Book pick up (Liu Bowen in distress at Zhang Fei Temple)
It is said that Liu Bowen received a dart book in the Zhang Fei Temple, which is a Tibetan head poem, and the divine dragon saw He Yeyun who saw the head and did not see the end.
Agreed to meet at the Ziwei Pavilion the next day.
Liu Jing called back to Zhao Qi and Zhao Ji, and he said:
Ada, I am in the dark of the enemy, the Zhuangyuan Cave is still on the White Pagoda Mountain, the mountain is lined with dangerous roads, sparsely populated, afraid that he has an ambush, can I go to you on your behalf?
Liu Bowen pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said: He Yeyun is also one of my generation, and we have a relationship in Hongdu (present-day Nanchang), and we are also a deceased person, and he will not kill me. Moreover, if I do not go, he will not appear, and when he makes waves again, it will not be an ending, or he will be there for a while.
The next day, Liu Bowen and his party crossed the river and came to the foot of Elephant Mountain, (at this time it was still called Elephant Mountain, and two hundred years later, the Town of Baita was built on the mountain, which was renamed Baita Mountain)
(Langzhong White Pagoda is located in the so-called "world's first Jiangshan" - Langzhong White Pagoda Mountain, built at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a total of thirteen floors, 29 meters high, the outer twelve floors, the inner six floors and the spiral staircase ninety-one steps, for people to climb around the window to overlook, around the Langzhong wind objects.) Only six floors remain after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake)
Langzhong White Tower
First arrived at the Great Buddha Temple, and then along a bluestone trail up the steps, but seeing the green mountains and water, beautiful environment, fresh air, cicadas in the forest, birds singing among the trees, it seems particularly quiet, it is indeed a good place to read.
Liu Bowen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really a quiet reading place, no wonder there are three brothers in a unique place." ”
Langzhong Zhuangyuan Cave, on the Great Elephant Mountain, out of the Great Buddha Temple along the Tiger Creek, there is a naturally generated cave at the top of the mountain, this cave is the Zhuangyuan Cave. It is about ten zhang long, about six zhang deep, the mouth of the cave is more than a zhang, and on a rainy day, there is a mountain spring flowing down from the upper rock to form the Ruilian Pond in front of the cave.
There is a stone bridge on the pool, and there is a pavilion at the head of the bridge.
The back of the cave is surrounded by pine bamboo, facing the lotus pond, and the flying spring hangs a crystal bead water curtain at the entrance of the cave, and the blue water reflects the Quqiao Pavilion.
The bridgehead pavilion is built on the rock, and there is Song Zhenzong on it for its inscription: Ziwei Pavilion.
The top of the cave entrance is also engraved with eight big characters of "Out of the Brothers Yuanxiang Prime Minister", which is still dazzling.
It is nearly noon here, there are not many tourists in the cave, only an old and short old man, in the cave support two firewood stoves, the stove has a clay pot fluttering hot, next to the cloth flag, old and dilapidated, you can faintly see a few lines:
Hot tea, melon seeds, salmon per guest, beef twenty texts
Liu Jing walked closer, took out a handful of copper bills, about thirty or so, and placed them on the old man's wooden table, and bowed down: There is an old man Lao, give us a cup of hot tea.
The old man did not speak, nodded, and laid out four tea cups, a pot of hot water, a teapot, two plates, a plate of pumpkin seeds, and a plate of beef jerky.
While drinking tea, the four of them casually looked at the tourists, as if waiting for He Yeyun to suddenly appear.
Liu Bowen picked up a piece of beef jerky in his mouth and chewed it carefully, only to see that the beef jerky was not hard, moist but not soft, ruddy and bright, delicious, salty and suitable, with a long aftertaste, which can be described as good color, aroma and taste.
He suddenly noticed the plate of beef jerky in front of him and said to Liu Jing: Come and taste Zhang Fei beef, one of the four best in Langzhong, it is really different.
Liu Jing tasted a piece, and sure enough, it had a different flavor, and he asked: Four absolutes? What are the other three?
Liu Bowen said: There are four strange things in Langzhong diet: cold noodles are sold hot (Langzhong beef noodles), steamed buns are stamped (sugar steamed buns), vinegar is sold as a drink (Boryeong vinegar), and beef lavender is sold (Zhang Fei beef).
Soon a plate of beef jerky was almost finished, the old man put on another plate, and Liu Jing added another handful of copper bills.
Liu Bowen said: Langzhong Renjie, during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was an astrological figure (that is, an astronomer) who fell hong.
Liu Jing: Falling Hong? Such a strange name?
Liu Bowen: Falling is a compound surname. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the suggestions of Sima Qian and others in Taishi Ling, and issued an edict to extensively recruit folk astronomers and reform the calendar.
On the recommendation of his fellow villager Jiaolong, he trekked thousands of miles through mountains and rivers to chang'an, the capital city, and took part in the work of changing the calendar.
As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he was busy fixing things, erecting a dial instrument, and making a leaky moment to observe the twenty-eight stars, and put forward his own calendar change plan in the four directions of space.
Liu Jing: What was the calendar before the Han Dynasty?
Liu Bowen: Before the Western Han Dynasty, there were six ancient calendars used in China, namely the Yellow Emperor Calendar, the HuangDi Calendar, the Xia Calendar, the Yin Calendar, the Zhou Calendar, and the Lu Calendar.
Tang Dynasty Lu Zhaolin's "Zhonghe Le Nine Chapters , Goden Feng No. 1" has: "Yanguo Funeral Treasure, Yellow Calendar Kairui, Zu Wu Class Emperor, ZongWen With Heaven", this Broad Yellow Calendar is the abbreviation of the Yellow Emperor Calendar, so people are accustomed to calling the almanac the Yellow Calendar.
Liu Jing: I know, look at the old yellow calendar.
Liu Bowen: After the Tang Dynasty, the almanac could only be promulgated after the emperor personally examined and approved it, and only the official printing calendar was allowed to be issued, after which the almanac became the "imperial calendar".
Liu Jing: What is the calendar we are using now?
Liu Bowen: We are now the "Great Yan Calendar" compiled by Tang Shi and his party in the "Taichu Calendar" that fell hong.
Liu Jing: A line of great monks I know, a famous astronomer and Buddhist scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and I have read his books with Shi Gong.
Liu Bowen: His real name was Zhang Sui, a native of Changle, Wei Prefecture (present-day Nanle County, Henan). His great-grandfather was Emperor Taizong of Tang and Li Shimin, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the Duke of Tanguo.
The Zhang family had declined by the time of the Wu Zetian Dynasty. Zhang Sui lived in Guanzhong since childhood, studying assiduously the celestial signs and the theory of the five elements of yin and yang. In his youth, he was known for his profound knowledge in Chang'an.
Later, Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Chengsi wanted to become the crown prince, invited him to be his staff, and in order to get rid of his entanglement, he was ordained as a monk and named a line. He studied Buddhist classics and astronomical mathematics at Mount Song, Mount Tiantai, and Mount Dangyang, and later became the leader of Buddhist tantra.
In the ninth year of the tang dynasty, because the Qin Tianjian Li Chunfeng's "Lin De Calendar" several times predicted that the eclipse was inaccurate, Emperor Xuanzong ordered the great monk and his party to preside over the revision of the new calendar. This is the most important achievement of the line in his life, the Great Yan Calendar.
Although the subsequent dynasties have made many revisions, they are basically based on the "Taichu Calendar" and the "Great Yan Calendar", except for the Yin calendar used in the new dynasty of Wang Mang and the Wei Ming Emperor, and the Zhou calendar was used during the time of Wu Zetian and Tang Suzong, and the summer calendar has been used for more than 2,000 years.
In order to recognize the merits of Falling Hong, Emperor Wu of Han specially awarded him the post of attendant, but Fell Hong insisted on not resigning.
Liu Jing: Is there any difference between this calendar?
Liu Bowen: The taichu calendar adopts Xia Zheng (with yin yue as the first year), which is in line with the agricultural rhythm of spring planting and autumn harvest, summer busy and winter leisure, and for the first time adds twenty-four solar terms, also known as the summer calendar.
The agricultural proverb: "If you have money and no money, go home for the New Year", the Spring Festival is the beginning of the Yin Moon, and the Spring Festival is the Spring Festival (until Yuan Shikai changed the first day of the first lunar month of the Western calendar to the Spring Festival).
If you read ancient books, you must look at the calendar used by the dynasties at that time, otherwise you will not be able to understand it, and even the head of the bull is not right for the horse's mouth.
Only by knowing astronomy from above, knowing geography from below, observing the changes of the sun, moon, and stars, and watching the direction of mountains and rivers can we be regarded as the true meaning of Taoism.
Liu Jing: Langzhong is really full of talents, no wonder Yuan Tiangang li chunfeng is hidden here.
Suddenly he found a paper ball in beef jerky, and without looking closely, he thought that beef jerky, he unfolded it and handed it to his father. Liu Bowen read the words on the note:
If you meet, why set up a volt? Tomorrow afternoon, I will see you in the Heavenly Palace Courtyard, and then there will be a volt, and I will not see you again.
He looked around in astonishment, and sure enough, on the stone bridge, in the shade of the trees, there were three or three or two powerful people, either sitting or standing, and he felt the strength of Zhu Yuanzhang's inspection school (the predecessor of the Jinyi Guard), and he was under their supervision and protection all the way.
And the old, short old man was gone.
He shook his head helplessly, put the ball of paper in his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it.
To be continued.
