die without dying, return to your true self
The living dead are obedient, and the water and clouds are not a happy one. The name of the road is called Chongyangzi, and the name is called no burial. Wang Chongyang's self-cultivation method is to put aside the so-called secular concepts and show a "crazy" and comfortable "crazy Taoist" in front of the world. He called himself the "living dead," and it wasn't for nothing. At the beginning, he dug a tomb by himself, and built a grave bag of several feet, on which hung a square plaque with his name written on it, and then lived here alone for more than two years, and suddenly filled it in again, and disappeared alone. The world can't understand what Wang Chongyang wants to do, so he can only conclude that he is "crazy".
Wang Chongyang felt a lot during this period of retreat, and wrote a poem "The Tomb of the Living Dead Presents Ning Bogong" to express his joy of enlightenment from chaos.
The living dead are the living dead, and the four falsehoods are the cause of self-burial.
The sleeping feet in the tomb are scattered, and the walls are broken and the void is dusty.
The living dead are the living dead, and the empty is the cause of emptiness.
There is often a vacuum scene in the tomb, and Wu is empty and not dusty.
The quote here is only a fragment of it, but it is not difficult to see Wang Chongyang's "crazy" image. repeatedly sighed at the "living dead", and it is not difficult to see that Wang Chongyang has bid farewell to the past and comprehended the ideological improvement of Taoism. A "dead" one is buried, and a "living" one is born out of the darkness. "Living" is for the body, and "dead" is the old soul.
For cultivators, the soul of the past is dead, but the body is still alive, "death without dying" is the greatest pain, Wang Chongyang chose to bury his past "dead soul", so as to get a new life, discover the happiness of "leisure", and return to his true self.
Wang Chongyang tea poems
In the process of establishing a mission, Wang Chongyang wrote a large number of poems to spread his Taoist thoughts. This is not only a new form in the evolution of Taoism, but also a new atmosphere in the world of words at that time, with unique charm. At the same time, Wang Chongyang loved to drink tea, and later generations listed him as the founder of the Quanzhen Dandao tea of Danzen joint practice.
Tea occupies an important position in Wang Chongyang's heart. "One to Seven Character Poems: Yong Tea" is the only good thing in its "Tea and Wine Color and Wealth" series that can "give birth to empty wisdom and produce vanity". The original poem is as follows:
Tea, tea.
Calyx, Qiong bud.
Empty wisdom, out of vanity.
Refresh your spirits and summon the clouds.
It is my heart, and I don't talk about the world.
One cup is only Li Baixing, and seven bowls belong to Lu Tong's family.
Jin Ze can only cook jade, so that the golden flower will be passed through.
Wang Chongyang lived at the junction of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, and his creation was naturally based on words. Wang Chongyang's lyrics have a significant feature, that is, they return to the meaning of the word card itself. He changed "Sauvignon Blanc" to "Chang Si Xian", changed "Nan Kezi" to "Wu Nan Ke", changed "Golden Man Holding the Dew Plate" to "Shang Lingxiao", and created new words such as "Water Cloud Travel", "Super Shore", "Dengxian Gate" and so on. Wang Chongyang's move is to increase the cultural connotation of the work through the association of the word plate itself.
Wang Chongyang's frank and free character also explains what is the Tao and what is life.
Write at the end
Promoting traditional Chinese culture is not only self-cultivation, but also a grateful heart. From being grateful for our bodies, to our encounters, from being grateful to our parents, to loving our country. The wisdom of the ancients is our root and our nourishment.
