442, "Tao Te Ching"

On the bank of the Wenliang River in the east of Nanyang City, there is a medical shrine, which is built to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhongjing Mingji, born in 150 A.D. and died in 219 A.D., was a native of Nanyang County. This man is a skilled physician and has written extensively. The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and "The Essentials of the Golden Kui", which were collected and sorted out by later generations, are particularly famous. This medical shrine is divided into two courtyards, the main courtyard has a mountain gate, a middle hall, two houses, and the partial courtyard has a medical holy well, a medical holy bridge, a Suwen pavilion, an inner scripture building, etc. On the left side of the gate, there is a tablet of "the hometown of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing", 10 meters inside the gate is the tomb of Zhang Zhongjing, and the tomb stands in front of the tomb of "the tomb of Zhang Zhongjing, the saint of Changsha in the Eastern Han Dynasty". Behind the tomb, there is a nave, a large hall, and there are three corridors on both sides. After the liberation, it was greatly renovated and set up a memorial hall of Zhang Zhongjing to display his life and medical achievements.

Speaking of the great astronomer, mathematician, inventor, geographer, scientist and writer Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was born in 78 A.D. and died in 139 A.D. That is, today's people from Shiqiao Town, Nanyang County. One of the five saints of Nanyang, together with Sima Xiangru, Yangxiong, and Ban Gu, he is known as the four masters of Han Fu. It is the son of the Taoist Taoist Sect of Qingcheng Mountain, and the leader of the sect is passed on to Zhang Heng, called the heir. Heng died, and then passed on to Zhang Lu, the grandson of Daoling, who was called a teacher. Zhang Heng died, and his tomb was built in Shiqiao Town, Nanyang County, today. Around the tomb is a brick road, and there is a wall, planted with pine trees, flowers and trees fragrant. In front of the tomb, there is a monument of "Han Zhengshangshu Zhang Pingzi's Tomb", which is a martyr's soul that has been sleeping here for 800 and 1,000 years!

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Zhang Heng": Zhang Heng's character is Pingzi, and he is also from Nanyang and Xi'e. Heng Shaoshan belongs to the literature, swims in the three auxiliaries, because of the Beijing teacher, the view of Taixue, then through the five classics, through the six arts. Although he is above the world, he has no arrogance. is often calm and quiet, and it is not easy to hand over to the laity.

Yongyuanzhong, filial piety and honesty are not good, and even the public mansion is not enough. The world has been peaceful for a long time, from the prince and below, it is all extravagant. Heng Nai planned to make "Erjing Fu" for Bangu's "Liangdu", because of irony. Thinking about the Fu will be completed in ten years. The great general Deng Qiu is very talented, and he should not be recalled.

Hengshan is ingenious, especially thinking about the astronomical lunisolar calendar. Antiya heard that Heng was good at art, and the characteristics of the bus were worshiped in Langzhong, and then moved to Taishi Ling. Therefore, he studied the core yin and yang, made the right of the magic machine, made the armillary sphere, and wrote "Lingxian" and "Calculation of Recklessness", which was detailed.

At the beginning of Emperor Shun, it was reverted to Taishi Ling. Heng does not admire the world, and the officials who live in it do not migrate for many years. Since leaving the historical post, he has returned in five years. In the first year of Yangjia, the wind and ground motion instrument were rebuilt. With fine bronze casting, the diameter of the members is eight feet, the cover is uplifted, the shape is like a wine honor, decorated with the shape of the turtle and the bird and beast in the seal, there are all pillars, eight roads by the side, Shi Guan, there are eight dragons outside the machine, the first steel pill, there is a toad under it, and the mouth is open. Its teeth are ingenious, all hidden in the respect, covering the boundless. If there is a ground movement, the respect will vibrate the dragon, the machine will spit out pills, and the toad will hold it. The sound of the vibrating voice stirs the Yang, and the waiter is therefore aware. Although one dragon starts, and the seven songs do not move, looking for its aspect is where the earthquake is. Prove it with things, and fit like God. From the book record, there is no other. Taste a dragon machine and don't feel moved, and the Jingshi scholars blame it for having no signs. A few days later, the earthquake in Longxi, so they all obeyed. Since then, it has been the beginning of the history of the historians. Current political affairs are gradually depleted, power is shifted to the bottom, and the balance is neglected. Later, in the service, the emperor was in the curtain, and he was sarcastic.

At the beginning of Yonghe, out of the river. When the king was arrogant and did not abide by the constitution; How heroic and right, a total of misdeeds. Heng got off the car, ruled majesticly, rectified the law, knew the name and surname of the traitorous party, collected poultry for a while, and was solemn up and down, which was called political science. After three years of observation, he begged for bones and worshiped Shangshu. At the age of sixty-two, Yonghe died in the fourth year.

The easy-to-understand text on it should be like this: Zhang Heng, whose name is Pingzi, is a native of Xi'e County, Nanyang County. Zhang Heng was good at writing articles when he was young, and he went to the "Sanfu" area to study, and took the opportunity to enter Luoyang and study in Taixue, so he knew the Five Classics and the Six Arts, although his talent was higher than that of ordinary people, but he was not proud and arrogant. He always had a steady demeanor, a calm and serene demeanor, and did not like to associate with worldly people.

During the Yongyuan period, he was elected as filial piety, but he should not be recommended; He was repeatedly called up by the government, but he did not take office. At this time, the society has been peaceful for a long time, from princes and nobles to ordinary officials, there is no one who is not overly extravagant. Zhang Heng then imitated Ban Gu's "Liangdu Fu" and wrote "Erjing Fu", using it to satirize and persuade the imperial court. This article, which he carefully conceived and polished, took ten years to complete. The general Deng Qiu thought that his talent was outstanding, and he repeatedly recruited him, but he did not answer the call.

Zhang Heng is good at ingenuity in instrument manufacturing, especially in astronomical meteorology and calendar calculation. Emperor An of the Han Dynasty often heard that he was good at the study of mathematics, so he ordered the bus to recruit him and appoint him as Langzhong. Twice promoted to Taishi Ling. Therefore, Zhang Heng meticulously studied and assessed the study of yin and yang, including various kinds of knowledge of astronomical and meteorological calendars, incisively studied the correct principles of measuring astronomical instruments, made armillary spheres, and wrote books such as "Lingxian" and "Theory of Calculation", which were extremely detailed.

In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng was transferred twice and became the post of Taishi Ling. Zhang Heng did not tend to be attached to those dignitaries at that time, and the official positions he held were always not promoted for many years. After five years of his departure from Taishi Lingshang, he returned here. In the first year of Emperor Shun Yangjia, Zhang Heng made the wind and ground motion instrument. This geodynamic instrument is cast in pure copper, with a diameter of 8 feet, and the upper and lower parts are covered together, and the center is convex, looking like a large wine bottle. The exterior is decorated with seal characters and patterns of mountain turtles, birds and beasts. There is a thick copper pillar in the center of the interior, and eight slides extend around the copper pillar, and a hub is also installed to dial the moving parts. There are eight dragons outside. Each of the dragon's mouths contains a copper pill, and there is a toad under the dragon's head, with its mouth open, ready to catch the copper pills spit out from the dragon's mouth. The pivot and parts of the instrument are exquisitely manufactured, hidden in the decanter-shaped instrument, and covered so tightly that there are no gaps. If there is an earthquake, the dragon outside the instrument will vibrate, the mechanism will be activated, the dragon will spit out copper pills from its mouth, and the toad below will catch it. The sound of the copper pill striking was crisp and loud, and the people waiting for the machine learned that there had been an earthquake. When the earthquake struck, only one dragon's mechanism was activated, and the other seven dragon heads did not move at all. If you look in the direction of the vibrating faucet, you will know the location of the earthquake. The instruments are tested by the actual earthquake, and they are consistent with each other, and they are as good as gods. From the records of ancient books, there has never been such a thing. Once, a dragon mechanism was activated, but Luoyang did not feel the earthquake, and the scholars in the capital were surprised that it did not come true this time. A few days later, the person who delivered the documents at the post station came, proving that there was indeed an earthquake in the Longxi area, and everyone was amazed by the wonderfulness of the ground motion instrument. From then on, the imperial court instructed historians to record the location of each earthquake according to the geodynamic instrument. At that time, the politics were dark and the central power was transferred downward, so Zhang Heng wrote to the emperor to state these things. Later, he was promoted to a servant, and the emperor let him enter the palace, where he was around and gave opinions on the political affairs of the state.

In the early years of Emperor Yonghe of Han Shun, Zhang Heng was transferred from the capital and served as the prime minister of the king of Hejian. At that time, the king of Hejian was arrogant and extravagant, and did not abide by the rules and regulations; There are also many wealthy families who act together with the king of the river. After Zhang Heng took office, he governed strictly, rectified the legal system, secretly found out the name of the traitorous party, arrested and detained at the same time, so he was in awe and respect, and praised political clarity. Zhang Heng served in the Hejian phase for three years, wrote to the imperial court, asked to resign and go home, and the imperial court appointed him as a scholar. Zhang Heng lived to be sixty-two years old and died in the fourth year of Yonghe.

We can only introduce the legendary celebrities and deeds of Nanyang City here, and the hero Murong Tianshui (yes harmless) only stayed here for one day and one night, so that he could continue to march in the direction of Pingdingshan and Xuchang on the second day.

Xuchang is the former capital of Cao Wei at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is said that the story of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's "Xu Tian Hunting" took place here. Later, in the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in 200 AD, Cao Cao captured Guan Yu in the east, worshiped as a partial general, and treated each other with courtesy, and gave a mansion. Guan Yu divided the house into two courtyards, the imperial sister-in-law lived in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard herself. The place where he read "Spring and Autumn" at night was called "Spring and Autumn Building" by later generations.

This is a bit of Xudu's historical deeds, and Murong Tianshui has long consulted it from the annals. Fortunately, now that he has visited the old capital, he can have an unobstructed view of the holy land of the ages. He wandered and watched on the shore of a clear lake, only to see the flowers and willows on the embankment, and the fish playing with lotus roots in the water. However, he had not yet arrived at the hometown of Xudu, so he had to decide to leave this fascinating scenery and prepare to visit the monuments!

After questioning passers-by, Murong Tianshui finally groped for the ancient city of Cao Wei. But to his regret, the original castle has been destroyed, and only the remains remain. Its inner city is the imperial city, the ruins of the palace, vividly, brick and tile fragments can be seen everywhere. The outer city, which is about 5 kilometers long, winds and undulates like a small hill, and is said to be a place where the cultural layers from the Neolithic period to the pre-Qin and Han dynasties are superimposed. The original temple of Emperor Xian of Han in the city no longer exists. There is Yuxiu platform in the southwest corner of the city, 15 meters high, 200 square meters wide, it is the altar of the Han Emperor to sacrifice heaven and earth. There is the tomb of Emperor Xian of Han at 5 kilometers from Taixi, and there are the tombs of Zhang and Pan in the south. 6 kilometers north of the city, the five mounds are towering, it is the tomb of the five sisters of Queen Fu, commonly known as the five women's mounds. There is Zhang Fei Temple in the northwest of the ancient city, the temple is on the uplifted high ground, there are wind and rain platforms in the temple, the climate changes cloudy and sunny, the dry and wet on the stone are distinct, so that you can observe the weather, it is really a natural wonder! 15 kilometers north of the ancient city, there is a deer shooting platform in Xutian Village, and the stone carvings of Tengzi Hu of the Qing Dynasty are still there. During the Three Kingdoms, the historical story of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's "Xu Tian Hunting" is sunk here!

Murong Tianshui led the horse to look at these historical traces, and couldn't help but feel a trace of shabby and regret in his heart. Throughout the ages, generations have changed, and the once prosperous capital has not become a deserted city now? The so-called "Where will the past and the present meet?" The barren mound is gone, and the grass is gone. "When and when will it shine again?

Murong Tianshui was thinking about it, when suddenly a light and crisp bell and hoof sound alarmed him, accompanied by this light and crisp bell and hoof, only to hear an old man sing: "Faith is not beautiful, beautiful words are not believed." Good words do not argue, and good words are not good. Those who know are not knowledgeable, and those who are knowledgeable do not know. The saint does not accumulate, but since he thinks that he is a man, he has more; and with others, the more you are. The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of the saint is indisputable. The song is complete, and the vain is straight; If you are low, you will be profitable, and if you are disadvantages, you will be new; Less is gained, more is confused, it is a saint holding one for the world. I don't see myself, so I know; is not self-sufficient, so it is revealed; If you don't cut yourself, you have merit; Not self-conscious, so long. The husband is indisputable, so the world can not fight with it. The so-called 'song is complete' in ancient times, is it a lie? Sincerely. ”

The voice came from far and near, deep and powerful, like a voice from heaven. When Ye Wuwu turned around, he saw a thin old man riding a small black donkey with a whisk in his hand and still humming and singing!

Seeing this situation, Ye Wuwu suddenly remembered Zhang Guolao, one of the eight immortals in Journey to the East, could it be that this old immortal really went down to earth?

When he was hesitating, the old man had already walked in front of him, and he closed his eyes slightly, and he had already seen that he was harmless. Seeing Ye Wuwu's surprised gaze, Lao Dao shook the silver silk and dusted, and the little donkey suddenly stopped, only to see him ask Ye Wuwu: "Young man, do you know what I am singing?" ”

Hearing the old man's question, Ye Wuwu immediately replied respectfully: "If I am not mistaken, what the elder is singing is the eighty-first and twenty-second chapters of the Tao Te Ching!" ”
