Chapter 575: The Ballad of Taishang
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, you and Yi Chu are really childhood sweethearts and sisters!" As soon as I say something, can I find something corresponding in my life to explain it......"
Nian Fu smiled and said: "There was originally, when we turned to Bran City, there was already this, and you didn't participate." ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehe, don't say it, I grew up in the Taoist temple since I was a child, and I haven't participated in local funerals or happy events at all, so I don't know the customs here!" ”
Nian Fu said: "I'll go, you're sixteen years old, haven't you already come back, why haven't you participated yet?" ”
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hahaha, what you said, it's going to rain this day, my mother is going to get married, who can predict it, usually there are no people in the family, do I still look forward to people going to die, I've only been back for a few days, just this semester and Yi Chu were classmates, and I was promoted to high school, how can I participate in any funeral, let alone know what is Bran City, hehehe, it's better to say that it's better to say that this is not difficult for a strong man, since I haven't experienced it, I can't see others going to the funeral, I'll go over to see it!" Besides, I'm not here to recite scriptures to people......"
Nian Fu smiled: "Hahaha, I really forgot what you said, I didn't expect this stubble to think of this stubble, so I wouldn't ask like this." Hahaha, you just came back, and it's not been half a year, so it's no wonder you don't know what the situation is. It's a joke, you can't make it like this, I can't watch your relatives and friends have a funeral, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing! ”
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, I also don't know, it's normal for you to ask this......"
Nian Fu said: "Then what is the situation of the Sutra you just said?" ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "The Book of People was "constructed" by Ge Hong from Sun Ge Chaofu. But the ancient "Lingbao Sutra" he relied on has been inherited for a long time in the Ge family. The appearance of the "Duren Sutra" marked a major change in the Taoist style of southern Taoism. An important factor in this change was the extensive absorption of a number of ideas from ancient India, such as worshipping the Great Brahman, talking about fortune, conceiving the 32 days, and so on. Scholars have taken note of this. Often, people attribute this to the influence of Buddhism. But a closer reading of the entire sutra reveals that it is inaccurate to attribute the foreign elements to Buddhist influences. Its true source is the Brahmanical ideas of ancient India. It is necessary to clarify this point in the history of Taoism, and only when it is clarified can some problems in Taoist doctrine be reasonably explained. About the book in the Southern Dynasty Liang Chen's "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Yu Jingshan Bu Xuan Jing" contains "Dong Xuan Bu Xuan Yin" ten poems, when it is the earliest Taoist ritual used in the step of the void words, the words are five words, the number of sentences is different. Some of them are depictions of heavenly fairylands, the volley walks of the gods in Taoist legends. "The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty": "You can step into the void, you can be invisible." Longevity and long-term vision, but also white. "Ming Liu Ji's "Ascension to Heaven": "In the middle of the night, the five spirits are gathered, and the steps are void and the heavens are closed. "Qing Jiang Shiquan's "Second Monument - Lingering Fragrance": "The heroic spirit is immortal, the spirit flag is secretly flashing, and the happy time is Qingyan, and the year is abundant, and it is inevitable to step back and forth." ”
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, it's a book from heaven, it sounds like some cheats, what songs are sung here?" ”
again
Xiao Tianshu said: "Such as:" Saga, Xuandu Mountain, the first emperor of the Ten Directions." Treasure Tower, Bright Flame Flowing Sun", "Qianshu Xuanjing Garden, Rejuvenating Qibaolin." There are 300 heavenly beasts, and the lion is huge", "The control is suitable for the ten directions, and the Xuanjing is swirling." Looking up at the robbery platform, looking down on Ziyunluo", "I am strict with Jiulong, take advantage of the void to get away." Eight days are like the palm of your hand, and Liuhe is full of Liao. The immortals recited the cave scriptures, and the Taishang sang the ballad. The fragrant flowers are scattered with the wind, and the jade sound becomes the purple sky". Some are depictions of Taoist priests holding step void ceremonies on the mandala, such as "Ji Shou Ceremony is too high, burn incense and return to nothingness." Lumens go back with me, FL is also three weeks", "Pitch is too high, Huajingxiu dantian." The left looks forward to the ceremony, and the right looks forward to carrying the knot", so it can face the heavens. All start from fasting, and accumulate hard work. Flying Ling is too void, carrying a master", "Accumulating learning is a real person, and he is honored and guarded." Enjoy eternal longevity, and there are many thousands of tsubakis". This scripture is ten poems "Dong Xuan Bu Xu", and later generations also call it "Lingbao Bu Xu". Many of the various ritual scriptures compiled by Taoism in later generations have included them. ”
Nian Fu said: "Oh, that step is really created by cultured people, and I found that many of our Taoist classics are made by literate literati......"
Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehe, it is true, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, "Buxu words" became an independent poetic style, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wrote "Two Songs of Buxu Words", there are "leaning over the island, returning to Da Luotian", "the total line is endless, pushing Ling Taixu" and so on. The Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi also has "Two Songs of Buxu Words", which has the sentence "A mother planted a peach cloud in the sea, and the flower fell into two thousand years old", "Huabiao returned to the crane for a thousand years, and Ning Dan was the top snow for the clothes". Taoist priests chant sutras and praise. Tang Libai's poem "Title Suizhou Mr. Ziyang Wall": "Breathing and wonderful, stepping and chanting." Wang Qi quoted "Alien Garden": "Chen Siwang traveled to the mountains, and suddenly heard the sound of chanting in the air, clear and bright, and the interpreter wrote it, which was the voice of the gods. The Taoist priest followed suit and made a false sound. Tang Shi Beiwu's poem "Hearing the Sound of Walking in the Mountains": "Who walks on the top of the South Peak, and the crane is cold for nine days. "The First Year of Xuanhe of Song Huizong": "The capital is flooded, and Lingsu is tired of winning, so he leads it on foot on the virtual city, and the servant fights to attack it, and he is free. "Ming Anonymous's "Jingzhong Ji Zhaomeng": "The trail is actually mysterious, good and empty, and it will be Jiao." The Jin Dynasty poet Yuan Haowen also has "Buxu Ci", saying: "Langyuan immortals are white brocade robes, and Haishan Palace is drunk with peaches." At the end of the third watch, Luan's voice was urgent, and the limelight was high." Zhang Shangying of the Song Dynasty compiled three volumes of "Jin Zheng Zhai Three Caves Praise Yongyi", which recorded ten songs of Song Taizong's imperial system "Buxu Words", ten songs of Song Zhenzong's imperial system "Buxu Words" and ten songs of Song Huizong's imperial system "Buxu Words", all of which were recited and sung by Taoist priests when they held the Golden Jar Zhai ceremony. Among them, Huizong's ten steps are collected in the second volume of the Song Dynasty Taoist music score collection "Yuyin Fashi", which shows that the ten words have been recited by Taoist priests and compiled into later Taoist ceremonies, and some are still used today. For example: "In the past, in the Yan'en Palace, the Nine Emperors descended from the sky." Around six true minutes, the yellow mist surrounds the Xuan corridor. Guangnai respects the gods, the immortal soldiers protect the dojo, and the filial grandson is now the successor, close to the spiritual light. ”
Nian Fu said: "Oh, the realm described in this step seems to be the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm?" Sounds pretty good......"
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Many of the first steps of the virtual words are to describe the realm of immortals, the words are elegant, and they are also of the highest quality, but they are not used much in the rituals of Taoism in later generations. According to the research of Professor Shi Zhouren, director of the French Institute of Sinology, the Taoist form of Buxu is related to the Hindu ritual of reincarnation, and the Buxu Qu is related to the "Fanbei" introduced into China. ”
