Chapter 168: The Sorrow of All Peoples

Watching the Zen master said gritting his teeth, Yu Zujia and Shi Lingren glanced at each other, knowing that the following was definitely not a good word.

Sure enough, the Shouwang Zen master sighed: My master once said that the patriarch Master Hanshan looked at the Taiqing Palace of Laoshan Road, and once sighed that the talented people of the Daomen have come out of the country, which is the luck of Dandao, but it is also the sorrow of all people.

Qiu Chuji, formerly known as Qiu Chuji, later wrote Qiu as Qiu because of avoiding the name of Confucius. The word is dense, and the number is Changchunzi. Dengzhou Qixia people. Legend has it that he lost his parents since he was a child and tasted the hardships of the world. Since childhood, he has longed to cultivate into immortals, and when he was a teenager, he lived in Gongshan in the north of the village, and lived a life of "wearing pine flowers and eating pine nuts, pine streams and drinking pine wind". In order to temper his will, he threw copper coins from the stone cliff into the bushes again and again until he found them.

In September of the seventh year of Dading, Qiu Chuji came from Kunyu Mountain thousands of miles away to pay homage to Quanzhen Nunnery, please be a disciple. Wang Chongyang trained the name of the machine, the word is dense, and the number is Changchunzi. In the winter of the same year, the later Changzhenzi Tan Chuduan, Danyang Zi Ma Yu, and Yuyang Zhenren Wang Chuyi were thrown into Wang Chongyang's door. At the end of February, Wang Chongyang Danyang, Changzhen, Changchun, and Yuyang entered the stone gate of Kunyu Mountain, and opened the Yanxia Cave to live there. In March, Hao Datong, a real person in Guangning, came to Kunjian Mountain to become a monk, and in August, Wang Chongyang moved to Jiang Shi'an in Wendeng County from Yanxia Cave and established the "Seven Treasures Society" of the three religions. In April of the ninth year of Dading, Wang Chongyang led Danyang, Changzhen, Changchun, and Guangning to move to Jinliantang, Ninghaizhou. On the day of Chongwu, Ma Yu's wife and grandson were monks in the Golden Lotus Hall, and their training name was not two, and they were pure and scattered. In August, Wang Chongyang established the "Golden Lotus Society" in Ninghai. In September, Wang Chongyang went to Dengzhou Fushan County to establish the "Sanguang Society" of the three religions, and established the "Yuhua Society" of the three religions in Penglai. Led Danyang, Changzhen, and Changchun west to Laizhou, and turned into Changsheng Zhenren Liu Chuxuan as a monk, and was called the eldest son. In October, Yuye County Three Religions "Equality Association".

Wang Chongyang, with the outstanding and true and pure "true family style", inherited the Inner Dan Sect of Zhong Lu, Chen Tuan, and Zhang Boduan, which had been flourishing since the Middle and Tang Dynasties, and under the extremely withering conditions of Fu Zheng Dan Dao, he took the unity of the three religions as the sect, and took the double cultivation of life and merit as the cultivation path, and absorbed many factors such as Zen Buddhism's theory of mind and practice methods, and created the Nei Dan Northern Sect, and promoted the Dan Dao in the form of a Taoist sect, so as to formally combine the Dan school and the Taoist school for the first time in the history of the development of Dan Dao. Promote the pure pill method of practicing one's own yin and yang, and use breadth to benefit all sentient beings. Since then, the activities of the Quanzhen disciples to build a palace and recruit disciples have been carried out on an unprecedented scale in the northern land.

It's just that when the Tianxia Dan Dao came out of Luofu, and when the Quanzhen Dao developed in the north, the Southern Song Dynasty also had a Taoist sect dedicated to the cultivation of the Inner Dan, called the Xuandan Sect Southern Sect. This sect is known for its "life before sex" cultivation method. Its Dan method emphasizes "returning to simplicity, controlling complexity with simplicity, and seeking speed in slowness". Most of its representatives are from the south, hence the name Nanzong. "Enlightenment Chapter", "Return to the Source Chapter", "Resurrection Chapter", "Cuixu Chapter" and so on are the main classics of Nanzong. Xuandan Daonan Sect was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan, and its initial inheritance system was Zhang Boduan, Shi Tai, Xue Daoguang, Chen Nan, and Bai Yuchan. Zhang Boduan used Zen Buddhism to realize the realm of Inner Dan and Void, starting from Chen Nan, and concurrently practicing the Shenxiao Sect Lin Lingsu Jinmen Yuke a series of five thunder methods.

Qiongwan Purple Halal White Jade Toad also lives in the Inner Dan in the Thunder Method, so that the practice of the Southern Sect has the characteristics of 'internal refining into Dan and external use into the Dharma', which is said to be the Qi machine in the cultivation, when the Yin and Yang intersect, the mind is in line with the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the natural world, and there are physiological effects such as red face, hot ears, sweating, and black eyes. In addition to building an altar, Bai Yuchan also took the "twenty-four governance" method of the Han Heavenly Master, according to the teacher's family, the people's family said Jing tradition, and Lijing was the place where the sect was built and passed on. The Southern Sect inherited the idea of mixing vulgarity and light and great seclusion in the "Enlightenment of the True Chapter", and also advocated the great seclusion and vulgarity, and did not advocate monkhood, so it naturally had a mass base.

Chen Nan invited his apprentices to go to the market, drunk and full of flesh into a group of fires. Xia Zongyu said in the "Lecture Notes on Enlightenment": If a person with lofty ideals can practice diligently, there is no difference between the noble and the low, and he may as well govern the country and level the world in the court, and it will be a business for farmers and industry in the city. And the white jade toad is also 'unkempt enough to enter the city, and sometimes the green scarf field clothes to travel to the palace to view the wandering Taoist. He once said: 'Therefore I do not want to be strangers to the light of the world. Fish want to be different from the fish, and if you jump off the shore of the water, you will die; The tiger wants to be a different group of tigers, and the mountain is captured when it enters the market.

Dao Guo vs. the Order, even better. Therefore, the development of Quanzhen Dao in the Jin Dynasty was limited, to the early Mengyuan Dynasty, good at judging the situation, choosing the back of the hill chance to go west to the snow mountain, known as the education of Genghis Khan, won the worship, got the golden tiger card, in charge of the world monks. And because Nanzong is a Taoist priest at home and has no intention of pursuing a career, he has never been supported by the imperial court.

In the thirteenth year of Yuan Shizu, Jiangnan was pacified and the whole country was unified. The Mongol massacre caused the greatest disaster in the history of China and the world, but with the summons of Genghis Khan and the worship of Qiu Chuji, and the promotion of Qiu Chuji and his disciples, the Quanzhen Dao developed to its peak. From the time of the Qiu to live in the Changchun Palace, it lasted until Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang were in charge. In the past 30 years, it is difficult to examine in detail how many palaces have been built and how many disciples have been accepted. According to the rough statistics of the palace views recorded in the "Xijin Zhi" and the "Yuan Yi Tongzhi" cited in the "Shuntianfu Chronicles", there are more than 100 palaces in Yanjing and its vicinity, most of which are Quanzhen Taoist palace views, and they are all built during the period from Qiu Chuji to Li Zhichang's teaching.

Secondly, in Hebei and Henan, Li Zhirou and his disciples, according to Qiu Chuji's intention of "establishing a view of people", successively "built 300 districts of large and small nunnery and Guanyin" in Hebei's Daimyo, Cizhou and other places, and turned the degree of Taoism and said that it was. Liu Zhiyuan also "built a palace and established a view, and there were more than 200 institutes" and "more than 3,000 disciples" on Daming Road. Zhao Zhiyuan is also in Hebei Province, "between the great name, magnetism, and phase, there are hundreds of scholars, and there are more than ten temples in the temple". Li Zhiyuan established nunnery in Weizhou, Henan and other places. Secondly, in Shandong and Shanxi, Zhang Zhiyuan was in Shandong, "the main Dongping Yuncheng Baiyun Temple, more than 1,000 disciples, and the temple is called yes". Pan Dechong built the Chunyang Wanshou Palace, one of the three ancestral courts of Quanzhen Dao, in Ruicheng County, Shanxi, commonly known as Yongle Palace. Song Defang took the opportunity of compiling "Daozang" in Pingyang, Shanxi, "still pretending to spare his strength, that is, opening Jiuyang Cave in Laizhou Shenshan and establishing a palace view, from Yanzhi to more than 40 districts." Xue Zhiwei also "has hundreds of disciples", "Liguan is between Hedong Yun and Ying".

Again, in Shaanxi, Gansu region, after Shanqing changed its name to Zhidao, according to the arrangement of Qiu Chuji, long-term activities in Shaanxi Longxian, Fengxiang area, "hundreds of people who seek to be Taoist priests, all set up a temple in Fengxiang, Wang, Long". During the period when Qi Zhiyuan was in charge of Li Zhichang's teaching, he mentioned the teaching affairs of Shaanxi, and once "paid hundreds of disciples and established more than 20 palaces". Feng Zhiheng in 1240 in the year of Gengzi after Yin Zhiping's teaching, Yin Zhiping went to Shaanxi to rebury Wang Chongyang on the way, "from Yan to Qin more than 3,000 miles, where the Taoist palace view, the waste is prosperous, the lack is finished, to more than 100."

Under the call of Qiu Chuji's 'Liguan Duren', after about 30 years, the palace views and disciples of the Quanzhen Tao are all over Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other vast regions. "Qingxu Palace Re-Xianzi Returns to the True Inscription" contains: "The east ends the sea, the south is thin and Hanhuai, and the northwest is a vast desert. "Xiuwu Halal Observation" contains: "From Qiu to the call of the Dragon Court,...... Since then, the person with the yellow crown is the second in the world. The flames were loud and vigorous, agitating Haiyue. "The burial of Qiu in 1228 and the burial of Wang Chongyang in 1241 can be said to be a great review of the power of the whole truth.

When Wang Chongyang was buried, "although the right side of Shaanxi was settled, it was still a border and important place, and the managers and funeral people gathered in all directions, often tens of thousands of people." When the burial mound was placed, "there were more than 10,000 people from all over the world, and there were guards with armor soldiers." Not only that, according to the "Inscription of Grandmaster Yin", when Yin Zhiping went to Shaanxi to build the ancestral court in 1236, "when the right side of Shaanxi was determined, the remnants still had those who had not been left under the fence. Soon, on the way back to the Taoist priest in the clouds, "the Tao passed through Taihang Mountain, and the thieves were taught, and they were all good people." Out of the well, Zhao Wei Qilu, those who ask for their lives are all thanked. The wilderness road is set up with fragrant flowers, looking at the dust to welcome the worshippers, tens of millions of dollars a day, and the tribute mountain is gathered. ”

The Yuan Dynasty realized the unification of the north and the south, which provided the conditions for the Quanzhen Dao originally in the north to spread to the south, and of course also provided the opportunity for the Dandao Nanzong to go north. After that, under the promotion of Nanzong Master Chen Zhixu and others, the two sects finally merged into the Quanzhen Dao after the study of the ancestors' ancestors. Relying on the power of the state, Quanzhen Dao successively merged with Nanzong, and in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, it merged Zhendao, Louguan Dao and part of Jingming Dao, becoming the only one of the Great Danding factions, overshadowing the Zhengyi of the Fu Zheng faction. Since Yuan Chengzong ascended the throne and lifted the ban on Quanzhen Dao, Miao Daoyi, Sun Deyu, Lan Daoyuan, Sun Ludao, Wanyan Deming and others have successively taken charge. Since Miao Dao together, each head of the teaching has been awarded the title of real person, acting as a great master, and knowing the Dan Tao of the Xian Academy. This is a commendation that no other Taoist sect leader has ever received except for the Quanzhen Sect.

After the merger, the Quanzhen Dao became a larger Taoist sect, overshadowing Jiangnan Zhengyi and dominating the Dan Dao of the world. In the above-mentioned situation where the world is full of peach and plums, the evolution of the Quanzhen Dao has branched into many branches, and its authenticity is naturally the "Seven True Schools". That is, the Yuxian faction of the ancestor Ma Yu, the Nanwu faction of the ancestor Tan Chuduan, the Suishan faction of the ancestor Liu Chuxuan, the Longmen faction of the ancestor Qiu Chuji, the Yushan faction of the ancestor Wang Chuyi, the Huashan faction of the ancestor Hao Datong, and the Qingjing faction of the ancestor Sun Fuji, etc.

Among them, the Longmen faction is the most powerful, and even at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Longmen faction was also rejuvenated by Wang Changyue relying on the lord of the country, and the Longmen faction was more prosperous than other factions with thousands of horses. In addition to the seven factions of the Quanzhen lineage, there are some Quanzhen Taoists who form the "Five Ancestors School" in the north and south, namely the Shaoyang faction of the ancestor Wang Xuanfu, the Zhengyang faction of the ancestor Zhong Liquan, the pure Yang faction of the ancestor Lu Dongbin, the Liu Zu faction of the ancestor Liu Haichan, the Chongyang faction of the ancestor Wang Chongyang, and the Wudang faction, the branch carried forward by Zhang Sanfeng in the early Ming Dynasty, the Inner Dandong faction transmitted by Lu Xixing in the Wanli period, and the Inner Danxi faction transmitted by Li Xiyue in the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty, all of which belong to the side line of the Quanzhen Dao.
