Civil science and officials like to study the Tao Te Ching and interpret Lao Tzu's thoughts.
But who is Lao Tzu and when is it?
Not a single one understood.
Except for hugging snow fasting.
Lao Tzu is not a person at all, but a general term for a kind of person.
Lao Tzu, the elder of the Yu clan, is the teacher responsible for teaching the Five Elements doctrine in the school of the Yu clan.
The Youyu people are one of the oldest groups on Earth, with the oldest writing and civilization on Earth.
The characters we Chinese use today are all from the characters that were used by the Yu clan 11,000 years ago.
For example, Lao Tzu's "old" character is a national elder of the Yu clan, wearing a feather on his head and holding a dove cane.
Lao Tzu is the teacher of the Yu family, and they teach the knowledge of the Five Elements civilization, and the five elements are also the characteristics of the Yu civilization. (The Five Elements belong to a civilization that dates back to 10,000 years ago, and some blind fools would think that the Five Elements originated in the Warring States.) ）
Until the Spring and Autumn Period, these teachers were still teaching the same knowledge of the Five Elements.
"Confucius's Family Sayings" records that Confucius once learned the Five Elements Doctrine from Lao Dan:
"Xiqiu also, hearing all the old men, there are five elements in the sky: wood, metal, fire, water, and earth, which are cultivated in time to become all things, and their gods are called the five emperors. The king of the ancients, taking the five elements of the law, changing the name of the five elements to the king, has always been born together, and it is also like its righteousness. Therefore, he was born as the king of Ming, and died with the five elements. ”
There are five emperors in the Five Elements Doctrine, in addition to the Emperor of the Four Directions, there is also the Yellow Emperor of the Middle Palace, the corresponding five elements are earth, and the corresponding number is five.
Central soil. The day is gone. Its emperor Yellow Emperor, its god Houtu. Its insects are naked, its sound palace, and the palace of yellow bells in the law. Its number five. - The Book of Rites. Monthly Order》
Confucius learned and inherited the easy learning and five elements thought of Yu Laozi, and Confucius's grandson Si also wrote a special article "Five Elements", and Xunzi criticized him and clearly said that this is a doctrine inherited from ancient times.
Look at the typical painted pottery human face fish pattern of Yangshao culture, this person who closes his eyes and cultivates is a Lao Tzu of the Yu family, he worships the unspoken teachings of the Yellow Emperor, so there is a five-element "five" character written on his mouth, which is the five characters representing the Yellow Emperor.
Comparing the monks unearthed from the Mohenjo Daro site in Pakistan with their eyes closed, it cannot be said that they are very similar, but can only be said to be exactly the same, because they practice the same Danfa.
Lao Tzu of the Yu clan is famous for his longevity in cultivation, and Zheng Xuan's note "The Book of Rites: Zeng Zi Asks" says:
"Lao Tzu, the name of the longevity examiner."
Peng Zu of the Yu clan is also known for his longevity in cultivation, and it is said that he lived at least 800 years old, and the two are collectively called "Peng Lao".
Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter: Customs":
"If you can cultivate the way of Peng Lao, you can do the same thing with it."
The Yu clan is prevalent in Huang Lao Taoism, so it is a civilization with a very strong religious atmosphere, and the Indus Valley civilization, Sumerian civilization, and ancient Egyptian civilization they founded all have a strong religious atmosphere without exception.
Moreover, these civilizations all have a common belief, that is, reincarnation.
Okay, Auditor, I'm foul again. Stop.
