Since the last time he returned from Zhongnan Mountain to pay homage to the statue of Lao Tzu, in his free time, Ye Chao learned that Lao Tzu's disciples are all some big names in history. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, these people: Guan Yinzi, Wenzi, Confucius, Guiguzi.

First of all, Guan Yinzi.

Guan Yinzi, one of the ten great men in the pre-Qin world, is an important Taoist school of the pre-Qin Zhuzi, the patriarch of the Taoist Louguan school, and the patriarch of the Wenshi school.

It was once a Guan Ling, at the same time as Taishang Laojun (that is, Laozi). Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" has 5,000 words, which was written at his request. Guan Yinzi's Guiqing thought had an important influence on the formation of the concept of the Chinese Qing Dynasty.

The so-called "Wenshi" means the beginning of civilization.

Because he accepted the teachings of Lao Tzu, he developed wisdom, cultivated the Dao, and attained attainment, which is the highest state of human civilization. This sutra is divided into nine chapters, expounding the laws of the universe and nature, with the central idea of cultivating nature, and experiencing the truth in nothingness.

Guan Yinzi uses a unique perspective to show the vast and boundless world of "Tao" in front of the world. His writings are profound and beautiful, and the artistic conception is far-reaching and timeless, from doing things and reading to dealing with people, from daily life to ideological cultivation, and engaging in reason to reason, which greatly embodies the connotation of "Tao".

There are many aphorisms in the book, such as 'Don't take small things lightly, small gaps Shen Zhou; Don't light small things, small insects poison the body; Don't take the villain lightly, the villain thieves and the country' and so on, are the long-term experience and wisdom accumulation of the ancient ancestors.

For those in power, businessmen are undoubtedly a constant wake-up call. The ancient hermits highly respected Guan Yinzi, and said that the Taoist collection of thousands of volumes, and the most subtle "Guan Yinzi" book is also.

Guan Yin Zishan astronomy secret latitude, looking up and looking down, it is clear.

He does not practice vulgar etiquette, but hides virtue and benevolence. Later, because of the landscape and water, in Yongzhou Zhongnan Mountain, Zhouzhi County, the god went to the township to hear the fairy grass for the building, and thought about the road.

Because of its building stargazing atmosphere, it is called its house for the building view. When King Zhou heard this, he worshiped as a doctor. Later, he was re-recruited as a guest friend of the East Palace.

Legend has it that Lao Tzu rode a green ox to travel the world, preaching Taoist doctrines through the country and helping the world, and enlightening the Western Regions. Yin Xi, who was the commander of Hangu Pass at the time, knew that Lao Tzu was very knowledgeable and had great wisdom in his heart, so he told his subordinates to be people with physical appearance and not to let him pass.

He's going to stop Lao Tzu.

At the same time, he also sent people to sweep the roads and burn incense to wait for the arrival of the saints.

Lao Tzu went to Hangu Pass, the guards unceremoniously stopped, Yin Xi was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally came to welcome him to his home, made a big gift to his disciples, and bowed again and again, please Lao Tzu stay.

It is said that the official lord used such a grand ceremony to ask Lao Tzu to stay, and he should stay to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty.

But Lao Tzu refused, and then Yin Xi resigned from the government under the pretext of illness, and traveled west with Lao Tzu, passing through Guanzhong, crossing the Qinling Mountains, and suffering a lot along Weishui, and went to his hometown of Boyang, Qinzhou.

Lao Tzu and Yin Xi built a nunnery on Boyang Longshan to preach, and they lived for many years.

Lao Tzu wrote books day and night, practiced and practiced, and often told Yin Xi about his writings and thoughts. In order to spread his doctrine widely, Lao Tzu gave his "Tao Te Ching" to Yin Xi, and traveled west alone, not knowing where to go.

Lao Tzu is really "hide and seek", ah no, it is the old ancestor who played missing.

Yin Xi remembered the master's teachings, devoutly studied the "Tao Te Ching" 5,000 words, can understand its mysteries, explain its metaphysics, and self-authored nine Jane, the name is "Guan Yinzi" (that is, Yin Zhen humanities first nine chapters), both profound, and vast, deeply admired by the literati of the past dynasties, Guan Yinzi's Guiqing thought has an important impact on the formation of the concept of the Chinese Qing Dynasty.

This text later became one of the Taoist classics and was included in the "Hundred Sons Quanshu".

The Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian recorded this story in the "Historical Records": Lao Tzu lived in the Zhou capital for a long time to study moral knowledge, and later saw the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, so he left the Zhou capital and arrived at Hangu Pass, Guan Ling Yin Xi said: "You are going to live in seclusion, please write a book for us."

At that time, Lao Tzu wrote a book, divided into two parts, expounding the content of morality, a total of more than 5,000 words. This is the story of Lao Tzu's 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching left by the West through Hangu Pass. Yin Xi was one of the representatives of the Taoist school during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and later, Zhuangzi called him "the ancient Bo Da Zhenren".

Let's talk about another disciple of Lao Tzu, Wenzi.

Wenzi, surnamed Xin, called Jiran, is a Taoist patriarch, and at the same time as Confucius, he is the author of the book "Wenzi" ("Tongxuan Zhenjing"), and Wenzi thought Shangyang. Often traveled in Haize, the more the doctor Fan Li respected as a teacher, gave Fan Li seven strategies, Fan Zuoyue Wang Goujian, with its five and destroy Wu.

Ji Ran, a native of Chun Lun Qiu Pu, surnamed Xin, the word Wenzi.

Earlier, he was an exiled nobleman of the Jin Kingdom. Legend has it that he was erudite and knowledgeable about everything from astronomy and geography. But he looks mediocre and dull on the outside, but he is very studious and well-read since he was a child.

As people often say, a wise man is foolish.

Always observe and learn from nature, and be good at knowing the development law of things and other people's thoughts from the beginning of things.

This is amazing, so Ye Chao has to admire - he has no heart magic, but he can know what others think by being good at observing words and colors.

Because he is upright, loves mountains and rivers, and often travels by boat. and refused to take the initiative to lobby and recommend himself to the princes, so although he was crowned in the world, he was not known to the world.

Therefore, he is called Ji Ran, because he often travels in mountains, seas, lakes and rivers, so he is also known as the fisherman. Once when he traveled south to the country of Yue, he accepted Fan Li as an apprentice. Fan Li once wanted to recommend him to the king of Yue, but he said to Fan Li: The king of Yue is a human being, with a long-necked beak, and can share hardships and hardships, not prosperity and happiness. Fan Li admired him more deeply, respected him more, and humbly learned from him.

Wenzi, I don't know much now, but how great Tao Zhugong Fan Li, who is respected as a teacher, I believe many people know.

Fan Li was a famous politician, military strategist, economist and Taoist scholar in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

He first helped the king of Yue to destroy the state of Wu, only using five of the seven plans of Wenzi, and then he was like an unknown prophet, and he retired successfully, not only saved his life, but also became a celebrity in the rich world several times.

To this day, he is still called the God of Wealth by many businessmen in later generations, and his statue is enshrined in his home.

Of course, more people prefer to call him "Shang Sheng".

He is one of the "Five Saints of Nanyang".

Although he was born poor, he was erudite and talented, and he knew Chu Wanling and had a deep friendship. Because he was dissatisfied with the political darkness of Chu at that time and the fact that non-nobles were not allowed to enter the country, he defected to the Yue State together and assisted the Yue State Goujian.

Legend has it that he helped Gou Jian to rejuvenate the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Wu Kingdom, and he would be ashamed of it.

After becoming famous, he retreated bravely, and his pseudonym was Yizipi, wandering between the seventy-two peaks. After settling in Dingtao, during the three times into a huge fortune, three scattered family wealth, self-named Tao Zhu Gong.

The world is known as: "Loyalty to the country; Wisdom to protect oneself; Business to get rich and become famous all over the world. ”

He is the great-great-grandson of Fan Wuzi, the ancestor of the Fan surname, and is regarded as the ancestor of the Shunyang Fan clan.

Such a great military master and a rich man who was earth-shattering at that time, who could go to the court and enter the account room, was a disciple of Wenzi!

The apprentices are so amazing, so how far can the master go?

Wenzi believed that a person who has attained the Tao can achieve the state of not being influenced by right and wrong, and can transcend all relative things in life, so as to obtain a kind of transcendent freedom.

Fumiko? "Dao Hou" said: "The real person, know the big self and the small world, govern the body and govern the people, do not slip with things, do not mess with desires, hide their names and surnames, hide the way, see if there is no way, do nothing, do nothing, know or not." Huaitian Dao, Bao Tianxin, shh ”

It is also known as: "The right and wrong of the world are uncertain, the world is its good, not its evil, the husband seeks the truth, not the truth, the one who seeks to meet himself, the one who does not go to the evil, the one who goes to the heart, the public and the vulgar choose to live in it, choose the wrong and go to it, and do not know its so-called right and wrong."

Therefore, those who pass through the road are like axles, which are not transported to themselves, but to be lost in thousands of miles, and turn to the infinite original.

Therefore, the saint's body is reversed, and he does not change to wait for transformation, and he does nothing. This is to achieve a state of inaction, to be free from all thoughts of honor and disgrace, to be allowed to live in nature, and to attain the highest path.

In addition, Wenzi states that "there is yin in yang, and yang in yin." And affirming that opposing sides can be transformed, pointing out that "yang energy becomes yin, and yin energy becomes yang." "The way of heaven is the opposite, the profit is lost, the prosperity is the decline, the day is moving, the moon is full, and the happiness is sad."

This seems to be the earliest principle of "the extremes of things must be opposed", and it was more than 2,000 years before there was a theory of physics.

In short, Wenzi was undoubtedly a disciple of Lao Tzu, and he was younger than Confucius at the same time.

Although he studied the theories of various schools, through his own integration, he gave birth to new meanings, but inherited them. The world is known as Wenzi diligent and learning, so the Tao is particularly high, and the death is attributed to Lao Tzu.

Wang Chong once said: "Lao Tzu and Wenzi are like heaven and earth." "I have a lot of respect for him.

Wenzi learned the Tao early, and traveled to study in Chu.

Chuping King Sun Bai Gongsheng once asked him about "Weiyan".

Later, he traveled to the Qi country, and brought the Taoist and benevolent and righteous ideas to the Qi country, Peng Meng, Tian Piao, Shen Dao, Huanyuan, etc. were all learned by him, forming the Huang Laozhi of the Qi country.

Later, Wenzi traveled to Wuyue in the south, and lived in seclusion in Yingyu Mountain in Wuxingyu, not knowing what to do, or Yun Chengxian left.

In the end, Taoist characters like to play missing, and they don't know whether they have become immortals or which mountains they have become in.

However, such a great person, whether he became an immortal or a ghost, I believe that he had already arranged his own future for the prophet.
