In 1572 A.D., the Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan died. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This year, the successor Zhu Lingjun was only 10 years old, but with Zhang Juzheng's auxiliary government, the Ming Dynasty continued to embark on the road of Zhongxing. Mr. Wu Chengen, with his old and weak body, has been working tirelessly. The mood is probably much brighter, and I am full of interest in writing books. However, the excessive amount of work crushed the seventy-year-old man. Wu Chengen is using his last vitality to scrutinize and consider the final draft.

Between 1578 and 1582, Wu Chengen's original "Journey to the West" was finally completed. It is conceivable that after Lao Wu made the preface, when he put down his pen, he was relieved. It is estimated that Mr. Li Chunfang was called, and the old brothers may also drink to celebrate, and they will not return home if they are not drunk.

As soon as this edition was written, Mr. Wu Chengen began to think about how to publish it all over the world. However, Li Chunfang poured cold water on her. It's difficult, it's difficult! Lao Li's suggestion is to let this book slowly circulate among the people through hand-copying. Can't be in a hurry, you Wu Chengen don't want to die? The content of this book contains many taboo historical materials, and if it is published publicly, the Wu family will definitely ......

Lao Wu smiled faintly, at this time, the old man was already alone, his son had already passed away, and his wife had passed away a few years ago, and "Journey to the West" had become the only concern. However, his own body is not good, after all, he is about eighty years old at this time. Wu Chengen didn't insist anymore, after all, he still had relatives and friends.

Time passed bit by bit, who knew that the thunderbolt on a sunny day, a news came, on June 20, 1582, Zhang Juzheng died of sudden illness. Mr. Wu Chengen is also close to running out of oil and has been lying in bed for several months. Hearing the bad news, he struggled to get up, spread pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wanted to write hard. However, I am afraid that before he could write a few words, the old man fell to the ground.

Li Chunfang rushed to hear the news and called out in front of the bed, "Ru Zhong, Brother Ru Zhong!" Chunfang is here. ”

Wu Chengen was in a coma, heard the voice of his old friend, and slowly opened his eyes. His lips chattered for a long time, but he couldn't speak, so he could only look at Li Chunfang and point to "Journey to the West" with his hand......

A few days later, Wu Chengen, a great Confucian figure of the Ming Dynasty, left silently......

The old man was peaceful in his heart, but there was a trace of regret......

Li Chunfang inherited the legacy of his old friend, regardless of his old and weak body, and made up for the school to travel to the west. I have mixed feelings in my heart, what is it like, maybe except for Lao Li himself, but no one knows.

Two years have passed, and this old man is also coming to the end of his life. Coming to the center of the courtyard on crutches, he looked up to the sky and said, "Brother Ruzhong, I am fortunate not to disgrace my life, but I can do my best." The traces of Uncle and Zisheng have all been filled. The journey to the west can be ...... to an end" (At this point, the history of the Ming Dynasty of the Journey to the West from 1328 to 1583 was finalized. ）

A few months later, Li Chunfang ordered someone to send a letter to Chen Wenzhu, and only this father could fulfill the wish of himself and his old friend. Chen Wenzhu was full of contradictions, but after reading the signature of the book, Huayang Dongtian Master School, he could imagine Lao Li's expectations, so he carefully put it away.

In 1592, Chen Wenzhu lived up to his expectations and instructed Tang He to publish and publish the book - "Journey to the West in Official Characters", and personally wrote the preface (for the sake of insurance, Lao Chen replaced the preface written by Wu Chengen himself), and Jinling Shidetang was in charge of Zixing. The book was published, and the first edition was quickly sold out. However, Tang Hezheng's heart was always entangled with clouds, and after a few years, he returned to his former residence and never came back to the mountain.

Shidetang's "Journey to the West" should be a solitary version. Since then, there have been two kinds of reprints (which can be regarded as pirated copies), namely Jinling Rongshoutang Zixing and Shulin Xiong Yunbin Heavy Edition. However, I don't know what year and month the release of "Journey to the West" should actually be a synthesis of the above three versions.

Then, there may only be four versions that are really closest to the original (Huayang Cave Heavenly Master School). However, the sea is crossing, and we can only see "Journey to the West, which is newly carved like an official board......

Caesar sighed, "The sea of books is vast and profound, deepest and wider. Ruofu Lao Dan's "Tao Te Ching", there is no one in the world like the best; Only the two may be a little short and long between the elegant and the vulgar. said that Tang is like a sage, and it is incomplete to discern it. The "Records of the Historians" lies in the preservation of the truth, and Sima Gongqian was willing to suffer great humiliation for it, and it has been published for more than 30 years; the "Tongjian" has an orthodox reputation, and Sima Gongguang served the Song lord at the expense of distorting it. "Journey to the West" is neither true nor true, if it is like looking at the moon in the fog and looking at the flowers in the water, if it is not true, it is the truth that it is hidden by ambition. The power of sarcasm is better than a sword halberd, and it is advisable to be cautious and cautious when looking at its books. ”

As mentioned in the four continents, it is said that the East Shengshen Continent, the West Niuhe Continent, the South Ganbu Continent, and the North Julu Continent. In Lao Wu's eyes, or in fact, this is the case. Those who are in the West Niuhe Continent are also in the Western Regions, those who are in the Luzhou in the north are also in the Northern Yuan Dynasty (later Tatar, Warat, and Wuliangha), those who are in the South Ganbu Continent are also in the Central Plains of China, and those who are in the East are in the Shenzhou, and those who are in the south of the Yangtze River in China. In Journey to the West, what exactly are "Dan" and "Tang monk meat"? The secret and connotation of Tang monks' scriptures...... There are too many secrets in Journey to the West, and let's read and solve them.

Attached: Preface to the original book of Journey to the West

Written by Moling Chen Yuanzhi

Taishi Gong said, "Isn't it great that the way of heaven is magnificent! Tan Yan can also resolve disputes." Zhuangzi said, "In." Therefore, "the way is evil, but it does not exist, and the evil words do not exist." "If you must ask for it with Zhuang Ya's words, you will almost leave the book "Journey to the West". I don't know who did it, or it is said that "the kingdom of the prince of Huang is today", or it is said that it is "the disciple of the eight princes", or it is said that "the king is self-controlled". Yu glances at its meaning of the stilting and funny male, and the words are diffuse. In the old narrative, after reading it, I don't have the name of the author of his surname, so I don't think that the words of the Qiuli are the same as the words of the Qiuli? his "Narrative" thinks that Sun and Xun are also the gods of the heart, and the horse and the horse are also the gallop of the mind; the eight precepts, the eight precepts are also the wood of the liver qi; the sand, the quicksand, the water of the kidney qi; the three Tibets, the three treasures of the hidden gods, the hidden sounds, and the hidden qi, and the three Tibets of the hidden spirit, the Tibetan voice, and the hidden qi, and the three Tibets that are the lord of the Guo; the demons, the demons think that the mouth, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and terror are the obstacles to the reversal of illusions. Therefore, the devil is born from the heart, and the heart is also taken by the heart. That's why the heart is used to control the demons, and the demons are repaid. It is also reasonable to return to the beginning, that is, the heart has nothing to take, so it is thought that the Tao is the ear. He thought that the number of the Great Dan was also born in the east and the west, so the west was the discipline. He thought that the turbid world could not be Zhuang language, so he entrusted the snake to the floating world. The snake can't be taught, so the subtle words are reasonable. The words of the Tao can not be vulgar, so the prodigal laughter and abuse are used in porcelain. Jokes can't be seen in the world, so gossip is analogous to the meaning. Therefore, his words are uneven and impressive, absurd and absurd, and unprovoked, while Tan Yan has the heart of the author and the meaning of arrogance. Tang Guanglu bought the book, and the strange, and the good deeds were ordered for it, and the volume was ranked, and there were more than 100,000 words in 20 volumes, and the narrative was full. Yu Wei Taishi, the meaning of the lacquer garden, the existence of the Tao, do not want to be wasted, the situation of the worried? Therefore, the talk is to embellish its anecdote "Narrative", do not want its ambition to be annihilated, and so that the people of the future have a view, and forget its words. Or say, "This Dongye's words are not the will of a gentleman." If you think that history is not believed, if you think that the son is untrustworthy, and if you think that the word is close to falsehood. I am a disgrace to my son. Yu said, "No, no! No, no! The son thinks that the history of the son is all believed in evil? The son of the son is all evil? The history of the son is all evil in the middle of the way? The rest of the way is determined, so it is not appropriate to take the view of the avenue. With the grand view of heaven and earth, what is not there? Therefore, those who see the wrong with the cover are not also, and those who see the wrong with me are not either. People are not people, people are not people, people are not people, people are not people, and people are not people. Therefore, it must survive later. So it coexists. "Or maybe it's a show. It belongs to Zicheng, and it is crowned by the book.

The fourth day of the summer end moon is also.
