Xiao Tianshu listened to the year after year, and repeatedly joked that he was not in awe of his ancestors and sages, thinking that this kid had a bad stomach, if it wasn't for his good treatment to Yi Chu, he really wanted to teach him a good lesson!

However, as the so-called one yin and one yang is the Tao, our Taoism pays attention to this kind of yin and yang mutuality, and it is also a figure who is both good and evil!

Xiao Tianshu explained: "But Fu Zheng is not the product of Taoist priests doing at will, but a unique text with certain rules. Tang Dynasty calligrapher Zhang Huai? He once said: "According to the Taoist family, there are hundreds of words in the books of the emperor, the emperor of the earth, and the emperor of the people, and the text is still there, like a symbol, but not its sound finger."

Nian Fu said: "Hehe, brother, don't be angry, I'm just joking, if you want to say this, these talismans, I'm afraid they also have their own unique calligraphy names, right?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Chen Jiru of the Ming Dynasty "Remembering the Book of Taoism" also said: "Taoist calligraphy is detailed in the Sandong Sutra Education Department", he believes that there are 32 kinds of Taoist calligraphy, including "this text", "cloud seal", "eight bodies and six books", "symbols", "eight displays", "jade character formula", "emperor Wen Emperor book", "book of heaven", "dragon chapter", "Fengwen", "jade golden book", "stone characters", "inscriptions", "jade characters", "jade jar", "jade chapter", "Wensheng Cambodia", "jade za", "Danshu", "jade ce", "book of good fortune", " The Compilation of Silver", "Red Book", "Fire Refining True Text", "Golden Pot Ink Characters", "Qiongza", "Purple Characters", "Natural Characters", "Huicheng Characters", "Lang Jianxin Book", "Stone Urn", "Lang Jianrui Book" and so on.

These Taoist calligraphy is like a book of heaven for ordinary people, unrecognizable, even the great calligrapher Su Shi of the Song Dynasty also sighed at the words, he said in the "Heavenly Seal": The book of Taoist monks "The gesture is wonderful, and the words are not readable." Tao Zongyi of the Ming Dynasty also believed in the "Book History Meeting" that Taoist calligraphy "is white but not true, and the gesture is strong, and it cannot be learned." It can be seen that Taoist calligraphy has its own system and requirements, which not only comes from calligraphy, but is also different from ordinary calligraphy. But its bold breakthrough in words and imaginative changes make Taoist paintings have undeniable aesthetic value. ”

Nian Fu envied Xiao Tianshu for knowing more, so he said sourly: "I can't imagine that there are so many calligraphy, my brother is really a genius!" I don't know if I can become an immortal? We ...... it this way."

Xiao Tianshu said: "Whether there are immortals or not, whether they can be cultivated, this is really like a twenty-four history, so people don't know where to start." The first is the question of whether there are immortals, in Taoism, those who exist congenitally are called gods; And those who have reached the realm of immortality through cultivation are called immortals. In the early days, Taoism preached the immortality of the body, that is, the immortality of the body, but later this view was gradually denied, and since the emergence of Inner Dan cultivation, Taoism pursued the immortality of the original gods. In the preface to Zhang Boduan's "Enlightenment Chapter", it is said that "immortality is just a saying that attracts people to learn the Tao, and only the original god is immortal." Later, the Quanzhen Sect simply said, "How can there be immortals in the world?" "Hehe......"

Nian Fu said, "Then can the physical body be immortal?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "I think there should be no problem in living a thousand years old." For example, a candle can normally burn for two hours, but if the candle is lit at the tuyere, it can only burn for about an hour at most. If we can add a glass cover to the candle and make the wick thinner, then the burning time of the candle will increase a lot. If we still know how to add oil, wouldn't it burn longer? (The technique of planting in Nanzong is derived from the theory of planting old trees, so that the life expectancy of the elderly can be greatly extended.) The Ming Dynasty's "Shou Shi Bao Yuan" contains the art of receiving the fate of the gods. ）”

Nian Fu said: "I understand, in fact, people are also a truth, our viscera work non-stop all the time, there is no time to rest, so as the years go by, it is inevitable that there will be some losses." The human body is different from machines, the human body has a powerful repair function, so as long as we can live according to the laws of nature, basically there will not be much consumption, and most of them can fulfill their destiny (that is, 120 years old). The basic life expectancy of human beings is 120 years old, which was first proposed in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and it was only recognized by the West in modern times, and scientists further believe that if people have a good life, there is no problem at all to live 150 years old. The reason why people have old diseases is because we don't replenish as much as we consume every day, so we accumulate and bury many roots, and people will slowly age after a long time. If we can take precautions and replenish the essence and qi by taking food, and guide to dredge the meridians, we can at least achieve the goal of longevity. ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Brother Nian, you know a lot! Hehe......"

Nian Fu said with a smile: "According to the law of cell metabolism, when we live to be twenty years old, in fact, all the cells up and down are no longer born. By the time we live to be sixty, we have used three new bodies. If you can keep the body's metabolism normal all the time, then you can achieve immortality? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "But the immortals of Taoism are not only immortal, Taoism believes that through a certain amount of cultivation, people can be in harmony with the Tao, looming freely, in and out of nothing, and changing at will." During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the body pursued immortality, so Ge Hong's method was to strengthen the body by taking Jindan, but due to the change in the definition of immortals, the Taoist cultivation method was also changed to the cultivation of essence and spirit. Neidan is a complete set of huge projects to develop the potential of the human body in order to achieve the realm of truth with the Tao. Taoism believes that the human body is a small universe, and the birth of a person is a repetition of the evolution of the universe, which is a process of being divided into gossip by Tai Chi and changing from innate to acquired. ”

Nian Fu said: "Then can the immortals learn?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "This is to mention, the immortals can be learned, the cultivation of the inner pill draws on the terminology of the outer dan, with the special parts of the human body as the furnace, the essence and spirit as the medicine, and the divine qi as the fire, "refining the medicine with fire to become the dan, that is, to become the Tao with the divine qi." "In fact, the essence and spirit were originally derived from a Tai Chi differentiation, just imagine that when you have just conceived in the mother's body, where is there any spirit and spirit? It is precisely because the essence, qi and spirit are incarnated by one thing that the three influence each other and can be transformed into each other. There is a lot of evidence for this in the Tao Sutra, such as "Essence is in harmony with its qi, and qi is in harmony with its spirit." "God is born according to form, and essence is full of energy." ("Heart Seal Sutra") "Health preservation to be cautious in the room in a hurry, what is the urgency to make the gods cry? According to modern scientific theories, the three major elements that make up the universe are matter, energy, and information, and the three correspond to the essence and spirit of the human body.
