Zhuangzi looked in the direction of Qi in front of him and said: "The Jixia School Palace of Qi is the center of Taoism in the world, if Xiaoyou wants to go further in the Taoist concept of governance, I am afraid that only Jixia School Palace can help you." ”

"I'm afraid what I've learned won't help you. It's a pity that if my friend Keiko hadn't died, I could have introduced Keiko to you, and you and Keiko have a lot in common. ”

Zhuangzi is a native of Mengcheng in the Song Kingdom, is a celebrity of the contemporary Taoist school, famous all over the world, the former King of Chuwei heard of Zhuangzi's reputation, once sent three doctors to invite Zhuangzi out of the mountain to help, but Zhuangzi refused.

Zhuangzi and Huizi Huishi are friends, and the two have diametrically opposite attitudes towards life, but they don't know what's going on, and the two become close friends.

The person with bird feathers on his head is the crown of the Taoist school of Chu State.

Hearing this, Que Guanzi said regretfully: "The name of Huizi, the students have heard of it for a long time, but unfortunately the fate is insufficient, when the students arrived in Wei a few years ago, Huizi has passed away and has not been able to see each other." ”

No one knows what the specific name of the crane crown is, because he likes to put two feathers on the hat on his head, plus he himself studied under the Taoist school, and was given a nickname by the people around him.

In his early years, he traveled out of the Chu State, and not long ago passed through the Song State and knew the reputation of Zhuangzi, so he came to visit Zhuangzi, the predecessor of Taoism.

This visit was a long insight for Que Guanzi, and Zhuangzi's thoughts and the Taoist concept of entering the WTO that he learned were two diametrically opposed Taoist thoughts.

Zhuangzi advocates the way of freedom and heaven, thinks wildly, pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, and develops Laozi's idea of quiet and non-action, which is different from the mainstream of current Taoism, Zhuangzi is a hermit school.

After communicating with Zhuangzi for a period of time, Que Guanzi was deeply impressed by Zhuangzi, and even in the conversation with Zhuangzi, there was a moment when he wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests like Zhuangzi.

Probably because the crane crown is still young and has not yet displayed the ambition in his chest, the crane crown immediately extinguished this bad sign that suddenly appeared.

Zhuangzi naturally saw the contradiction in the heart of the Crane Guanzi, and in the exchange, he noticed that the Crane Guanzi had a very high attainment in the doctrines of Taoism, soldiers, Legalism, and Mohists.

The current Jixia School Palace, Zou Yan, Tian Piao, Jiezi, Huanyuan and others are all the grandmasters of the Taoist family of the Jixia School Palace. Among them, Zou Yan was born from Taoism and developed a yin-yang family. plus Shenzi (Shen Dao), who died not long ago, this Taoist master who was also born from Taoism, but was one of the founders of Legalism (Shang Yingshen is not harmful, and he is the great master of Legalism's magic power).

The Taoists of the Jixia School Palace can be said to be full of talents and inclusive, and all kinds of doctrines are available (Mencius has cried and fainted in the toilet, in the face of this vote of Taoist masters, no matter how strong his ability is, it is difficult to defeat the public with a single mouth, even if he is extremely trusted by King Qi Xuan, Confucianism has never been able to open the situation in the Qi State, and King Qi Xuan's suggestions to Mencius always feel that what Mencius said is very reasonable, but he never adopts it. ）。

It was precisely because of this that Zhuangzi persuaded Que Guanzi to set off for the Qi Kingdom.

Because although they belong to the same Taoism, the paths of Crane Guanzi and Zhuangzi are two different paths.

What he Guanzi learned was all about the principles of being born to govern the country, and it was about the strategies and methods of governing the country, and he himself had already traveled to the four kingdoms of Qin, Chu, Han and Wei, and had just come out of the Wei State, and planned to visit Zhuangzi through the Song State and go to the Qi State.

As a result, after meeting Zhuangzi, the crane was led astray by Zhuangzi and fell into confusion.

It wasn't until a day ago that Zhuangzi persuaded Que Guanzi to go to Jixia School Palace that Que Guanzi made up his mind.

Crane Guanzi bowed and said: "Send people thousands of miles, there will be a farewell, sir, please stop, the student is leaving." ”

"Okay, be careful along the way."

Soon after Zhuangzi saw the bird Guanzi leave, Zhuangzi's son ran over panting.

Zhuangzi asked, "What happened?" ”

"Father, the news just came from the Chu State, the Chu State Order Yin Zhaoyang passed away not long ago."

"Zhaoyang died?"

"Yes, father, it's the news sent by the son of Zhaoyang."

After receiving his son's affirmative answer, Zhuangzi glanced in the direction where Que Guanzi left, and saw that Crane Guanzi's figure had disappeared from view, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's a pity." ”

"Let's go, let's get ready, let's go back to Chu State to attend Ling Yin Zhaoyang's funeral."

Chu.

Xiong Huai boycotted the dynasty for three days because of Zhaoyang's death, and completely banned singing and dancing in the Chu Palace to express his condolences.

On the fourth day, the court meeting was held again, because it was not a big court meeting, and only a few important ministers participated.

The ministers all know the content of today's court meeting.

"Meet the King." After the arrival of the king of Chu, the ministers finished their salutes.

Jing Carp was the first to come out and speak to the King of Chu.

"The king, let Yin Zhaoyang attack Wei and attack Qi, with outstanding military achievements, virtuous and capable, and meritorious service to the country. Today, Yin Zhaoyang is dead, but this situation cannot be extinguished, please give the king a name. ”

The nickname was formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it was the evaluation of the predecessor of the successor monarch after the death of the Son of Heaven.

In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, princes and important ministers also began to have nicknames after their deaths, and princes' nicknames were very common, but it was rare for ministers to have nicknames, and they generally had to have great merit.

Zhaoyang's contribution to the Chu State is enough to get a nickname, so in the past few days, Jing Li has been thinking about what nickname to give Zhaoyang.

Regarding the nickname, it was still very important in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was related to the evaluation of a person's life, and it needed to be very cautious.

Regarding the importance of nicknames, a very famous incident happened in the Chu State before, which can be explained.

In the past, King Chu Cheng was seriously old and sick, and he planned to replace his crown prince, but he didn't want the prince and merchant ministers to strike first and launch a mutiny, so as to kill King Chu Cheng.

Faced with the prince's force and forced himself to die, King Chu Cheng had no choice but to die, but before he died, he wanted to ask the prince what his nickname was, so he fulfilled his last wish.

Shang Chen replied to King Chu Cheng, and the nickname was Ling (Lourdes is shrewd and said to be spiritual, chaotic and not damaging to Ling, which is a good and bad half of the name that is biased towards evil. ）

King Chu Cheng, who was halfway through his death, stopped committing suicide as soon as he heard this nickname, stared at Shang Chen with wide eyes, and refused to die.

Shang Chen saw that his father refused to commit suicide, and he was unwilling to kill his father with his own hands, so in the end he had no choice but to change his name to a nickname (An Min Lizheng is said to be Cheng, Tongda Qiang is said to be Cheng, this is a superior nickname).

When King Chu Cheng learned that his nickname was "Cheng", he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally regretted hanging himself to death.

King Chu Cheng is the only monarch who knows his nickname before he dies (those who give themselves nicknames don't count).

From here, it can be known that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people attached great importance to nicknames. For people in this era, the most important thing after death, apart from the grave, is only the name.

That's why Ling Yin Jingli will take the lead in proposing to the King of Chu and ask for a nickname for Ling Yin Zhaoyang.
