Chapter 12: The Controversy over the Place of Peng Zu's Burial
readx;? According to the record of "Wuyi Mountain Chronicles": Peng Wu and Peng Yi grew up in the ground in their lives, and when a spring breeze blows, they can call out to their fathers and mothers, and when the spring breeze blows twice, they can stand when they send spring rain to water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Peng Zu soaked water with three pieces of spring tea grown by himself for them to drink, and they could run on the ground. It can be inferred from all sources that they are a pair of Yisheng brothers and are the ancestors of the Peng people in Fujian. Later generations named this mountain Wuyi Mountain, which has been used until now. Legend has it that when Peng Zu lived in seclusion in Wuyi Mountain, he taught people to reclaim wasteland, plant grain and cotton, flowers and fruits, tea, and dig wells for water. It is said that the tea he planted tasted fragrant and pure, attracting the Seven Immortals - Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Uncle Cao Guo, He Xiangu, Li Tiegui, Han Xiangzi, and Lan Caihe. They unanimously agreed to give him a life span of 880. Fujian Wuyi Mountains, adjacent to Jiangxi Province, the main peak Huanggang Mountain, 2158 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in Fujian Province. The remains of Peng Zu and his son still exist, there are tombs and stone tablets, among which the names of Peng Wu and Peng Yi can be seen on one of the stone tablets stored in the Wuyi Mountain Palace. Wuyi Mountain has become a national tourist mecca. A modern "Wuyi Villa" was built under the Manting Peak where Peng Zu lived, with gardens, winding paths, pavilions and pavilions.
According to legend, Peng Zu lived in seclusion in Pingmo Mountain (later renamed Peng Death Mountain, now changed to Peng Zu Mountain) to avoid the war and died until he died. The people of Pengshan, Sichuan believe that "Peng Zu" means "Peng Zu's family died here on the weekend", in fact, this statement is not credible, first: Peng Zu is a person in the Yaoshun period, not a person from the weekend (the last year of the Zhou Dynasty), and the so-called "weekend Peng Zu" and "Peng Zu Keng" are obviously not the same person; second: the reason why Peng Zu is called Peng Zu is because he was sealed in Pengcheng, and his way is ancestor, and he got "Peng" after being sealed in Pengcheng This surname, which has nothing to do with Pengshan County, Pengshan County is a name that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty; third: Pengshan County, originally known as Longshan County, was renamed Pengshan County because of the crime of Li Longji, the word "Peng" in Pengshan County originated from Peng Death Mountain, and the "Peng" of Peng Death Mountain originated from Cen Peng; Fourth, Peng Death means Cen Peng died, and it has nothing to do with Peng Zu. "Ten Paths" said: Peng Death Mountain, the Later Han Dynasty general Cen Peng Zheng Gongsun Shu, died in the battle on this mountain, so it is called Peng Death Mountain. As for the tomb of Peng Zu in Pengshan, it has long been questioned by scholars - the reprint of the Qing Jiaqing edition of "Sichuan Tongzhi" contains the poems of Su Shi's brothers. Su Shi believes that "the burial clothes of the descendants here". Su Zhe's poem: "The world-weary people are gone, and the empty grave talks about the reburial of clothes." Su Shi and Su Zhe are both masters of literature and history, and they all agree that the Pengshan Pengzu Tomb is only an empty tomb for future generations to bury their clothes. Yang Shoujing also said when he made a note on the "Water Jing Note": "The "Continuation of the Han Dynasty" Wuyang, and the "Note" quotes "Yizhou Ji" with Peng Zuzuka. However, Pengcheng is the motherland of ancient Peng, and Pengcheng is also said to be the ancestral mound of Pengcheng, why is there a mound in this place? Yang Shoujing thinks that the tomb of Peng Zu in Pengshan is just a popular tradition, and Li Daoyuan also thinks that "Peng Zu, Peng Zucheng is also." "Peng Zu is Peng Cheng, and the two are inseparable. Modern historian Gu Jiegang pointed out bluntly: "Lao Peng is a Shu person, just Chang Xuan's words." He confused Lao Peng with Peng Zu. And Pengzu's monuments are far more in Xuzhou, Jiangsu than in Shuzhong, so they can't be grabbed. Gu Jiegang's words can be said to be in one sentence, the Peng mound in Pengshan, Sichuan is actually "the tomb of the merchant doctor Lao Peng", so who is "Lao Peng"? Yan Kejun's "Immortal Dao": "Lao Peng, I don't know who it is...... Or the tribe of Peng's motherland. It can be seen that the tomb of Lao Peng in Pengshan County is most likely the tomb of Lao Peng, a descendant of Peng Zu, and now Pengshan County's behavior of snatching "Peng Zu's hometown" has become a farce.
He was sealed in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou) and established the Great Peng Kingdom, and his descendants took the fiefdom Pengcheng as their surname, and honored him as Peng Zu without mentioning his real name. Peng Zu is one of the pioneers of pre-Qin Taoism, and is revered as the originator of cooking, the ancestor of qigong (the originator of Chinese martial arts culture), the founder of Fangzhongshu (the earliest master of sexuality in China), and the ancestor of longevity (the first health practitioner). Representative works: China's first health care book "Peng Zujing".
"Liezi Li's Life" "Peng Zu's wisdom is not above Yao Shun and lives eight hundred" said: "Peng Zu, the ancestor of the surname Peng." Peng's surname: Da Peng, Feng Wei, Zhu Ji. Da Peng calendar Yu Xia, in Shang for the uncle, Wu Ding's world perished, so it is said that Peng Zu is 800 years old, said that Peng Guo died for 800 years, not real and immortal. This is a clear illustration of the situation. The so-called Peng Zu is eight hundred years old, which is actually the number of years of existence of the Great Peng Clan. Peng Zu's descendants established three vassal states during the Xia Dynasty: Da Peng (Peng's ancestral business), Feng Wei, and Zhu Ji.
After the death of Peng Zu, his descendant Peng (Guo) Earl (Jue) Shou (surnamed Peng Mingshou) sent troops to help Emperor Qi quell the Wuguan Rebellion in the later years of Emperor Qi, although Peng Shou made great contributions, but did not get the reward he deserved, and there is no record of them in the history of the Xia Dynasty after that.
By the time of the Shang Dynasty, the Great Peng State began to be active in the early history of the Shang Dynasty, and from the perspective of the close relationship between the two countries, the Peng vassal states played an important role in the process of the Shang Dynasty's overthrow of the Xia Dynasty.
Peng Bokao of the Shang Dynasty, Lao Peng and Wu Xian, the virtuous doctors who entered the Shang Dynasty, are all descendants of Peng Zu.
Because the clan of Peng Zu is good at health preservation, there are many long-lived people in the clan, and they are famous for this, so they gradually produced legends such as Peng Zu's longevity of 800 and spread it to future generations. Therefore, the clan of Pengzu can be said to be a representative and famous longevity family in ancient times.
Peng Zu had a great influence in history. Confucius held him in high esteem, and pre-Qin thinkers such as Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and LΓΌ Buwei all had remarks about Pengzu. "Zhuangzi Deliberately" once regarded him as a representative figure of guiding and cultivating form. Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci Tianwen" also recorded that "Peng Keng poured the pheasant emperor He feasted, and how could he seek longevity by Shouyong Duofu?", which means that he is good at food therapy, so he has a long life.
There are also records about him in historical books such as "Historical Records", and Taoism even regards Peng Zu as one of the pioneers and founders, and many Taoist classics preserve Peng Zu's health preservation legacy. The Jin Dynasty physician Ge Hong wrote the "Legend of the Immortals" in the special Peng Zuli biography, the king at that time sent someone to ask him for advice, he only said: "I was born in the womb, lost my mother at the age of three, was rebelled by the dogs, and was exiled from the Western Regions for more than 100 years." With less withering, he lost forty-nine wives, lost fifty-four sons, suffered several sorrows, was wounded by harmony, and his honor and defense were scorched, and he was afraid that he would not survive the world. What is heard is shallow and not enough publicity. β
In the pre-Qin period, Peng Zu was an immortal in people's hearts. In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang's "Legend of the Immortals" included Peng Zu in the immortal world and called him the Lie Immortals, and gradually became a mythological character.
Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection": "Gu Zhi is dead and alive as illusory, and Qi Peng is vain. The "Peng" in it refers to Peng Zu. In addition, the popular Xilian "Su Cai Guo Fu, Ji Zi Peng Nian" is Su Dongpo's talent, Guo Ziyi's blessing, Ji Chang's many sons, and Peng Zu's longevity.
Yang Jiong, a native of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Ting Ju Fu": "Descend to the order of Emperor Wen, cultivate the art of Peng Zu, protect nature and God, and this will be auspicious." "Taiping Guangji" wrote about him: "Born in the womb, lost his mother at the age of three, encountered the rebellion of the dogs, and was exiled from the Western Regions for more than 100 years." and withered, and lost forty-nine wives, and fifty-four sons, and many were afflicted with sorrow, and were wounded in peace."
