481. The Berlin Zen Temple is suspicious
In two hours, everyone followed the signs to the gate of Zhaozhou Berlin Zen Temple, and all the vehicles were parked!
Xu Le hurriedly helped the two gentlemen to get out of the car, and then walked a few steps to the front of the mountain gate, where a row of monks greeted him, and in the middle was a thin and energetic old man in his sixties.
The old Rangxiu hurriedly saluted Xu Lehe, "The poor monk is exact, Xu Shizhu"!
Xu Le hurriedly invited his husband, teacher and two senior brothers, as well as the two masters of Cuo Leng and Lengcuo, to introduce Huijing to Rangxiu, Huijing Rangxiu introduced a forty-year-old Rangxiu next to him, called Haiming, Xu Le hurriedly saluted eleven times!
Xu Le told the two masters, "This is the proud of the virtual master, close to the master for more than ten years, is the sincerity of the Shaosi a few days ago, the senior brother of the seal to let Xiu", the two of them hurriedly greeted the salute, Huijing let the show did not expect that Xu Le would take the two monks of the tower temple with him, and he was very happy to welcome everyone to go inside!
Just finished the evening class, it was the time to eat fast, Xu Le and others were invited into the last of the lay hall to arrange to stay, and then everyone washed their faces and was invited to eat fast, these days in the Shaosi to eat a little accustomed to the meal, the taste of eating is also become, everyone ate a lot of rice, and finally Huijing let Xiu accompany, visited the Puguang Temple, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Guanyin Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Meditation Hall, the Huaiyun Building, the Kaishan Building, the Huixian Building, the Zhiyue Building, the Yunshui Building, the Xiangji Building, the Ancient Buddha Nunnery, the Guanfang, the Buddhist Academy, the Tea Fragrance Building, the Wenshu Pavilion, Fuxian Pavilion, Ten Thousand Buddha Tower, etc., Xu Le can see the Buddha in one, that Sanjie and the wrong Leng, Lengcuo three people are to worship when they see the Buddha, plop plop bow kowtow, listen to everyone a little trembling!
Then everyone was taken to a pagoda, and Xu Le looked at the "Specially Gifted Great Yuan Zhaozhou Ancient Buddha Zhenjiguang Motherland Teacher Tower" written on it. Brick and wood structure, solid, seven floors, 26.7 meters high, simple and elegant modeling, exquisite workmanship.
He is now more convinced that the seven-story pagoda is theoretically the highest number of floors in China, and the special significance of more than seven floors must be there, even if the ancient Buddha of Zhaozhou is a high-ranking monk and a great Buddha sect, the dragon elephant is only seven floors!
Xu Le respectfully bowed to this pagoda three times, he respected people more than Buddha! Everyone turned around the pagoda three times, and then Xu Le saw an ancient cypress forest next to it, walked in, and touched each of them, yes, it must have been 1,800 years, a trace of wood gas entered Xu Le's body, and constantly strengthened Xu Le's breath, Xu Le felt that Guan Mu was always stealing his own things to eat!
But he doesn't care, the only fear is that he doesn't know what this thing is, why it suddenly got better and suddenly broke, Master Huijing looked at Xu Le and smiled, "Master Xu, I have prepared tomorrow's send-off gift for you!"
Xu Le scratched his head and smiled, everyone laughed, Xu Le had nothing else, just books and trees!
Then everyone was invited to the meditation hall, and Master Huijing told everyone about the Berlin Temple and the ancient Buddha of Zhaozhou!
Introduced by Haiming Rangxiu, Berlin Zen Temple is located in the southeast corner of Zhaozhou, and the world's first bridge "Zhaozhou Bridge" is far away, everyone can get up early tomorrow morning to see the first rays of the sun rise on Zhaozhou Bridge is still very interesting, everyone nods!
Berlin Zen Temple was first built in the Jian'an period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and was called Guanyin Temple in ancient times; The Southern Song Dynasty is Yong'an Temple, the Jin Dynasty is called Berlin Zen Temple, and it is called Berlin Zen Temple since the Yuan Dynasty.
There are many high-ranking monks here, and the famous westward master has come here to study the "Theory of Enlightenment" from Master Daoshen before going west to learn the scriptures;
In the late Tang Dynasty, the great master of the Zen school from the Zen master, that is, the popular name of the "ancient Buddha of Zhaozhou", eighty to here, stationed in Xi for forty years, the great practice of law, one hundred and twenty years old, the formation of far-reaching "Zhaozhou Gate Wind", so it has become an important ancestral court in the history of Chinese Zen school.
In the Jin Dynasty, it was once changed to the Vinaya Dojo, and there were five generations of Vinaya masters who promoted the precepts here for 50 years, the most famous of which was the lawyer of Quanzong.
At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Guiyun Zhixuan Zen Master of the Dharma Transmission Linji Sect presided over the Dharma seat, and the Berlin Zen Temple was transformed into Zen, and the sect was greatly revitalized;
There is a Yuan generation, there are Yuanming Yuexi Zen Master here, Lu Yun Xingxing Zen Master Xinghua, Berlin Zen Temple by the weather magnificent, become the center of Buddhism in the Yanzhao area;
Xu Le listened to everyone chatting, and flipped through the books that Master Huijing gave him, all of which were written or compiled by Master Huijing himself, the Buddhist school in the world!
Xu Le looked at these words and short stories very interestingly, but Xu Le felt that there was a big difference between advocating cause and Ming in the Tibetan area, and the Zen school in the mainland had great deficiencies in this regard!
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Le asked everyone to rest first, and tomorrow morning you can get up early to go to Zhaozhou Bridge to see, and then, he and Wrong Leng, Lengcuo, Sanjie and others and Huijing, Haiming and the two let Xiu drink tea and chat together, chatting about some public cases about Zhaozhou Rangxiu, Huijing asked Xiu to Xu Le to talk about some things about the virtual master, the two masters of the wrong Leng told some of the content of the teachings of the Tibetan soil area, Xu Le interjected from time to time, and the guests talked very happily!
Finally, it was almost eleven o'clock, Xu Le and Huijing, Haiming left a phone call, Huijing mentioned that his senior brother was in Pengcheng, if you have the opportunity, you can discuss it, Xu Le felt that Huijing was very open-minded, and mentioned the matter of Zen and Shakyamuni, and did not say too much, but for Xu Le's proposal to go out, Xu Le also hoped that Huijing would let Xiu write more things and go outside to talk about it!
Hai Ming accompanied Hui Jing to let Xiu go back, Hui Jing said to Hai Ming, "This Xu Shi Master's understanding of Buddhist scriptures is that he knows a lot of things, the second is that he has deep thinking, and the third is that he has clear logic, which is not something that ordinary people can contend with.
Heming rangxiu nodded and agreed, also looking happy and convinced, "There are actually two great masters in the Tibetan region who accompany him all the way, even if he doesn't say that he has attainments in Buddhism, even if he is a person, he must be recognized, not to mention the information from the west, this donor is indeed a person who does things!"
Xu Le turned on the phone and wrote, "Doubtful Discussion on the Historical Records of Xia Benji"!
Xu Le's biggest headache now is not the actual ruins, from the ruins of Emperor Yao to the Great Shang There must be this dynasty, whether it is called Xia or not, but there are some problems in the literature, Xu Le is always vague, and feels that the literature foundation is not solid enough!
The current archaeological exploration of Xia culture in the academic community is based on the premise of the historical framework of the three dynasties of the Historical Records and the reliability of the Xia Benji. The three-generation framework of the "Records of the Historians" can be summarized as: the beginning of the five emperors, the succession of three generations, linear development, and a monistic structure. According to the three-generation framework of the "Historical Records", it is not difficult to find that some records of the "Historical Records" are quite bizarre. He writes about several strange phenomena:
First of all, there is a legend of Xuanyao at the beginning of "Yin Benji", and there is a myth of Jiang Yuanjian's footprints of giants at the beginning of "Zhou Benji".
Secondly, according to the "Historical Records", Chinese history has entered the hereditary stage of father-to-son transmission during the Xia Dynasty. However, the Yin people, who prospered in the Xia, adopted a succession system based on "brother to brother". From the perspective of social development stage, how to explain this phenomenon with the characteristics of "historical reversal" recorded in the "Historical Records"?
Again, according to the "Chinese Lu Yu Shang", the ancestor of the Xia Hou clan is Zong Yu, the Yin ancestor is Zong Tang, and the Zhou ancestor is King Wen and King Zong Wu. Therefore, "Historical Records of Yin Benji" begins with a deed, and the 14th century comes to Chengtang and Xia, and then there is the world of Yin Shang; "Zhou Benji" begins with Ji, and the sixteenth generation came to King Wu's war, and then opened the world of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The "ancestor" and "zong" of the second generation of Yin are seen in their respective "Benji", and Taishi's "Xia Benji" is quite peculiar, which starts with Dayu, but puts the ancestor of the Xia people in the "Five Emperors Benji".
Finally, the "Historical Records of Heavenly Officials" said that the number of days in the past was Xihe in Tang Yu, and Kunwu in Xiaxia; According to "Xia Benji" and "Yin Benji", there are both Xihe in Zhongkang and Kunwu in the summer time. So, what is the relationship between Kunwu and Xihe? Sima Qian did not explain this.
Xu Le then wrote that the genealogy of the Xia king's lineage corresponds to the age of Erlitou and Wangchenggang, and there are some doubts, is there a certain overlap? He had heard a saying about the Sumerian civilization, as if many kings were a synthesis of various places, and they were originally parallel, and the last life was made vertical, and this time there were thousands of more years, and finally found that it did not correspond to the social era at that time!
So is there such a situation in Daxia, Xu Le raised this latest question?
Xu Le turned around and prepared to finish reading all the books he lived in, to see what information was still missing, so that Ah Zhong could buy it as soon as possible!
Then he began to write the three-point articles "The Bronze Road: A Brief Introduction to the Cultural Exchange between the Ancient East and the West", "Yao Shun and Yan Huang - "Historical Records: The Five Emperors" and National Identity", and "China in the Bronze Age World System", in which the national identity has basically been written, and he has added some of the things he saw, especially the content of Tao Temple, Temple Digou and Yangshao, and feels more full!
Then he began to write two articles about bronze, these two are not particularly comprehensive, his research on the Bronze Age is not particularly deep, more based on the memory of some knowledge without his own research, so the writing is decent, and it can be revised later, but first this should be the end, the province forgot, the main thing is that these two articles are more of an introductory article, which is of little significance!
Before five o'clock in the morning, I finally finished the four articles, Xu Le clapped his hands, put away the computer, then took a shower, walked out with Guan Mu and Xiaobai, stood in this temple, felt the quiet world, and then saw Qing Ning walk out, standing next to Xu Le, everyone got up one after another, and several old people got up at half past five!
Huijing let Xiu let Master Haiming take everyone to Zhaozhou Bridge, now Zhaozhou Bridge is no longer in the car, used as a landscape, people can walk on it, under the leadership of Master Haiming, the scenic spot personnel have not yet gotten up, was called up, everyone walked in together, in fact, there is nothing to see, but the reputation is too great!
Xu Le almost vomited when he looked at the inscription on the side of the bridge, mainly for the payment, can you not write the inscription anywhere?
Hey, Xia is suspicious, blind inscription!
Xu Le is not interested at all!
All the good spots have been ruined!
