Chapter 102: The Conception of Modern Taoism

General Xue Jinguang is here, and he must come because he is the commander of the navy.

An epoch-making thing in the history of the Navy, if he doesn't come, he shouldn't be.

The other two people also came together, one was General Xu Shiyou, and the other was the old general Wu Shan, who looked familiar and never knew who it was.

Uncle Xu naturally saw Wushan. And the others, the old man is shaking hands. When he arrived at Wushan, he slapped him twice on the shoulder, and Wushan grinned in pain.

As the commander-in-chief of Longteng's operations in Nanyang, Wang Yongxing did not follow the brigade. He and other comrades-in-arms had been waiting outside the bay. As soon as something unpredictable happens, drive a warship to pick it up. When he came back this time, he was naturally in the team.

However, in the dragon team, there were several Nanyang Chinese in dragon costumes, led by the spirited old man Zhang Chengzhong.

Originally, I thought that this old man was in his last years. A wisp of white beard shows the old man's old age.

After inadvertently chatting, I found out his identity.

The Nanyang Chinese themselves have to come to the mainland to seek the support of the motherland. After Wushan learned his identity, he had another thought.

There are many religions in the world, and in general, there are also Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam.

China is the birthplace of Taoism.

Taoism is divided into two schools, one advocates rebirth and recuperation in order to live forever. On the other hand, they advocate WTO accession. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sect was devastated. The Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao that year was huge. In the area of Qinzhong, there are five buckets of rice that echo each other. Later, it was brutally suppressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, which also led to the decline of national power, and there was the later Three Kingdoms period.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the sect almost disappeared. All dynasties and generations heard the news of the entry into the WTO sect, and devoted all their efforts to plow the court and sweep the caves.

However, the sect that joined the world has been handed down.

That's right, the old man Zhang Chengzhong is the contemporary leader of the Taoist sect.

There are three major sects in the world, and there are many sects in China, but only Taoism is in decline.

Buddhism's "law" is equivalent to China's "Tao", which is to pass through everything, and everything should be done, that is, the unchanging law. It has the same meaning as the law of the universe and the law of the Tao.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was difficult to enter China, and at that time, Confucianism believed that Buddhism was a nonsense, fatherless, and shameless, and should be abolished.

Buddhism in order to survive had to be fostered under the Taoist door, just in the same era of Sakyamuni there is a legend of Lao Tzu out of the customs, so Buddhism tried its best to get closer, and believed that the Buddha was Lao Tzu turned into a Buddha.

With Lao Tzu's protection, he avoided many unnecessary xenophobic attacks, so it was smooth sailing. In the Jin Dynasty, it caused a noisy situation.

Later, the Jin Dynasty Taoist priest Wang Fu wrote a "Laozi Huahu Jing". Although the content of the Huahu Sutra is only to restate the general view of traditional Chinese on Buddhism, the Buddhism at that time was no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past, and the power was so great that it could no longer tolerate the kind of disrespectful and slanderous remarks against Buddhism. It is also this Sutra of Transformation that has made Buddhism and Taoism compete for thousands of years.

In other words, Buddhism is attached to Taoism first, and when it is strong enough to be independent, it will kick Taoism!

Christianity was introduced to China in the early nineteenth century, and in 1807 the London Missionary Society sent Morrison to China as the first Protestant missionary to Chinese mainland.

After the Opium War, the Qing government was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties, and Christian missionary activities were included as a privilege in the treaties, and missionaries used this as a talisman to enter the interior to preach. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of believers was approaching 700,000.

In 1950, Wu Yaozong and other Chinese Christian leaders issued the "Three-Self Declaration" entitled "The Way for Chinese Christianity to Work Toward the Construction of New China," which marked the complete liberation of Chinese Christianity from the control of foreign churches, the complete severance of relations with imperialism, and the realization of "autonomy, self-support, and self-propagation" of Chinese Christianity, and the independent and self-management of Christian causes.

Islam was introduced to China in the middle of the seventh century A.D. as a monotheistic belief from West Asia and the Middle East. After more than 1,000 years of spread and development in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it has now become one of the five major religious beliefs in China, with more than 20 million believers.

After Islam was introduced to China, five sects were gradually formed in the process of its development, namely the Gedim sect, the Hufiya sect, the Zhehelinye sect, the Gedilinye sect, and the Ihlwani sect. The basic beliefs of these five sects are Sunni, and their laws and regulations all believe in the Sunni school of Hanaifei.

During the Qing Dynasty, many famous eunuchs were formed in the Chinese mousselin. The eunuch is a paraphrase of the Sufi order in the Qing Dynasty, and the so-called Chinese Muslim eunuch system in modern academic circles refers to the more fully developed and typical organization and management of the Sufi order.

The eunuch system is the patriarchal system, and each eunuch has a hereditary leader who has been deified, who is both the spiritual leader and the secular leader of the eunuch. In terms of religious observance, the eunuchs did not pay much attention to the five gongs of the teachings, but focused on the meditation and enlightenment of the teachings, especially the recitation and prayer meetings. The gate eunuch believed that only by practicing the Tao can one get close to Allah. The cultivation methods of each eunuch are relatively unique, and most of them are secret.

The understanding of Shinto religion in traditional Chinese thought determines that Chinese society does not reject any religion. Therefore, there is no obstacle to the spread of various religions in China.

Traditional Chinese thought holds that the role of religion is limited to educating the people, unlike Western societies that use religion as the basis for rule. Thus, in the history of China, religion has not even reached this status as an instrument of the ruling class. This is the reason why China did not have religious wars in history.

Therefore, the relatively low status of religion in Chinese society is an important reason for the widespread spread or prevalence of various religions.

Wushan was not content to allow other religions to flourish in China, while traditional Chinese Taoism was declining. Many subsequent horrific incidents were caused by people with ulterior motives who used religion to achieve their own goals.

At present, China has just experienced a decade of catastrophe, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. The influence of religion at this time is not visible for the time being.

Once the country's reform and opening up is on the right track, people's material and cultural life will be greatly enriched and spiritual pursuits will be needed, and various religions will have the soil to spread.

I remember that in another time and space, Wushan went to the Oujiang area, and saw Buddhism flourishing and temples everywhere. It is said that on the first day of the first month of each year, in order to compete for the first incense, there is a competition for bidding. At one point, the price reached a jaw-dropping eight-figure figure. This kind of thing is not clear to others, and Wushan has not seen it. However, it is rumored that there is a nose and an eye, and it may not be without a cause.

As for himself, he was an atheist and did not believe in any religion. However, I read a lot of various religious books. Once, in a temple, and the presiding officer discussed doctrine. The presiding officer had to say that he was a man with deep roots of wisdom and let him convert. Wushan, in another time and space, said a sentence: "Buddhism says, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha." Great monk, please tell me, Buddhism has been in China for so many years, which Chinese became a Buddha? If there is, I will take refuge immediately. The presiding officer never spoke of it again.

As a soul of another time and space, he wanted to strangle these sects from foreign lands in the cradle. First controlled by the government, supporting Taoism in line with the development of society and the times, first to occupy the ideological field. When other religions wanted to come in, they found that the water had passed for three years.

Wushan still has the ability to make up stories. He used his time on the warship to shut himself in his room and meditate. Later, it was handed over to the old man Zhang Chengzhong and let him praise him.

After visiting the warship, Wang Yongxing will definitely return to Beijing. He didn't know what he was facing him. No matter how much success is achieved this time, the charge of cutting first and then playing will definitely be on your back. What's more, Jiang Ning never wanted to return home again, and was ready to stay in Nanyang with all his heart. The other Longteng militants were also eager to try, wanting to fight a piece of the country there with Jiang Ning. When he was in Nanyang, he pinched his nose and confessed, and at this time he had to go back to Jingshi to ask for a Shang Fang sword.

How dare Jiang Ning go back with him? He had no choice but to point his sights on Wushan. Knowing that now, Wang Yongxing doesn't know Wushan's life experience, but he sees that this kid is familiar with Xu Shiyou and Xue Jinguang, the two old generals, and he must have a lot of background. If you take him and take the board, the two of you will suffer together, and you may be a little more relaxed.

"We're going to Jingshi, and you're going to Jingshi too?" When Wushan and Wang Yongxing went to say goodbye to Xu Shiyou and other old generals, the old man asked in surprise.

Wu Shan had no choice but to report the reason for going to the three old generals.

At the end, Wushan also added: "These Nanyang overseas Chinese are also going, they really want to be recognized and supported by the motherland." ”

Yes, the three of them can't take care of Longteng's affairs. As for the affairs of Nanyang, they have no right to speak. Let's go together.

"Uncle Xu, who is that old general?" got on the plane, Wu Shan whispered to General Xu.

"What? You don't know who he is? Xu Shiyou himself is a loud voice, and he didn't speak quietly at all: "Ha Luha, Lao Jun, you have to praise this kid all day long, he doesn't know you." ”

General Xue Jinguang heard it next to him and was amused. Old Man Xue, who has greatly increased his naval strength, has always been smiling from the time they met to the present. Only Wang Yongxing watched dumbfoundedly beside him, not knowing the relationship between Wushan and the three old generals.

"You are the little mountain that monks often say, and your ears were calloused some time ago." The old general said, pretending to pluck out his ears: "Okay, let's get to know each other, I'm Junding Pi!" The young man was very powerful, and he brought a few people to mess up the first military exercise. ”

Occasionally, it turns out that he is the commander of the Minzhou Military Region, no wonder he looks so familiar. In his previous life, he was idle, and the paramilitary Miwushan children's shoes checked every general on the Internet. This old man's appearance is quite unique, and he looks sad, no wonder Wushan feels familiar when he meets.

The destination of the five people is the same, they all go directly to the Military Commission, but the departments where the two people in Wushan go are different.

As for Mr. Zhang and others, because they were informed in advance, they were picked up by the relevant departments as soon as they got off the plane.

The person in charge of Longteng, surnamed Ding. To Wushan's feeling, this person looks like goosebumps all over his body. He was probably in his sixties or even in his seventies. Supposedly, he should leave a mark in the history of the republic. But when I looked through my head, there was no trace of this person.

Special Division! Wu Shan suddenly remembered this unit. It turns out that it really exists!

Wang Yongxing should have been here a few times, and he called him Director Ding, and Wushan also echoed.

If a group of Jiangning and their people wanted to stay in Nanyang, they should have been instructed by the above and directly approved. Wang Yongxing wants to stay in Longteng, and he said that the research will be announced separately.

Director Ding's words, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and there were reprimands and praises.

It wasn't until they walked out of the office building that the brothers couldn't figure out whether to reprimand or praise, but this level was over anyway.

The two glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Laughing at what? Stinky boy! It turned out that Old Man Xu had already come down and was waiting in the car: "Get in the car!" ”

"Well, I" Wushan actually wanted to go and see Grandpa. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how the old man is now.

"What am I, I!" The old man's temper was a little bit: "If someone didn't want to see you, I would have a hard time caring about you." The second boy of the Wang family, Uncle Xu will give you a ride? ”

Wang Yongxing contacted his family in advance, and his father's driver was waiting next to him.

Both sides waved goodbye.

Old man Xu's car left the capital division and drove to the foot of Yanshan.
