<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > miss the centenarian grandfather Huai Xuan's ancestor Zhou Yuanyuan</h1>
(1) Re-acquaint yourself with the words of your grandfather
Nine years ago, by chance, at the centennial birthday banquet of Teacher Du Daoshengtai, I met Teacher Zhang Kening from Beijing. Due to the transformation of ear gland cancer into lung cancer, through the introduction of teacher Yu Sifei, he made a special trip to Mianzhu, Sichuan To find Grandpa Zhou Yuanxing to see a doctor. He was the deputy director of the Special Fund Management Office for Sinology Education of the Ministry of Education. Unexpectedly, the old Chinese medicine doctor of Mianzhu that he admired in his mouth was a cousin grandfather of our family. Lost contact for decades, now because of the fate of Mr. Zhang Kening in Beijing and Mr. Zhong Xiaomeng who came to Tianjin to treat his illness, he once again met his grandfather in his hometown.
Grandpa's home is diagonally opposite the old bus station at the north gate of Mianzhu, on the side of the room is a gas station, behind the room is Nanxuan Middle School, commemorating the famous Song Dynasty lily family Zhang Nanxuan's Nanxuan Ancestral Hall is still in the middle school. When I was a child, my father took me to the small bungalow when I went to my relatives, which had long been destroyed in the earthquake in 2008, and the newly built two-story small building was built by my grandfather who lived in Wuhan for three years to practice medicine. The first floor is made of paved rooms facing the street, and the second floor is home, with two bedrooms and a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Grandpa had two sons and two daughters, and the youngest daughter died in the earthquake. His wife died of illness when his grandfather was in his thirties. The eldest son, Zhou Yuxin, the daughter-in-law Chen Guiying work and live in Chengdu, the younger son Zhou Yucheng, the daughter-in-law Huang Mingqiong and the grandfather live together outside the north gate of Mianzhu, linnanxuan middle school home. Yucheng's younger son Hou Kai has a daughter named Zhou Leqin, who is the great-granddaughter of his grandfather, and the grandchildren are in the same house, around the knees, not leaving the daily life. Re-acquaintance with Grandpa is ninety-six years old (2011 years), can still take the pulse to see the doctor, clear thinking, articulate, self-care, go up and down the second floor alone. But the ears and eyes are not very good, you need to talk with your ears together, the small words are not clear, and the big words are OK.
The first time I saw my grandfather, I was suspicious of being an old man, and when I asked it, it was true, which surprised Teacher Zhang Kening, who led the way. The chat suddenly became more cordial, holding Grandpa's soft and warm hand, and the conversation box was opened. Grandpa knew more about our family than my father, and the first time we met, he said the names of our three nieces and granddaughters: Yang Bingshu, Yang Bingbi, and Yang Bingju. I also said the names of my father's brother and five sisters: my father Yang Tongming, my father Yang Tongli, my eldest widow Yang Tongyu, my second widow Yang Tongjing, my third widow Yang Tongcheng, my fourth widow Yang Tongya, my fifth widow Yang Tongju, and the last daughter, Yang Tongju, also mentioned kisses to my cousin's younger son Yucheng.
Grandpa's life was bumpy, indifferent to the world, living in a dark alley, hanging pots in the world, almost no personal information about Grandpa can be found on the Internet, except for a little reminiscence of the disciples at the time of his death, you can know a little bit from today's headlines. Grandpa was born on the 15th day of July of the 4th year of the Republic of China (August 25, 1915), and according to the daughter-in-law, her actual age may be one or two years older than the Arabic numerals on her IDENTITY. Grandpa's surname is Zhou, and his name is Yuanyuan Yuan, also known as Xuanzi, and the world calls him Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa's ancestors can also be regarded as Shuxiang Mendi, and grandfather Zhou Huaijun was a former Qing Xiucai who mastered the study of the four parts. He studied under Mr. Deng Jinzhai, a famous doctor in Jiangjin, and once treated Liu Xiang. His father, Zhou Jide, used to run the Daqu Burning Factory and bought a lot of land. Later, grandpa of the Cultural Revolution was paraded in the streets with top hats, criticized for fighting, and farming, all because of the landlord's family composition. In the twenty-first year of the Republic of China (1932), the twenty-seven-year-old grandfather was admitted to the Mianzhu County Chinese Literature College, which is equivalent to the Chinese Department of today's university, and has been familiar with the subset of the history of the classics for three years. Since childhood, he studied medicine with his grandfather, and also studied meditation with his grandmother, the grandmother of the Huaixuanmen, and Yao Tianming, a master of acupuncture, with the main purpose of practicing internal skills, practicing qi, and practicing finger power.
Then Grandpa entered Huaixuan, practiced sacred learning, and mastered Li Zengfu, this Mr. Zengfu, Master Li Dianhou, Master Li Songshan, and passed on the Way of Tang as much as possible, to the cousin Grandfather's Outer Confucian Inner Dao's Huaixuan Sacred Learning Four Transmissions (one saying five transmissions).

Liu Yuan, the founder of the Huaixuan School, was a famous scholar in Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, born in 1767, known as chuanxi fuzi during the Qing Dynasty Dao and Xian years, and was one of the few scholars in history who was worshipped as the master of the religion, and his book "The Complete Book of Huaixuan" was based on the spirit of Confucianism. If you integrate into Confucianism, you will be able to understand Zen Buddha, and you will have a great spirit. Huai Xuan's scientific name shocked one side. Liu Zhitang was also the teacher of the famous doctor Zheng Qin'an, and was revered by later generations as the ancestor of the fire god. Last year, when I was sick, I asked for medical treatment, and I was at the teacher Lu Chonghan, a descendant of the Fire God Sect in Shuzhong. Before Liu Fuzi was thirty years old, he sought to make a meritorious name, tried three times to land, met the old man of Yeyun for eight years, and became famous for his learning after middle age. A disciple who lives in seclusion in Chengdu and is a master of a generation of masters. He has written more than 100 books, once annotated by the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism, and Mr. Tang was born childless, but between the ages of 59 and 80, he had eight sons in a row, all of whom were successful in their studies, and his grandson Liu Xianjiao wrote the "Ten Books of Tui" and passed down to the world. The Qingguo History Museum's "Biography of Liu Yuan" has a record: "Xianfeng died in the fifth year (1855), eighty years old, Yuan was born childless, and eight men were raised in the sixties, all of whom could fax learning, and his grandson Liu Xianjue, zi Jianquan, was especially able to pass on his learning." "Grandpa is the fourth disciple of Huai Xuan, the true lineage of Tang Neidan, and the three families of Confucianism and Taoism, and is the representative of the disciples of the northern branch of Huai Xuan.
In 1959, Grandpa retired to the Mianzhu Southwest Commune Health Center, which is today's Mianzhu People's Hospital. My great-uncle Wang Shunchang, who died at the age of eighty-four, was a colleague and was ridiculed as a "sleepy bug." In the last eight years of my acquaintance with my grandfather, closing his eyes and recuperating was the norm of his life, and his grandfather squinted when he recited the classics. He retired soon after, and for more than forty years of his life, he sat at home and advocated three points of kung fu: meditation, reading, and doing things. Mr. Shoudian Hou's teachings are not violated. At the age of ninety-two, he was blind in both eyes, and at the age of ninety-six, he realized that he had returned to the innate realm, and I recognized my grandfather again at the age of ninety-six. Grandpa often recites the poems of the old man and listens to people: "The cycle of life and death is like a wheel, it is difficult to jump through and become true, the boundless sea of suffering who comes to cross, quickly get on the Cizhou Mo and others."
Before the New Year's Day in 2018, Mao Ping and I drove to Mianzhu to visit my grandfather. The grandfather of the old dragon bell thinks very clearly, and as usual, he asks his grandson HouKai to pour tea for the guests and send guests for the grandfather. Still sniffing at a tube of leaf smoke, squinting his eyes to answer. A month later, I received a phone call from Hou Kai that my grandfather had passed away on the afternoon of January 16, 2018 (the 30th day of the 30th winter month of ding you), and his life expectancy was 104 years old. Life is born and died, and wisdom life is endless. Grandpa safely foresaw the arrival of the time limit, explained the aftermath from Jane, do not disturb the world, when he was born, he was at ease, he died without illness, and he appeared in the face of the top of the fire, which showed that he had graduated from the cultivation of kung fu. In the seventeenth article in the series "Looking Up at the Mountains in the Depths of the Years", Mr. Li Li wrote about an eighty-six-year-old Mr. Li Zishen who was an eighty-six-year-old descendant of the Vimal Jingshe. Before his death, he made a special trip to Mianzhu, Sichuan Province, to ask Mr. Zhou Yuanyuan, a 100-year-old Chinese medicine doctor, to see a doctor. Mr. Zhou said that Mr. Li Zishen's life expectancy was exhausted, and there was no need to take medicine, and he did not expect to be really spoken by Mr. Zhou. It is also written that Mr. Li (Teacher Li Li) also visited Mianzhu in 2006, when grandpa Zhou Yuanxing, who was ninety-two years old at the time, lived in a small slit house between two shops on the street outside the north gate of Mianzhu Cheng, and lived a life of "eating and drinking, people are overwhelmed, and they will not change their happiness". He was once a disciple of Mr. Lin Shanhong, one of the five old and seven sages of Chengdu in the late Qing Dynasty. In his later years, he was in a very simple and narrow hut, doing three things every day: practicing medicine, reading, and meditating, a style of high people hidden in the city. Later, Uncle Wang rumored that the teacher, the famous doctor Liu Lihong and his wife had visited grandpa.
In 2006, Mr. Li Li visited the 92-year-old Zhou Yuanxing
In the second year (November 2007) when Mr. Li Li visited his grandfather, his grandfather asked Yu Sifei to live in Wuhan, and this walk was three years (returned to Sichuan in October 2011), escaping the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008 (in October 2016, he lived in Wuhan and returned home in March). Later, people speculated whether the old man had already calculated this disaster. Decades have not left their hometown, but took the initiative to go to Wuhan, in Wuchang District, Sima Road Junction Dafang School nearby, these three years of Life in Wuhan, Grandpa's profound medical skills, the reputation of treating various difficult and complicated diseases, widely spread here, an ordinary old man in his hometown is praised in other places, sister Yu Sifei is a disciple of Mr. Nan Huaijin, founded the Wuhan Dafang Academy, once served as the principal. Because of the treatment of illness, he knew his grandfather and worshiped him as a teacher. The living immortal among the old people of Nan Huaijin is old lady Zhou of Mianzhu. At that time, teacher Xing Youhong of Nanjing Maoshan Academy was the guide of Nanlao, who went to Mianzhu to pay homage to his grandfather. I was surprised to see that Grandpa's appearance was so similar to the statue of Lao Tzu at Nanjing Academy. Many of the highly educated patients around Grandpa later became Grandpa's students. Every year, the disciples meet from all over the country to visit Grandpa. In the second year of my grandfather's first acquaintance with me, he told me to get to know his eldest disciple, Yu Sifei, and learn more from her. At the age of twenty-nine, she obtained a doctorate in mathematics in France and was hired as an associate professor at Wuhan University. Founded the Dafang School, which now has 2,000 students. This is also a school specially approved by the Ministry of Education that does not use the national unified teaching materials and teaching mode. In 2007, when I climbed The Wudang Mountains, I visited Dafang School.

Because of the conversation with my grandfather and the family routine, I actually knew many old things that our Yang family ancestors did not even know about my father. Grandpa used to say that when he was young, he liked to go to his aunt's house the most. Living in Deyang West Street, three in and three out of the courtyard, at the entrance of each courtyard, there are golden shining large character plaque couplets, and at the end of the backyard is a large forest, especially bamboo growing black and pressed. The eldest uncle in my grandfather's mouth is surnamed Liu, nameless, called Yang Liu after marriage, is my father's mother-in-law, and there is a close-fitting and dumb aunt around the elderly. Yang Liu was the daughter of Liu Sizhi, a famous local reader in Deyang during the Republic of China, and was considered a scholar. Asked if there were people who knew calligraphy and painting in his ancestors, grandpa shook his head, it seems that my painting talent does not come from the family. And Yang Liu's husband, Yang Daoqian, is my cousin's uncle, which is also the grandfather of my father Yang Tongli. It is said that the eldest uncle also has two brothers, and another sister named Yang Daozhen, who is married to Zhou Jide of Mianzhu, is the cousin's parents. And my grandfather Yang Hongsong, Mr. Changyan, is my father's father, married his wife surnamed Zhang, known as Zhang Yangshi, my grandfather had nine children, and his second son died prematurely. There are five daughters and two sons, and my father is the youngest. Yang Hongsong has a big brother named Yang Hongde (with children Yang Tongling, Yang Tongwen, Yang Tonghui), and a cousin Yang Hongji (with children Yang Tonglan), I have never met my own grandfather Yang Hongsong. My mother-in-law passed away when I was one year old, and I did not leave any memories in my childhood, but I heard my fathers say that my mother-in-law had not read a book, and she was also a bridesmaid, running housework, with white skin and small feet. During the Cultural Revolution, because the landlords were criticized for fighting with their grandfathers, the land property was confiscated, and most of the family's property was confiscated, and they rushed to the firewood house next to the pigsty to stay at home. Grandpa died of edema. Father's father and mother-in-law both had a field property of 200 to 300 acres, which were confiscated during the Cultural Revolution. My grandfather opened rice shops, medicine shops, and timber shops in Deyang and Bailong, and his family was well-off and wealthy. There is a row of grandfather's more than a dozen shops opposite the old Bolong Fire Temple, and more than ten acres of land in the current Ma Steel Mill used to be ancestral land. Grandpa bought more than 200 acres of land in Chaoyang Village, Bailong White Temple. According to his father's recollection, grandpa beat dozens of thin coffins every year to give to the poor, and his mother in the township administered medicine and tea together. Once, a new garment that had not been worn was given to the poor man who had just died. With just a few prostrations, you can take a coffin home.
Father's grandfather surname Zhang, is a Wu Zhuangyuan, living in Deyang Qingyun Street low building tea house, father's mother-in-law did not have children, it is said that the father's grandfather peeked at the dojo after marriage, the face is full of boils and died. His son Yang Changyan raised his eldest sister's child. The eldest sister has a son named Ding Zhiming, who is still alive today, more than eighty years old. In 2012, he came to my house as a guest and recited the "Daughter Sutra" to our sisters. My grandfather also has a cousin of the Lin family, who is a brother and sister with Yang Changyan, married to a family surnamed Lin who makes wine outside the West Gate of Deyang, and when I was in elementary school, I went to visit this aunt with my second widow, Yang Tongjing. The figure of the ancestors has gone away from us, and some sporadic fragments have been known in the mouth of my cousin. On the door of my study hung a triangular piece of cross-stitch, the crane pattern, blue thread, white background, stitches were very fine and neat, and the white cloth had turned yellow, which was the only keepsake left by my mother-in-law.

When I was in junior high school, my mother told me that this piece of cloth was embroidered by your mother-in-law, so I took it out of the bamboo dustpan and kept it with me for more than thirty years. In his memory, he also participated in The Qingming Meeting with his father twice. Maybe it makes me smell some of my ancestors. At the beginning of that year, I also memorized the order song that my father told the twenty generations of the Yang family:"Use the please Guo Si Xiu, forever Dao Hongtong, Bingsheng Jia Xingdian, Prosperous Like Sheng Zhilong." This big family used to have a party before my father was 75 years old, and only on such occasions did nearly a hundred people in the family take a look at each other, and my mother always complained that my father had spent money and eaten. But I was very grateful to my father for bringing together a large number of busy family members in this way. Huang Xu's grandfather Yang Hua (Yang Hongshuang) once proposed to build the Yang Ancestral Hall in Bailong, but in the end he was not enough to leave it. I think that as long as there is a life in this family that can make the world beautiful because of him, this ancestral hall is there, and the incense will not be extinguished for thousands of generations.
(2) Talk about learning with your cousin
The first few meetings with grandpa, the old man avoided talking to me about academic matters. The number of times is more, and occasionally I talk about something academic. Every time I snuggled up next to my grandfather, I felt very warm, and I could only shout loudly in my ear. Grandpa talked to me many times about the old affairs of Deyang; talked about the dragon on the stone carved bridge at the North Gate; the spring water through the eighteen weirs of the city; the filial piety arch on the north street; and the double small north gate, and the three filial piety arches in Nanmu Garden; the exquisite arch of the East Gate; the tall bell and drum tower in the center of the old city; the Deyang Confucius Temple that I had not been to for thirty years; the bridge center pavilion of the East Bridge; I often asked about the location of my current home...
On June 20, 2012, I took my ninety-eight-year-old grandfather to my home and cooked it myself, making delicious and fluffy meals. Five people from four generations of grandchildren (the younger son Yucheng, the daughter-in-law Mingqiong, the grandson Hou Kai, and the great-granddaughter Leqin) gathered at the home of the Beiguang Community. For this reason, my sister and I hid from the worried father, as the saying goes, seventy do not stay overnight, eighty do not leave food. We quietly rented a van to take Grandpa to Deyang, and also borrowed a wide backrest from the neighbor's house for Grandpa to sit on, there were only two small chairs in the house, which was not suitable for the big old man. After the meal, Grandpa recited Mr. Li Dianhou's poem again; he talked about the importance of being a scholar, to be aware of it with foresight, to have realized it first and then to realize it; it was mentioned that the five luns are inseparable from the mental nature, the five luns are outside, the mental nature is the inside, the inside and outside are consistent, the inside and outside are both cultivated, and the end is both, then Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are combined, and the three families are originally one. Grandpa's language was mostly literary, and he occasionally spoke one or two vernacular. At this time, although Grandpa's back was hunched over, his eyes were no longer deaf, and his hair was white. But when he was young, he was also handsome and tall, with a full forehead, a high nose and deep eyes, eyes full of energy, and a happy life on his face. After lunch, I accompanied my grandfather to take a car in the old city of Deyang to reminisce about the ancients, and then went to the Temple of Literature. At this time, he was slightly sweating, took off his blue zhongshan coat, openly wore a cardigan shirt, walked to the statue of Confucius, touched the half-meter-high threshold and said: "I am old, my legs can't get in, just worship Confucius outside the threshold!" "Grandpa in front of the futon tightened the buttons, straightened the placket, touched the clothes from the head to the bottom, and began to bow three times and nine prayers, this scene is forever frozen in the depths of my memory." Li Hua, great-granddaughter Leqin also saluted Confucius. Grandpa taught his children and grandchildren by example. Grandpa, who had been tired for a day at night, returned to Mianzhu and knew on the phone that everything was fine when he returned home, and my heart was at ease.
The number of times I met was more, and my grandfather knew that I had the heart to learn, so he occasionally talked to me about Wang Bi, Wang Bo, Liu Yuan, the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra... In my dream, I had seen my cousin who lived in the old mansion of the ancient town and was in charge of the qin, and I had talked about it with my grandfather, and my grandfather admitted that he had learned zhiyin when he was young, and he also liked the Zhongni guqin in my Deyang home.
Around 2016, I had the heart to learn poetry. My own education is too little, the time to be close to grandpa is too late, grandpa often sighs: I am old deaf and blind, to twenty years in the morning, I can teach you well. I wrote down a little of my grandfather's poetry works in small talk, and they have been kept privately to this day. When my grandfather, who was more than eighty years old, once wrote when he climbed Lushan Mountain: "The spring color of the human world leaves the flower path, the pine wind on the ridge flutters with smoke, the Lu food is not a hermit, and the jujube does not participate in the fire and only returns to the field." He once asked about the meaning of the jujube and replied: "After eating this jujube, I do not think about the diet of the world." Another poem is a poem by Climbing Lushan Ridge Fule: "Across the river, the wind and waves are cloudy, and the seventy-two peaks and four walls are hanging." The wonderland has disappeared from the fog, and the true face reflects the sky in the water." This hermit's immortal mountain, the beauty of the flower path, smoke clouds, and peaks and walls in the poem, I have personally climbed and led the collar to feel. Grandpa lived in Wuhan for three years to practice medicine at the age of ninety, and once visited the scenic spots here and wrote some couplets. I have saved four of the old man's memories. Playing the piano: "The birds and wildflowers are still in their hometown, and the river wind and mountains and moon accompany the piano platform." Lianzhong told the story of the Zhongzi period in Hanyang, Hubei Province. Longevity Guan lian: "Long-lived Dao Qi Jiangshan lucky, spring to the earthly grass and tree fragrance." The United Central Committee commemorated the Dao Commander Qiu Chuji. Yellow Crane Tower United One: "The cloud shadow crane finally past the poem title Cui Hao, the building heavy eaves stacked road in the afterlife to look up to Lü Xian." "Lian II" Chibi Huoqintai Music Legend Immortal Crane Liu Qi, Jiangpan Guishan according to the snake cloud out of the heavy building to receive the grand view. I remember talking to my grandfather about the Diamond Sutra one year, and he told me that you should remember eight words: "You should be born without dwelling." ”
I often regret that I am too close to my grandfather with my attendants, and I long to see my grandfather's poetry and articles, and I have not found a word and a half of poetry in my grandfather's life after my grandson. In the hearts of the family, there is more of an old doctor. Teacher Xing of Nanjing Maoshan Academy and Teacher Zhang Kening of Beijing have talked with their nearly 100-year-old grandfather several times, but unfortunately I have no such luck. The only article that can be found in Grandpa's article is "The Beginning and End of Mianzhu's Founding of the Chinese Academy of Literature", which is selected in the Taiwan Academic Literature Database, Mr. Li Yuancheng (1909~1958), and the references of the academic annals are also important literary and historical materials of Mianzhu. But I haven't read the original text.
The only manuscript
The last photo is a visit in the month before his death
Yale University, Harvard University into the Dark Blue Book
Acacia Books
I have only seen one frame of My Grandfather's calligraphy works. Seven or eight years ago, at the Ai Dao Tang Buddhist College in Chengdu, when listening to Teacher Zhou's lectures on the Analects, I was idly visiting the Empty Forest Library of Wenshu Monastery, and there was a set of ten books of the "Complete Book of Huaixuan", and there were four celebrity inscriptions in front of the pages of the first volume. They are Professor Xiao Xiao of Wuhan University, Liu Jun, Director of the Philosophical Research Center of Shandong University, Li Xueqin, Professor of Tsinghua University, and Grandpa Zhou Yuanfeng. On the third page, the inscription is written in a six-line line: expounding the subtlety of the three teachings, dispelling the confusion of the group's speech, leading the way to open the rule of peace, and serving as a ladder for posterity. After the Study of Xia Huaixuan, Zhou Yuanxing Prayed". Teacher Ning Zhiqi also wrote that the old man wrote a link for the book: "The front type and rear method can be used at any time, and reasonable should win the hearts of the people." The editor's attention is enough to show that Grandpa Zhou Yuanxing is recognized as the fourth generation of authentic heirs of the Huaixuanmen people. This time writing an article to remember grandpa, Tuo Xiaohong's wife took a picture page.
Grandpa also recommended to me the "Text Mengqiu", "Wang Bi Yi Jing Notes", and nine books bound in blue leather thread, which were the money my grandfather used to see a doctor, and he carved the traditional vertical version of the Huaixuan series of books on his own woodblock, and told me the second stage of reading these books: "Three Sacred Sentences", "Taishang Induction Chapter Up and Down", "Huaiyin Shiyu", "Huaiyin Kejilu", "Huaiyin Family Training", and then sent me "Xiaxue Ladder Navigation", "Huaixuan Entry Strips", "Huaiyun Quotations". These books were left to Mr. Nan Huaijin, to the libraries of Harvard University and Yale University overseas. Mr. Mingfu, a shuangliu Huaixuan doorman, sent me a receipt from Meng Zhenhua, director of the Chinese department of Yale University Library in 2014, who went to the United States to donate books to the United States, and the director of the Yenching Chinese Library of Harvard University sorted out the photos of Huaixuan's books. Overseas, there are a large number of huaixuan researchers. The German scholar Offock also visited Grandpa Zhou Yuanyuan at his home in Mianzhu.
In addition, grandpa Mianzhu also wrote a link for many scenic spots and monuments such as Mianzhu City God Temple, Baiyun Temple, Yanxian Temple, etc. These precious handwritings go along with five. One or two large earthquakes did not exist. The old man's indifference does not seek to be heard, so that many precious words have not been circulated. Teacher Li Li of Chuanpai College once asked my grandfather to invite my grandfather to the academy when he was 100 years old, even if he said a few words and let the students look up to him, but he was rejected by his grandfather on the grounds that he was a hundred years old.
(3) Kyorin doctor's heart
Four months after my grandfather's death, I was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. At that time, when I was facing the helplessness of life, my grandfather's figure flashed in my mind for the first time. The old man's life will surely cure me, but unfortunately the man has become ancient. From September 2018 to April 2020, I went from chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, asked the doctor Lu Huoshen, and recovered postoperative arm function. In the past two years, I have experienced the impermanence of life and death, the pain of illness, and cherished the life I have earned for the rest of my life. I also lamented that my grandfather had experienced more than a hundred years of vicissitudes in the world, and his life was happy without illness.
In the minds of more people, Grandpa is just an old Chinese medicine doctor, sitting on the first floor staircase of his hometown for many years, an old rattan chair, a three-drawer and a small cabinet, a writing desk painted with laterite paint, a cloth bag with a wrist pad, a pen, and a few prescription signatures, which are all the belongings of the practice of medicine. When I met my grandfather, it was two O one year, and until I died in January 2018, in these eight years, I saw my grandson copying the square, and my grandfather felt the pulse and sat in the clinic. At the small staircase, on the wall opposite the writing desk, hangs a calligraphy banner: "Confucianism, Taoism, medicine and harmony, centuries of rare generations." The specimen has the Fa Ji Ren Technique, and Qiao Song Jin Jian Ren is in the same period. This poem was written by Teng Yaolin, a retired eighty-year-old vice principal of Mianzhu Middle School, as a gift to his grandfather. Before his death, my grandfather participated in many activities of the Cultural and Historical Committee of the CPPCC County Committee. Mianzhu City can be regarded as a famous historical and cultural city, there are Song theorist Zhang Nanxuan, Song Zai Chancellor Zhang Jun, Yang Rui of the Six Gentlemen of Qing shu shu, Yang Cong (Yang Rui's brother) who founded Ziyan Academy, Neng Hai, a senior monk of the Republic of China, Tang Mi Guifeng Zen Master Tomb, Li Guangxuo (author of Luohan Hall of Yunnan Xiaozhu Temple), Mianzhu New Year Painting, one of the four major Chinese New Year paintings, and Jiannanchun Tang Dynasty Millennium Old Cellar...
For the Mianzhu people, Grandpa's back is a poor old farmer with a cloak on his back. Over the decades, he has cured all kinds of incurable diseases, including some cancer patients, and some patients have become his disciples, most of whom are highly educated people, such as disciples Yu Sifei in Wuhan, Lai Heping in Pixian County, Zhang Kening in Beijing, and Xing Youhong in Nanjing.
Grandpa knew divination and prediction, otherwise he would not have gone to Wuhan in advance when the Mianzhu earthquake occurred. He also urged Hou Kai, who had gone to Nepal, to return to China, and only later did people return to God. It turned out that he hoped that his grandson would avoid the earthquake in Nepal. Grandpa explained the word karma to the seriously ill. He is well aware of the medical division of medical doctors, benevolent doctors, and medical chinese medicine, and there are physical diseases, heart diseases, and pathological diseases. Some diseases are not curable, some are incurable, and he once refused a seriously ill patient introduced by his sister.
Grandpa collected three yuan for treatment before the age of ninety, five yuan after the age of ninety, and ten yuan after the age of 100, but most patients in other places voluntarily paid a consultation fee of one hundred yuan. Grandpa was very slow to see a doctor, and the consultation was very careful: illness, diet, living, intercourse, falling fetus...
At the door of Mianzhu's home, he sat in the clinic for a hundred years old
After copying the prescription, you need to read it aloud for the grandfather on the back of the ear to determine the prescription. Next to this humble writing desk, Mr. Liu Lihong, the dean of Guangxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, once served. After listening to the lecture, after copying the prescription here for a week, Grandpa had also treated the disease with his wife. Seriously ill patients in other places generally rent Mianzhu, and Grandpa will arrange for the patient's soup medicine, food supplements, toning methods, and cultivation of virtue and release. Many cancer patients, Grandpa will use musk, a valuable medicinal herb. As far as possible, there is no need to use bloody animals into medicine. In winter, I always like to shake Grandpa's warm and soft hand when I meet. He often shook his head and sighed: Your body temperature is not enough!
There is also a famous mianyang doctor Wang Xiaochen in our family, who is relative and friend of Grandpa Zhou Yuan. Grandpa had bought his books from Wang Xiaochen's son. This Mr. Wang Xiaochen is the father of my great uncle, married to the daughter of the Guangdong Overseer, happy calligraphy and painting, seal carving, literature and history. There is now a copy of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic in the first year of Xuantong's reign in my home, which is the wang family's posthumous collection. I remember that I asked for a set of ancient books of the Republic of China edition of the Sweeping Leaf Mountain House from the Wang family, and gave it to Mr. Li Li, whom I had just met, in 2003. Wang Xiaochen's family has passed down three generations of Bogu small medical rack, and now it is placed on my painting case, which has become the only antique furniture in my family. Listening to my father, Wang Xiaochen's family had many books in the collection, which were later transferred to his cousin, but they were stolen during the earthquake in 2008. Grandpa was a book lover and once said that he would only read books in traditional Chinese vertical typesetting. Once my grandfather talked to me about his favorite literary scholar Wang Bo, and with great interest he recited the full text of the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" and asked me to re-buy a set of Wang Bo's anthology, but because Confucius's old books were asking for eight thousand yuan a set, it was too expensive and gave up.
I also always think about how people can live as long as grandpa. My cousin, who cooked Grandpa's life, told me that Grandpa was never picky eaters, cooked what he ate, just didn't eat cold things. Living along the way, I have never had a denture. From eating soft food in their nineties to eating liquid food after the age of 100. Good temper and rarely swears. My cousin told me that after eating the last meal before leaving, my daughter-in-law put the bowl down, and my son took the wiping paper, only to hear a hiccup, and then sat down. In my father's eyes, the old man was an old and good man, and everything in the family was decided by his wife, and the old man had never been to the hospital in his life.
Throughout his life, Grandpa followed the teacher's teachings, cultivated his inner nature, cultivated his external morality, and went to school. Seventy years old, Grandpa is the only centenarian in our family, and he is also a hardcore disciple of the Huaixuan Doctrine. Throughout his life, he experienced the criticism of the Cultural Revolution, the pain of his relatives who lost their wives and daughters, escaped the earthquake of 2008, died without illness, and left in infinite peace, and walked through the human world for one hundred and four years. An old man is a living history book, a library with rich connotations of life. Save, I go along; no, I'm not going to do it. When Master Koichi passed away, he wrote down his joy in the world: the flowers and branches were full of spring, and the heavenly heart was full of moon. When life has a thickness, no matter how long or short, it can live in the minds of future generations and live in the heavens and the earth.
(4) Leaving the dust and returning to the dust
Grandpa was born on the 15th day of the 15th month of the 4th year of the Republic of China (August 25, 1915 AD), sat peacefully on the 30th day of the winter month of the Republic of China (6:30 p.m. on January 16, 2018 AD), the age of 104, the seventh day of the first month of the Republic of Ding Unitary Year (January 23, 2018 AD, 14:30 p.m. held a ceremony), after his sitting on the seventh day, I attended my grandfather's farewell memorial service at Baoguang Temple, flowers and bandages accompanied the cross-legged body. In the midst of the fire, I folded my palms in front of the incarnation kiln and watched
The human form that gradually faded in the furnace eventually became a handful of ashes. Everything in life is not brought by life, and death is not brought away. What is it like to enter nirvana! The fire of life of a hundred years has been extinguished, but the nostalgia of more than a hundred people at the memorial service is still there. Liu Bogu, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty on the incarnation kiln, wrote a horizontal commentary: "Look up to the ancestors and nurture the descendants". On the side of the kiln, there is a joint saying written by the disciples: "Subliminal meditation and meditation accumulate merit and do everything in harmony with the heavens to understand the purpose of the present Huaixuan, self-denial and retribution, benevolence, and magic to save the world and promote the spirit of the sages." Disciple Zhao Qing wrote: "The popularity of the doctor and the return of the first life, the return of the heart of the longevity for a hundred years." Teacher Ning Zhiqi, former director of the Mianzhu Cultural Management Institute, wrote a joint (Xueqing inscription book): "A spirit is in the heavens and the earth, and the ten thousand laws are immortal, and the soul is eternal." Life is born and died, and wisdom life is endless. Grandpa knows the rich run house and the moral body, he chose the latter, and he chose the house of Ji Shan.
He was ridiculed by his colleagues as a sleepy worm, called an old and good man by his relatives, recognized by Xiangzi as an old Chinese medicine doctor, called a living immortal by Nan Huaijin, called a master of xinglin by patients, praised by his disciples as a Zhongxing descendant of Huaixuan, and the only old man in the family who lived a hundred years and was knowledgeable. Eight years later, the bits and pieces of getting along with my grandfather have become a string of good memories.
(5) Ze is loved by the hearts of the people of the world
In the past three months, Mr. Li Li, the head of the beloved Chuanpai College, has written seventeen dear and respectable old people in his life. Reading a series of manuscripts in the depths of the years and looking up at the mountains makes people feel the cuteness of life and the vividness of culture. In the seventeenth article, "The Eighty-Six-Year-Old Man Li Zishen of the Yanting Weimo Jingshe Lineage", Mr. Li Li mentioned a centenarian, Mr. Zhou Yuanxing, a Mianzhu Chinese medicine doctor, with very little brushstrokes, and attached a group photo of me visiting Elder Zhou with great kindness. The old man in the photo is my cousin. During the years of my grandfather's life and the days when my grandfather died, I had planned to write something, but I never wrote it. Now this karma has hit my heart, the first fate is the centenary birthday of Taishi Du Daosheng, and the reason for writing is Mr. Li Li's seventeenth manuscript. Mr. Li Li was fortunate to meet a string of elderly people with high life, and his teachers and friends made people nostalgic and envious. And this is the only centenarian in my life who has been close to me, and today I have to use a plain pen and a simple heart to write something for the distant back of the clan? For my family, but also for the children of the future generations, leave a message of the ancestors. May more children and daughters be cautious and eventually go to the old people around them, because they have recorded too much knowledge, learning, virtue, and experience in the world in their lives...
In the series of manuscripts on the mountain in the depths of the years, Mr. Li Li recorded seventeen amiable and respectable old people. From relatives to the campus of Peking University; from the red dust of the downtown area to the ancient temple of the deep mountains; from the hilly mountains to the university lecture hall..., from the chance encounter, let a good gu minqiu heart break through the age gap, all because of a high-lived learned old man, most of them are around 100 years old, and the youngest is at least over eighty years old.
Teacher Li Li, who believed in the ancients, met Grandpa He Shisen when he was a teenager and had the enlightenment of analects learning; interacted with Grandpa Zhou Rusen, who was deeply educated, laying the foundation for old learning; because he met his brother Li Chichang in his hometown, he had more discussion and pondering between the poetry and literature, and his love for new literature benefited from the ninety-year-old Man Yin Conghua. He visited Western Shu and improved his education in literature and history, and was taught by Mr. Liu Zhiwei.
In his youth, he went in and out of the red dust and became acquainted with the ninety-year-old monks Hong Chan, Zhu Xia, Wei Xian, Ren Xue, and the hundred-year-old monk. The peace and tranquility of the morning bell and the twilight drum warmed the heart that was not deeply involved in the world, the seventy-year-old nun cut the nails of the eighty-year-old, and the eighty-year-old washed the face of the ninety-year-old, what a warm picture of life.
Mr. Li Li, who dropped out of junior high school, traveled alone to the end of the world, visited the former residence of Shen Congwen in Jiangnan, visited Mr. Ji Xianlin of Peking University, the philosopher Zhang Dainian and his wife, the historical geographer Hou Renzhi and his wife, the poet Mr. Lin Geng, and the daughter of Feng Youlan Zongpu. Working in Shuzhong, he was fortunate to meet mr. Yang Mingzhao, a ninety-five-year-old longxue taidou, an old man of he Jiayin, a ninety-year-old immortal, and Mr. Li Zishen, an old man of Yanting.
I am fortunate to be a paid student, all the way through, all the learning has become the driving force to transform the crisis of life, the world is full of all kinds of love, but also to love the suffering of life. If it can't go over, it's a disaster; if it does, it's wealth. All things are small things in the face of life and death. The big the heart, the smaller the matter. I have missed the study life of Tianrenxuan and Meixiang Lake, but I have not missed the study of the Three Sacred Townships and longju Temple. In the past few years, Mr. Li Li has spoken about the ten old gentlemen of the Republic of China in the Chuanxin Hall, the history of China, the history of philosophy, and the history of literature, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Thirteen Classics, and the story of the Chuanxin Zoo. In the study, accompanied by more than 200 kinds of animals and 300 kinds of plants in the garden, they can tower in the heavens and the earth, protect the life and nourish the heart, and can be passed on in the study of the classics of history.
Mr. Li Li and the seventeen old people who asked for the study, the cherishing of half a life, and the many old gentlemen who are about to come out of the article, piled up the salaries of the salaried students, so that the students wandered in the middle, low back and forth, let the Way be corrected, and the feelings were deeper. All this will be a trickle of learning, no matter the depth of qualifications, peace of mind, through the storm, open the book is beneficial, enjoy learning in it. It is also a wish for the future to live together, learn together, and practice together in the future salary nursing home. Close to the living, His Holiness, good at taking the nourishment of life, knowledge is written in the words of books, but the realm of learning is passed on to living people. People can spread the Tao, but not the Tao. Outside the home, deep in the years, looking up at the mountains.
(From the centennial birthday feast of Teacher Du Daosheng and the recovery of my illness)
The belly draft in front of the desk was half a month, and it took seven days to write, and finally this draft was completed. This is the longest article I have written so far, and I can't help but sigh: "The branches and leaves before the penwriting case are green, and the half-month tired writing is wasted." Trace the ancestors to remember the past events, leaving the children and grandchildren to look up to the sages. "Grateful for the photo information provided by Sister Sifei, Little Red Master Niang, Mr. Mingfu, Cousin Tianqin, Cousin Zuo Jun, Thanksgiving to Sister Wei to help me print and typeset." In front of the window after the summer rain, the birds in front of the branches are singing happily! (10601 words)
