Chapter 552: Watching the Heavens at Night

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Is the scholar's words true?" Did he go to ancient times, or did he travel to the era when he traveled to the mound and grew up and met Genghis Khan, and what he said was really the wise saying? ”

Nian Fu said: "No, on the other hand, it is impossible to conclude that this matter is a real person in history, and there must be a record, and only a record can be used as evidence......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Yes, what evidence is there? ”

Nian Fu said: "What's even more incredible is that the "Quotations of the Patriarch of Changchun" records that Qiu Chuji also gave advice to Genghis Khan very actively to deal with the Jin State. He said to Genghis Khan, "The country of Xijin won the world and created the eastern land, and the people of the Central Plains have not yet been understood." Feng Liu Yu in Dongping, after eight years, and then take it. It's also a good idea." In the early days of the Jin people's occupation of the Central Plains, they once supported the traitor Liu Yu as a puppet emperor as a transitional period, and Qiu Chuji suggested that Genghis Khan use the same method to deal with the Jin State. It must be known that when Qiu Chuji said this, Jin Guo was still there, and his identity was still a standard Jin Guo, but he gave advice to Genghis Khan, the sworn enemy of Jin State, and taught him the strategy of conquering his motherland Jin State, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his heart is punishable. Although the monks do not care about the world, they should always have a minimum of respect and love for the motherland where they grew up. Doesn't that be proof? ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "It's just hearsay, in fact, he is not a person who loves to fight, of course, this is the same as the concept of Taoism Quanzhenjiao, cultivating the mind and body, just offering to save people but not killing people, what you said about offering advice, you didn't say that offering advice is to kill people, right?" ”

Nian Fu said: "But when there is a war, what do you do if you don't fight?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "If according to me, this Qiu Zu clearly knows that it is Genghis Khan who dominates the world, but he goes to give advice to the emperors of the Jin and Song dynasties, and in the long run, this account will never be finished, and it is not the common people who suffer." Not to mention anything else, if you think about it in this way, he is the sage of the unpredictable prophet, so this consideration should be in a positive direction, are you right? ”

Nian Fu pondered for a long time, thinking to himself, this Xiao Tianshu, who is still a few years younger than himself, how can he know so much, his way of thinking and thinking mode are different, and he always has opinions and unique ideas that stand out from the crowd.

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "But this is just my personal opinion, and I don't force others to agree with my own opinion, that is, my own opinion, everyone should have their own independent ideas, this is what we can't force, and we can only find the idea of seeking common ground while reserving differences in it is the correct solution......

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, that's right, you kid, you really know a lot, if you are my master, you won't lose me, where else can I find immortals......"

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, I can't and don't dare to be your master, besides, you know more spells than me, you have sat on this ghost sedan chair, I don't have this ability, where can I be your master?" ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, okay, don't be modest, by the way, I watched the sky tonight and found a halo on the edge of the moon in the sky, do you say that tomorrow will be sunny?" ”

Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, the moon wears a straw hat, also known as the moon with hair, and it is going to rain......

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Shout, this will still watch the sky at night?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Taoism has always had the tradition of "stargazing at night". According to the record of "The Biography of Lou Guanben", "Lou Guan, the former residence of King Kang of Zhou Dynasty Guan Lingyin. Take the grass as the building, watch the stars and look at the air, because of the famous building. This palace view has been around since the beginning. Asking the scriptures, this great religion is also prosperous." The Taoist palace and temple are called "view" rather than "temple" or "temple", which may be the most directly related to the Taoist tradition of watching celestial phenomena at night. The main reason why Taoism attaches great importance to astronomy is that it is influenced by the legacy of pre-Qin Taoism, and it is extremely worshipful and awe-inspiring to celestial bodies; At the same time, Taoism starts from the thinking mode of "the unity of heaven and man" and "the same rule of the body and the country", and believes that understanding the heavenly phenomena is conducive to seeking Taoism and becoming immortals. The construction of the theoretical system of Taoist theology and the development and perfection of various Taoist internal and external pills for health preservation and cultivation of immortals require people in Taoism to master certain astronomical knowledge. The establishment of the Taoist immortal genealogy is based on the model of the celestial universe, and the construction of the Taoist celestial structure model is inseparable from astronomical knowledge, and Taoist theological beliefs and thoughts need to be expressed through certain ritual forms. The implementation of Taoist ritual ceremonies, especially the design of the Jiao altar and the arrangement of ritual programs such as Bugang and stepping buckets, also requires a certain knowledge of astronomy and the universe. In the early days, the Diocese of Heavenly Master Taoism organized the setting of 24 and 28 rulers, that is, the use of astronomical knowledge such as the 24 solar terms and the 28 sutras, forming a well-organized diocesan system. In short, out of the religious and political demands of astrology and the need to prolong life, the Daomen looked up at astronomy and geography, thus forming the tradition of stargazing at night. ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, I know this, but Taoist priests don't know how to observe the sky!" ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Since the Han Dynasty, with the deepening of astronomical observations, the number of stars and star officials (constellations) that people know has increased dramatically, and there is a need for a tool that can help identify and remember the star officials throughout the sky, so many star charts have appeared. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Guotai Shi ordered Chen Zhuo to synthesize the astrologers of the Shi, Gan, and Wuxian factions, seek common ground while reserving differences, compile a star catalog with 283 officials and 1464 stars, and draw a star map. The advantage of the star chart is that it is imagery, which makes it easy for people to identify the star officials. But the star map is complex and difficult to remember. As a result, people began to borrow rhymed poems and songs to describe the stars throughout the day. In this regard, Taoist astronomers have made outstanding contributions. Li Bo, a Taoist priest named Huangguanzi in the Sui Dynasty, once wrote "Astronomical Elephant Fu", which made a literary description of the starry sky in the form of songs. Li Bo's attempt to help people understand the starry sky, but unfortunately it was not widely spread. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, an astronomical work called "Dan Yuanzi Bu Tiange" appeared, which successfully completed this work. There are still controversies about the age and author of "Dan Yuanzi Butian Song", mainly including Dan Yuanzi of the Sui Dynasty and Wang Ximing of the Kaiyuan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty (self-named Dan Yuanzi). But in terms of the analysis of the title of Dan Yuanzi, this is a typical Daomen number; And the three "Five Elements" of the "New Tang Dynasty Book and Art and Literature Chronicle" recorded "Wang Ximing's "Taiyi Golden Mirror Sutra" ten volumes, written by Kaiyuan Zhong, Wang Ximing's "Taiyi Golden Mirror Sutra" is undoubtedly a Taoist book. Therefore, the author thinks that regardless of whether the author of "Dan Yuanzi Bu Tian Ge" is really Wang Ximing, we can judge that "Dan Yuan Zi Bu Tian Ge" must have come from the hands of Sui and Tang Taoist disciples and is a precious document of Taoist astronomy. ”
