Chapter 105: Nanmao and Beima

It is also understandable that Mrs. Shi is careful, after all, she has been through so much, she must be sure of what she is sure of, and what she is not sure of, she is still very clear in her heart. Senior sister said that in today's Chinese land, it is divided into two regions, north and south, the south is most famous for the Maoshan faction, and in the north, because of the rise of the horse immortal, it is also considered by the folk to be practicing and having skills, but in the field of ghosts, the Maoshan faction still has a unique thing.

Maoshan School, one of the most famous and major sects of Taoism. It was created by Sanmao Zhenjun in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name. This school specializes in the scriptures of Shangqing, Lingbao and the Three Emperors, and worships the Yuan Shi Tianwang, Taishang Dao Jun, Taiwei Tian Dijun, Hou Sheng Jinque Emperor, Taishang Laojun and so on as the supreme gods, advocating thinking about God, chanting scriptures, cultivating merits, and cultivating Bigu, guiding and Zhaijiao. In addition to Tao Hongjing, the great master of Maoshan Mountain, the representative figures of this school had the immortal Zhan Shanggong and Guo Sichao in the pre-Qin period, the Gao Dao Li Ming and Zuo Ci in the Qin and Han dynasties, the patriarch Wei Huacun, Yang Xi, Xu Mi, Xu Hui and the famous Taoist master Ge Hong in the two Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties had the master of scientific rites Lu Xiujing, Sun Youyue, etc., and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were Wang Yuanzhi, Pan Shizheng, Sima Chengzhen, Li Hanguang and the famous poet Li Bai. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the same as Longhu Mountain and Soap Mountain, which were the three major Fu Zheng schools of Taoism, known as the Three Mountain Fu Zong, and the Shangqing Jing Zheng of Maoshan was the highest of the three sects. The Tang Dynasty prevailed in the Maoshan sect of Taoism. The lineage of this school is Tao Hongjing→ Zangjin Master →Wang Zhiyuan (528-635→), Pan Shizheng (585-682), → Sima Chengzhen (647-735, calligrapher and thinker), → Li Hanguang (683-769, thinker), → Wu Yun (?). —778, Taoist thinker and poet). These Taoist leaders of the Maoshan sect were highly respected and reused by the emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

Maoshan Mountain, where this Taoist sect is located, is also a fairy mountain. Maoshan is in Jurong, Jiangsu. Maoshan is a famous Taoist mountain in China, the birthplace of the Shangqing faction, and Taoism calls it "the eighth cave heaven, the first blessed land". China Southern Dynasty Qi, Liang Taoist Tao Hongjing created. Because of the building of the museum in Maoshan to cultivate the road, respect the three Mao Zhenjun as the ancestor, hence the name.

In the first 5 years of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty (44 B.C.), the three brothers of the Mao family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, Mao Ying and his younger brother Gu, were dedicated to Maoshan to collect medicine and alchemy, help the world and save the people, and were known as the ancestors of Maoshan Taoism. Later, Tao Hongjing set Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism three founded the Taoist Maoshan School, "Huang Ting Jing" is an important classic of the Maoshan School, but also the later generations of the Quanzhen Taoist School. Tao Hongjing and his disciples operated in Maoshan for decades, making Maoshan the center of the Shangqing faction, so later generations also called the Shangqing faction "Maoshan Sect". The book "True Message" compiled by him records the history of the teaching of Taoism in Maoshan, and the number of people is more than 100. This school majored in Shangqing and other scriptures, and worshiped the Yuan Shi Tianwang, Taishang Dao Jun, Taiwei Tian Di, Hou Sheng Jinque Dijun, Taishang Laojun and so on as the supreme gods, advocating thinking about God, passing through the scriptures, cultivating merits, and cultivating Bigu, guiding and Zhaijiao.

There are many Taoist legends in the Tang Dynasty, including Zhang Guo, Ye Fashan, Luo Gongyuan, and Lu Dongbin. Zhang Guo, in the middle of the mountain, may have the secret of longevity and will close qigong. He lived in the period of Wu Zetian and Tang Xuanzong. Ye Fashan, a native of Kuozhou Kuocang (now Xianju, Zhejiang), is a fine channel. Four generations of Gaozong, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and Xuanzong, lived 107 years old, and the calligrapher Li Yong's "Mr. Ye Guozhong Shendao Tablet" is said to be Ye Fashan forced Li Yong to write in a dream, also known as "Soul Chasing Tablet". Luo Gongyuan, a figure in the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty. Lü Dongbin (798—?) ), the word rock, the number of pure Yangzi, Tang Jingzhao (now Xi'an) people. At the age of 64, he met Zhong Liquan and became Taoist, and there are many legends, such as Jianghuai beheading Jiao, Yueyang Crane, inn drunkenness, Huangliang a dream, etc. Basically formed from the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, only Cao Guo's uncle was passed on as a member of the Song Dynasty; Except for Zhang Guo, Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi, who do have prototypes to examine, the other five are legends. There are many legends and myths, which is a manifestation of the popularity of Taoism, and it is also a manifestation of the people's yearning for the Taoist immortal world. The eight immortals punish evil and promote good, which is also a manifestation of the people's yearning for a better social life.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Maoshan sect, which mainly taught the Shangqing scriptures, produced many well-known Taoist priests, such as Wang Yuanzhi, Pan Shizheng, Sima Chengzhen, Wu Yun and Li Hanguang. Through their activities, the Maoshan sect gradually became the Taoist sect with the highest status in the country. Among them, Wang Yuanzhi is the 10th generation master of the Maoshan Sect, which laid an important foundation for the prosperity of the Maoshan Sect after entering the Tang Dynasty. Wang Yuanzhi was born in a family of eunuchs, and was highly respected by Tang Gaozu and Taizong. After his death in the ninth year of Zhenguan (635 AD), he was posthumously awarded the title of Dazhong Doctor in the second year of Gaozong Tiaolu 9 AD 680, and was nicknamed Mr. Shengzhen. Four years later, he was awarded the title of Doctor Zijin Guanglu. Wu Yun was quite talented, and his articles and poems were well commented on at that time, and he was appreciated by Tang Xuanzong. Xuanzong once asked him about the Dao Fa, and he replied: "The essence of the Dao Fa is no as good as the "Five Thousand Words". Wu Yun is the author of "Xuangang Theory", "Theory of Immortals Can Be Learned", "Theory of Form and God Can Be Solid", etc., and has made great contributions to the Taoist theory of refining and cultivating righteousness. The 13th generation grandmaster Li Hanguang, a son of a large family, was born in Guangling Jiangdu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). Zhongzong Shenlong entered the Tao in the first year (705), learned the Tao from Sima Chengzhen in Wangwu Mountain in the Kaiyuan period, and lived in Songyang for more than 20 years. Xuanzong respected him very much, and called him "Dao Gao Zifu, Xue Zonghuang Ting" in "Ordering Li Hanguang to Build Maoshan Altar". During the Tianbao period, Li Hanguang was given the title of Mr. Xuanjing by Xuanzong. In his later years, he lived in Maoshan Ziyang Temple.

After the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, this faction gradually declined. The successive masters of the Shangqing faction have all been awarded the title of imperial court. In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, it finally became one of the "Three Mountains of Jingjing". Zhu Ziying, the 23rd grandmaster of the Shangqing faction, once prayed for God to give a son to Zhenzong, and later gave birth to Renzong and was named "National Teacher". The 35th grandmaster Ren Yuanfu was ordered by Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty to do the Great Dao Field to eliminate floods. Wang Daomeng, the 44th grandmaster, prayed for rain to drive away locusts for Emperor Yuan, and was given the title of "real person".

In the fifth year of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty (44 BC), the three brothers of the Mao family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province came to Maoshan to collect medicine and alchemy, help the world and save the people, and were known as the ancestors of Maoshan Taoism. Tao Hongjing, a hermit in Qiliang, founded the Maoshan School of Taoism. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, Maoshan has been listed as the "first blessed land, the eighth cave heaven" of Taoism. Tao Hongjing (456-536), an important representative of the Maoshan School, was a well-known figure and a self-proclaimed reclusive man in Huayang, a native of Danyang Moling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). Tao Hongjing's life spans the three generations of Song, Qi and Liang, and the experience can be described as complicated. Although Emperor Wu of Liang was very kind to him, "Southern History" also has the reputation of "Prime Minister in the Mountains". However, in the Southern Liang period, under the environment of the whole country worshipping Buddha, Tao Hongjing, as a representative of the Maoshan School of Taoism, was forced to travel far away under pressure. Finally, as the master of the Shangqing sect of Taoism, he went to the Ashoka Pagoda in Chengxian County, swore to take the ordination, and practiced Buddhism and Taoism. It was precisely in this way that the fate of the death of the new Heavenly Master Dao I like Kou Qianzhi was avoided. Later generations regarded this incident as an example of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism in Qiliang to preach, but never analyzed the real reason for Tao Hongjing's worship of Buddha. Some people believe through research that Tao Hongjing's move was not voluntary, but a last resort to maintain the survival of the Maoshan Daoists. Tao Hongjing mourned his friend Shen Yue Shiyun: "I have a few lines of tears, not falling for more than ten years, today is the end of the king, and sprinkled before the autumn wind." thinks that this is Tao Hongjing's forced ordination after he was forced to mourn Shen Yue's truth and tell his painful state of mind. According to Song Jiasong's "Huayang Seclusion Inner Biography", there are 32 kinds of Tao's works, with as many as 233 volumes, but unfortunately most of them have been lost. Today, there are still "True Words" and "Taixuan Zhen Yijing"? Taoist products", "True Spiritual Position Karma Map", "Dengzhen Hidden Formula", "Materia Medica", "Tao Seclusive Materia Medica", "General Recipe of Medicine", "Guide Health Map", "Nourishing Life Extension Record", "Collection of Jindan Yellow and White Formula", "Taiqing Zhudan Collection"; As well as "Astronomical Star Calculation", "Imperial Calendar", "Huayang Tao Hermitage Collection" and so on. From this point of view, Su Dongpo's unsatisfactory life is often eight or nine times, both ancient and modern, and those who are as broad as Tao Hongjing are no exception.

The important classic of the Taoist Maoshan school, "Huang Ting Jing", is divided into two parts, inside and outside, the full name is "Taishang Huangting Inner Jing Jade Sutra" and "Taishang Huangting Exterior Jing Jade Sutra". "Huang Ting Jing" is an important classic of the Maoshan school, and it is also the homework of the Quanzhen Taoist school of later generations. The "Huang Ting Jing" is a summary of the previous generation's cultivation and health preservation experience, and also provides basic theories and methods for the internal cultivation of later generations, and is known as the "wonderful book of longevity".

Yuanfu Palace is hidden between the green forests and green waves on the southern waist of Maoshan Jijin Peak. The original name was "Qianshen Nunnery", and later it was called "Yuan Fu Guan", now it is called "Yuan Fu Palace", and the full name is "Yuan Fu Wanning Palace", referred to as "Yin Palace". Maoshan is the first blessed land of Taoism, the south waist of Maoshan Jijin Peak where the Yuanfu Palace is located, the secluded caves are dense, the strange stones stand in a forest, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is charming, it is the blessed land among the blessed lands.

Maoshan Taoist music and Zhai Jiao activities, through the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties, in the Song and Yuan dynasties and favored by the court, the literary and historical materials are quite abundant. In the "Maoshan Chronicles" of the Ming orthodox version of "Daozang" and the "Maoshan Chronicles Co-compilation" of Jiajingzhong, the order of the Jiao events and the festivals of the Jiao events held by the emperor, the singing songs, etc., and even the ritual instruments, musical instruments, singing and performance personnel used in the Jiao ceremony, etc., have relatively detailed records.

Maoshan is at the junction of Jurong and Jintan counties, and the ancient name of Maoshan is Juqu Mountain. In the Western Han Dynasty, the three brothers of the Mao family in Shaanxi came to the mountains to collect medicine and alchemy to save the people and help the world. Therefore, the descendants changed its name to Sanmao Mountain, referred to as Maoshan Mountain. It is listed as the "first blessed land, the eighth cave heaven" of Taoism. The scenery of Maoshan is beautiful, there are nine peaks, twenty-six holes, nineteen springs, the famous Damao Peak is 372.5 meters above sea level, steep and majestic. From Maoshan Town, a short distance to the east, you will arrive at the foot of the mountain, and look up at the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace (commonly known as the Ding Palace) that stands on the top of the mountain.

Maoshan was formerly known as Juqu Mountain, located in Jurong County, which is more than 60 kilometers southwest of Zhenjiang City, with a total area of 32 square kilometers, and the main peak is Damao Mountain, with an altitude of more than 370 meters. The peaks and mountains here are stacked and green, the forests are verdant, the clear spring is murmuring, the thick shade covers the sky, and the natural scenery is very beautiful. According to history, 4,100 years ago, Dayu had climbed the mountain to court the ministers; Taibo, the crown prince of Yin Zhou, picked herbs here; In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu also came here to build Wuyuan Palace.

Various theories vary, but the general belief is that the Taoist sect Maoshan is in Jurong, Jiangsu. Maoshan is a famous Taoist mountain in China, the birthplace of the Shangqing faction, and Taoism calls it the eighth cave heaven, the first blessed land. China Southern Dynasty Qi, Liang Taoist Tao Hongjing created. Because of the building of the museum in Maoshan to cultivate the road, respect the three Mao Zhenjun as the ancestor, hence the name. One said that in the first 5 years of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty (44 BC), the three brothers of the Mao family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, Mao Ying and his younger brother Gu, were sincerely engaged in Maoshan medicine and alchemy, helping the world and saving the people, and were known as the ancestors of Maoshan Taoism. Later, Tao Hongjing set Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism three founded the Taoist Maoshan School, "Huang Ting Jing" is an important classic of the Maoshan School, but also the later generations of the Quanzhen Taoist School of the homework scriptures. Tao Hongjing and his disciples operated in Maoshan for decades, making Maoshan the center of the Shangqing faction, so later generations also called the Shangqing faction "Maoshan Sect". The book "True Message" compiled by him records the history of the teaching of Taoism in Maoshan, and the number of people is more than 100. This school majored in Shangqing and other scriptures, and worshiped the Yuan Shi Tianwang, Taishang Dao Jun, Taiwei Tian Di, Hou Sheng Jinque Dijun, Taishang Laojun and so on as the supreme gods, advocating thinking about God, passing through the scriptures, cultivating merits, and cultivating Bigu, guiding and Zhaijiao. In addition to Tao Hongjing, the representatives of this school included Wang Yuanzhi, Pan Shizheng, Sima Chengzhen, Li Hanguang, etc. in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was the same as Longhu Mountain and Gesoap Mountain, which were the three major Taoist Fu Gong schools, known as the Three Mountains Fu Gong. After the Yuan Dynasty, it was merged into Zhengyi.

And the horse fairy is more common in the north. The so-called horse, in the north, is called moving poles, putting incense on the head, and leading the troops. Depending on the region, there are many names. But in the end, it is all one purpose, there is a disciple (also known as Brother Ma) who leads the hall of an immortal family to see things and investigate people's diseases.

In just a few years, there are tens of thousands of people in the country. It is understood that in a small city in the northeast, there are hundreds of halls. Most of the original horses (Dao) immortals are in the northeast, especially in Jilin Province, and Jilin Province is mostly concentrated in the three cities of Jilin, Liaoyuan and Meihe. And now it has developed rapidly throughout the country, and some have also developed abroad (of course, also Chinese).

In ancient times, people believed in gods and ghosts, so there was a wizarding profession. To this day, it is a horse.

According to legend, a sorcerer is a person who can communicate and convey information with ghosts and gods, and is a profession based on the exchange of information between mortals and gods and ghosts, and its responsibility is to upload and distribute, bring the will of the gods to mortals, and then convey the requirements of mortals to the gods. This culture has been passed down to this day and has evolved into a form of horseback. Horses are generally more common in the north, known as the south and north horses.

"Out of the horse" refers to some animal immortals, such as foxes, snakes, weasels, etc., who have cultivated for hundreds of years, and then cultivated for themselves or accepted the task of the Heavenly God, and came to the mortal dust to accumulate merit (one said to collect yang energy), so as to achieve the goal of ranking in the immortal class and becoming a righteous immortal god. Among the animal immortals, the Hu Huang python is often the most common, and the Tao is the highest, so it is called the four major families by the world, and the family is also the leader of the Golden Flower Sect, the Master of Tongtian, the Leader of the Silver Flower, the third master of Hu, and the grandmother of Hu San are the most famous, responsible for leading and supervising the immortal family of the world.

In order to practice, or because they accepted the task, the immortals who want to open a court want to accumulate merits, cultivate positive results, and purify the world, but it is not convenient to directly transform into a human, or to cure people in a direct form, so they choose a human being with immortal fate and understanding as a horse disciple, to cooperate with each other to transform the world in the form of possession, so there is another profession in the world - a horse disciple!

The fate of the disciple and the immortal family is generally divided into two kinds, one is the fate of the previous life, the disciple was a righteous god or a bodhisattva boy in his previous life, or a member of the elf family, and the immortal family and his previous life were father and son, brother, or master and apprentice, the relationship of the same door. The disciples themselves have a certain amount of mana, but they can't use it after experiencing reincarnation, and some of these disciples have passed through the lower realm, and some of them have taken over the task of saving people in the next life, so since they were born, they have been tied together with the immortals, saving people together, accumulating merits, and achieving positive results together. There is also a type of disciple who is the fate of the continuation of the family, that is, the ancestors of the family once worshiped the immortal family, and later the ancestors passed away, and the merits of the immortal family have not yet been accumulated, and they still stay in the world, so they must continue to find disciples to help continue the incense and help people.

In this way, they chose a descendant with more wisdom from among the descendants of the original disciples to inherit the great responsibility of the church. Those disciples, because of reincarnation, have forgotten who they are, their responsibilities and their powers. In addition, I was born in this era of reality and science, and I can only be skeptical of these things.

The reason why the senior sister said Nanmao and Beima is that in this incident, in order to let this little ghost be able to survive, the master had to invite the Taoist leader, firstly, to prevent the matter of borrowing the corpse to return the soul, and secondly, she also wanted to use the power of Taoism to restrain this exotic soul and make the matter complete.

After the senior sister received the order from the teacher, she went to ask the head of the Zhixing Dao overnight, but when she arrived at the place, she learned that the head of the Zhixing path was still in retreat, and as for what was out of the customs, it was still uncertain, because the Dharma protector said that the head of the Zhixing path had proposed to extend the retreat time again, so the matter could not be decided for a while.

But there was a situation in the cloth shop, originally I only thought it was just a few more days, but after the cloth shop owner went home, he heard from Lingju that there was a half-grown child who always came out of their store these days, and at this time, in the easternmost place on the street of this cloth shop, there was a family doing white things, thinking of what the master said about borrowing the corpse to return the soul, the senior sister felt that she could not wait any longer, so she explained the situation to the master and asked the next step.

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she said that this might be a coincidence, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she asked her sister to send a letter to the owner of the cloth shop, asking him to bring the Buddha card to the gambling horse market in the evening.

The cloth shop owner understood, so he didn't say anything else, just asked the senior sister what to prepare.

As soon as I heard these things, I knew that my sister was preparing according to the things of her own faction, but there was no way, at that time, the master still couldn't say whether she could come or not, and the Zhixing Dao chief was in retreat, so the only one in front could only be the senior sister.

When it was almost dark, the cloth shop owner had already come to the racecourse with the prepared things, and the situation at that time was that the senior sister was alone, and the cloth shop owner was also alone, which made the senior sister also a little nervous, because she had never encountered this situation before.

The owner of the cloth shop put the Buddha card in the pocket of his jacket, and the senior sister seemed to see a child sitting cross-legged through the transparency.

Because it was not completely dark at this time, the senior sister chatted with the owner of the cloth shop on the racecourse.

The owner of the cloth shop didn't know much about Taoism, but after listening to what Mrs. Shi said, he also reviewed what he had done these days, and he also felt that it might really be something that happened to raise a little ghost.

The senior sister was very interested in the shop owner's shop, and asked him why a man would choose this business?

At that time, the owner of the cloth shop briefly told him about his life experience, and it turned out that the reason why he was a cloth shop was not unrelated to the fact that he had studied tailoring. In the old days, most of the sewing of clothing was done by individuals alone, such as measuring, cutting, sewing, ironing, and specimens, which was commonly known as "one hand down". These people who make clothes as a profession are also called "tailors". Due to the different varieties of sewn clothing, there are Chinese tailors, Western tailors, and local tailors.

Later in his work, the owner of the cloth shop realized that the fabric of the dress was important for the shape of the clothes, so he studied the clothes. The owner of the cloth shop said that clothing fabric is one of the important textile products and the material basis of clothing. The advent of new garment fabrics and accessories has always accompanied and directly promoted the rapid development of the garment industry. The emergence of a new type of clothing material may set off a new clothing trend and open a new clothing market, and the development process of all clothing is also the process of continuous innovation, improvement and improvement of clothing fabrics in a sense. The development of fabrics restricts and promotes the development of the garment industry, and the development of the garment industry requires the continuous updating of fabrics. The grade level and newness of the fabric directly affect the competitiveness of the garment in the market. So it's still very interesting to do this cloth shop business.

When developing products, fabric stores should first understand as much as possible about the actual needs of customers on the basis of grasping the essentials of fashion trends. Secondly, it is necessary to communicate more with fashion designers and buyers to understand the design needs of designers and the commercial interests of buyers. In addition, it is necessary to combine the characteristics and tonality of downstream customers to provide them with targeted products. In addition, fabric stores can refer to the best-selling fabric styles of previous clothing brands and innovate in combination with current fashion trends. Finally, it is necessary to take into account the cost factor, fabric companies should analyze the price tolerance range of buyers, and minimize the cost in the process of fabric development, which is very important for fashion brands that pursue commercial benefits.

In fact, many people have seen the familiar tailor shop. More than twenty years ago, tailor shops were everywhere we lived. During the New Year's holidays, tearing a piece of fabric and asking a tailor to make new clothes for the child is almost a must-do for every household. Since then, clothing stores have sprung up on the streets, and tailor shops have gradually disappeared. Later, with the different levels of people's demand, physical clothing stores were greatly impacted. At the same time, what is unexpected is that some tailor shops have not only been reborn, but also turned into "ready-to-wear" and taken the high-end route. Consumers can not only go to the store to tailor clothes directly, but also can report their own size, selected fabrics and styles, waiting for a favorite private custom clothing, since then, the cloth shop has also flourished, the cloth shop owner briefly introduced himself at the same time, but the sister found that the cloth shop owner's pocket has changed.
