Chapter 13 Huashan Encounter
Wednesday, 24 July 1991.
At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, after Yu Ming checked out, he set off from Yuquan Temple, followed the established route, enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way of Huashan, and reached the east peak at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
When Yu Ming climbed to the top of the East Peak, he saw a group of people surrounding a Taoist priest, watching attentively. Yu Ming walked over, but saw that it was an old way, and the image of this old way completely subverted Yu Ming's perception that Taoist priests should be 'thin, with crane hair and childish face, and holding the dust', I saw that the old man was thin and thin, a mummy alive, and there were only a few long white hairs on his bare head, if the gray Taoist robe on his body was replaced with a white one, he would be a starving ghost in a horror movie.
Yu Ming saw that the old man held a wolf pen in his right hand on the rice paper, and the font looked like a rectangle standing up from a distance, Yu Ming took a closer look, and saw that the strokes were horizontal and vertical, round and even, the thickness was basically the same, and the space division was balanced and symmetrical, Yu Ming looked at it for a while, and felt that the writing skills of the old Taoist seal were very good, and he should be a calligrapher.
The content written by Lao Tao is a poem with a lyric plate called "Qinyuan Spring":
"The middle peak is towering, the middle of the Han is long, and the west is smoky. The maple leaves are red at the beginning of the year, and the cliffs are crossed. The magpie chirps slightly, and the clouds fly like a stream. Zulong drew his sword, Xuanzong moistened his throat, and talked about the ancient Tao and left his name. Lishan Qi, how many heroes, Huaqing ascended the building. ”
"Huashan Road is dangerous and beautiful, and the narrow path of Jiuxia often makes apes cry. The red leaves are like fire, and there are a few branches in the sky. The northern geese and the southern finches gather sometimes. Every time you climb the peak, you look at the earth and shout that victory is not yourself. Huyi, the iron roar in the west sky, and the wolf smoke rises again. ”
Yu Ming also learned about the history of China during the re-reading, the history of the Chinese Kingdom, there are also Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Western Jin, Eastern Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Song, Ming Dynasty, the history before the Tang Dynasty (including the Tang Dynasty) is the same as China on the earth, but the history after the Ming Dynasty (including the Ming Dynasty) has changed, except for the Ming Taizu or Zhu Yuanzhang, the later historical events and characters are completely different from the Chinese history on the earth.
The 'ancestral dragon' in the words written by Lao Tao refers to Qin Shi Huang, and 'Xuanzong' refers to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
When the old Tao was writing, there was a young man grinding ink for the old way, and the young man was clear and beautiful, and he was graceful. After Lao Dao finished writing, after the handwriting became dry, Lao Dao said to the young man:
"Xue Jun Xue Gongzi is worthy of being the champion of liberal arts in my Western Shaanxi Province, and his interpretation of the champion's interpretation of the Taoist classic 'Xuanzhulu' is unique, and his insights are unique, which makes the old students admire, and this character will be given to Xue Gongzi according to the agreement."
Xue Jun hurriedly made a compilation of Qiu Daochang and said:
"Thank you, Daoist Qiu!"
Qiu Daochang turned around and saw Yu Ming, stared at Yu Ming's face for a while, and saw Yu Ming's heart palpitations, Qiu Daochang's eyebrows jumped, and he walked straight down the mountain, reciting the Tao Te Ching aloud as he walked:
"Dao, Kedao, very Dao. Name, name, name. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire, in order to observe its wonder; There is always desire, in order to observe it.
These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same as the mysteries, and the mysteries are mysterious, and the doors of all wonders ......"
Yu Ming thought to himself, has this old way become an immortal? Can you see that your soul has traveled through time?
Yu Ming still understands some Taoism in Huaxia, Huaxia because it has not experienced the division of foreign ethnic groups into the Central Plains, Taoism has not suffered from the suppression of imperial power in history, and has developed very rapidly, and now it has become the state religion of Huaxia, and the people of Huaxia are fashionable to talk about the ancient Taoism, and the current Huaxia country is the heyday of Taoism, with many moral audiences and strong incense.
"This brother, please stay!"
Yu Ming was about to find a hotel to stay in Dongfeng when he heard Xue Jun's voice.
Yu Ming looked back and saw that Xue Jun was looking at himself and smiling, sure that he was calling himself. Yu Ming says:
"What does Brother Xue have to say?"
"Honorific name?"
"No respect, surname Yu, single word clear."
"Brother Yu, can you take a step?"
"It's an honor!"
Yu Ming followed Xue Jun to Xue Jun's room at the Dongfeng Hotel on the top of the East Peak to talk.
It turned out that Qiu Dao's name was Qiu Zichi, who was the 26th generation of the Quanzhen Sect Qiu Chuji, who was extremely famous in Huaxia, and traveled to Huashan to preach here, and lived in Huashan for 10 years. Xue Jun saw that Daoist Qiu treated Yu Ming differently, so he became interested in Yu Ming.
Xue Jun said that Daoist Qiu would never stare at people he didn't know, because anyone who knew a little about etiquette knew that it was impolite to stare at people he didn't know. Xue Jun also said that the Taoist never recited the true scriptures outside.
Xue Jun then told Yu Ming about the agreement between him and Daoist Qiu.
Xue Jun and Daoist Qiu knew each other before, Xue Jun's father Xue Renyi was the secretary of Fu in charge of religion in Western Shaanxi Province, Xue Renyi believed in Taoism, and his whole family and Xue clan believed in Taoism. Although Huaxia advocates freedom of religious belief, no religion is too many, so Daoist Qiu often accepts Xue Renyi's invitation to preach and preach to the people of the Xue clan.
Qiu Daochang saw that Xue Jun had a very thorough understanding of the morality he preached, and his understanding of part of the morality was sometimes deeper than that of his father Xue Renyi, and after Xue Jun took the college entrance examination, he gave Xue Jun a copy of the Taoist collection "Xuanzhu Lu", gave Xue Jun a month, and then came to Huashan to discuss with Qiu Daochang. Qiu Daochang has this confidence, because Qiu Daochang is also a director of the Chinese Calligraphers Association.
Then the two talked about their understanding of Taoism on the Tao Te Ching that Daoist Qiu recited when he left, and Xue Jun was naturally the head of the Tao, and his mouth was like a river. Yu Ming was naturally not to be left behind, but he had no ink in his stomach, so he had to move out the "Disciple Rules" that were not available in the vast continent, and said:
"Taoism also teaches people how to be a person, and I don't know how to be a person, I have summarized a set of behavioral norms, in a nutshell, it is the "Disciple Rules".
薛俊 says:
"I want to hear about it."
Yu Ming says:
"The general spirit of "Di Zi Gui" can be expressed in 6 words, and these 6 words are 'the first filial piety, the second sincere faith'."
Yu Ming saw that Xue Jun was listening carefully, so he further explained and said:
"'Shou Xiaoyi' refers to respecting the predecessors and caring for brothers and sisters, and there are annotations in the 'Tao Te Ching', so I won't say much, so I will talk about the content of the letter below:
The content of the heart is that the morning is early, the night is late, the old is easy to come, and it is a pity to be at this time; In the morning, he will wash his mouth, drown his stool, and clean his hands; The crown must be right, the button must be knotted, and the socks and shoes are tightly cut; Place the crown clothes, have positioning, do not mess around, cause filth; Clothes are expensive and clean, not expensive, the upper is divided, and the lower is called home; For food and drink, don't choose, eat moderately, don't overdo it; When you are young, don't drink alcohol, drinking drunk is the ugliest; Step calmly, stand upright, bow deep circle, worship respect; Don't trample the threshold, don't limp, don't stagger, don't shake your hips. Slowly open the curtain, do not make a sound, turn widely, do not touch the edge; Holding the void, such as holding the profit, entering the void room, such as someone; Don't be busy, busy with many mistakes, don't be afraid of difficulties, don't take it lightly; Never get close to the fight, never ask about evil things; will enter, ask who to save, will go to the court, and the voice will be raised; Whoever a man asks, there is no distinction between me and me; With characters, you must ask clearly, if you don't ask, it is stealing; Borrow characters, pay them back in time, and if you are in a hurry, it is not difficult to borrow.
The content of the letter is that where words are spoken, faith comes first, deceit and delusion, and ridicule; It's better to talk more than less, but it's not to be clever; treacherous words, foul words, market gas, cut off; If you don't see it, don't say it lightly, and don't pass it on lightly if you don't know it; If things are not appropriate, don't take promises lightly, make promises, and make mistakes; All road words, heavy and comfortable, do not rush to illness, do not blur; He said long, this said short, it is not about himself, don't care; Seeing people is good, that is, thinking together, going far, in order to gradually rise; Seeing people evil, that is, introspection, if there is a change, there is no police; Only moral learning, only talent, not as good as others, should be self-motivated; If the clothes and the food are not as good as the people, don't have relatives; I have heard anger, I have heard of happiness, I have lost friends, but I have good friends; Smell the reputation, smell the joy, forgive the people, and gradually go on a blind date; If there is no intention, it is called wrong, and if there is a heart, it is called evil; If it can be changed, it will be returned to nothing, and if it is covered up, it will be added to the innocent. ”
Yu Ming's induction and summary made Xue Jun stunned Yu Ming as a celestial, and did not let Yu Ming open another room to stay, and the two almost didn't sleep in Xue Jun's room, Xue Jun insisted that Yu Ming write out the "Disciple Rules" completely and explain it clearly before he gave up.
It was already more than four o'clock in the morning when Yu Ming sorted out the "Disciple Rules", and Xue Juncai remembered to talk about the study and life of the two.
Xue Jun told Yu Ming that he was admitted to the School of Marxism at Shanghai University. He lives in Xi'an, the provincial capital.
Yu Ming also told Xue Jun about his situation, and then the two went to the balcony to enjoy the rising sun on the top of Huashan Mountain.
After watching the sunrise, the two left each other's contact information, and then made an appointment to go to Beijing to say goodbye to each other.
Yu Ming really didn't have a good rest, and took the cable car directly down the mountain to make the next trip planned......
