581. Excess
Taoism and Buddhism both have excessive business, but neither Taoist priests nor bald heads have not yet expanded this project during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The transcendence of Buddhism originated in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, due to the perennial war killed and injured many people, Xuanzong built a temple at the location of each major war, because it was built in the Kaiyuan period, and the temples built on each battlefield were all called "Kaiyuan Temple".
Then the state is responsible for inviting some Dharma teachers to chant sutras for the military and civilians who have died in excess of the dead, similar to a memorial service, and the transcendence of Buddhism probably began at this time, and later the common people of the people died in their families, and they also followed the example of the state and began to invite the Dharma Master to the home to practice the deeds and chant the scriptures for the deceased to carry out the transcendence, so as to spread.
The origin of Taoism is earlier, but there is no official operation of Tang Xuanzong, so it is not widely spread, Taoism's excess is also called refining, in fact, it is said that the transcendence of Buddhism is the refining of Taoism to change the skin and change the name, after all, some monks have even learned to draw talismans, and it is not surprising that the great power of Taoism and Taoism can learn to refine and comprehend.
The first time that the refinement could be pushed to Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi met a skeleton that year, and it was estimated that it was lonely, so he said a lot of words to himself to the skeleton, this skeleton did not become a beauty and was not beaten with a stick, but appeared in Zhuangzi's dream at night, after the two chatted, Zhuangzi said, "I make Si Ming resurrect the child, for the flesh and bones of the child", this is the prototype of refining.
But no matter how you say it, Shen Gongbao won't.
"I don't know how to go to school, how can I not understand the Dharma of transcendence?" Zishou waved his big hand: "I don't go around the bend anymore, the soldiers of Bishui Pass burned the pass with their lives as a lure during their lives, and after their deaths, their souls manifested to illuminate the pass, expelled the Zhou army, and dared to be the army and the whole army was annihilated, although they were invincible, no one surrendered, Zhang Guifang rode alone to rebel, and it was even more singable and crying, I mean very clearly, these people died vigorously, martyred for the country, it is really a model for the ages, everyone here can live, all depend on them, but where do they go after death? Have the soldiers of Bishui Pass ever rested in peace? Have the soldiers who dared to be in the army ever seen the defeat of the Zhou army? Did Zhang Guifang ever find his way back to Dashang?"
"I want to lead everyone, personally surpass the souls of the dead, send them on the last journey, I will sacrifice lightly, but not this time, I must let the fallen soldiers walk in a beautiful and beautiful way...."
Speaking of this, countless people sighed and sighed.
In fact, this is also not tolerated by the world, at first glance, the king of the Xuan has re-emphasized the sacrifice, this is a good phenomenon of changing the mind and changing the face!
In fact, this is not the case, the so-called excesses of the king of Zhou, still did not reveal the idea of using human martyrdom and human sacrifice, several battles, captured a lot of Zhou soldiers, in the past, these people must have been treated as human animals, human martyrdom, used as sacrifices, but these captives are eating and drinking, without worrying about their lives.
In the past, human sacrifices and human martyrs were not for the fallen soldiers, but for the gods and ancestors, so that they could see the merits of the descendants and show the deeds of the king.
As for the soldiers... What is it? It's just a tool for fighting, and it's also worthy of? You still want to be beautiful and beautiful?
Zhang Guifang is a general, barely worthy of these eight words, what about the rest?
The soldiers of Bishui Pass are also ordinary people, under the ritual system, how can there be a grand funeral? It would be nice to have a tomb.
As for daring to be in the army, it is even more unbearable, these people are all slaves, if they died in the past, no one would pay attention, if they didn't get in the way, no one even cared about no one to bury them, and they wanted to be buried in a grand manner?
But the king still gave the order.
The generals' expressions were complicated, and the dead were all colleagues, and they couldn't say anything bad, but they knew very well that this was transgressive.
And Uncle Wen may be old, although he squeezed out a smile on his face, but his eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't help but moisten, he could see through and knew that the king of Su was in mourning, but the world didn't know, but he was afraid that if this move came out, he would have to criticize him with words.
However, the old man did not hinder him too much, and over the years, the king has also grown up, and he has his own responsibilities in doing things.
He fixed his mind and said, "Since Your Majesty has proposed excess, you must have thought about it in your heart, and you should ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts." ”
"Yes!" Zi Shou saw and heard that Zhong did not object, and his heart was even more relaxed, and said: "The so-called immortals can be bullied, but people cannot be bullied, therefore, we can sacrifice to the gods, we can fool things, and we can also save trouble without sacrificing, but this super heroic spirit, every step can not be wrong, there must be rules everywhere, what kind of people, what kind of rituals, what words should be said, what kind of flags should be placed, how many sides, what kind of melons and fruits, what kind of rituals, everywhere need to be cautious, this ...... It's not that it's going to offend anyone, it's not that it's about observance, it's ...."
"Respect for the Heroic Spirits...."
After waiting for a while, Zi Shou saw that everyone had almost digested it, so he continued: "Come on, prepare flags, set up yin and yang altars, put up tablets for the fallen soldiers who dare to be in the army, flowers and fruits, three meat and four vegetarian food are indispensable, and of course, you have to prepare some money to write and paint on paper....."
Zishou doesn't know much about the constitution of Chaodu, but it's not in the way, anyway, he is the initiator, just make it up:
"Basically, that's it, the national teacher made a charter for me, starting tonight, light dozens of bonfires, once the fire is dim, throw the conch and musk into it to help burn, the wood must be made of agarwood, the flame must be at least five zhang, and the fragrance must be smelled for dozens of miles..."
There has never been such a scale of excesses throughout the ages, and Zishou did not know how to arrange it to be extravagant and wasteful, so he simply copied the bonfire party of Emperor Sui Zhao, and it is said that the "burning court fire" arranged by Li Shimin is the Chinese New Year's Eve party, and it is only one-tenth of the scale of Emperor Sui Zhao's bonfire party.
As to whether the present conditions of the Bishui Pass can be achieved, it is another way to say that it is necessary to show a wasteful attitude with such an exaggerated arrangement, and it is better to make the princes of all walks of life attack it again.
After a while, Zishou sighed and said, "These, don't be disdainful, this is not a family sacrifice, but a national sacrifice, eh..."
Speaking of which, it's really a little sad, the change of dynasties, the catastrophe of the gods, there are too many people who died because of this, this is only the first year, although I know that the dead can become heavenly soldiers and generals, Zhang Guifang can even ascend from a person to the sky as a god, and Zi Shou is not comfortable in his heart.
Especially the soldiers who dare to be in the army, they are the fugitive slaves of Xiqi, how many relatives will they have? Even the bereavement pension can't make up for anything, and the exceedance is the only thing that can be done for the heroic spirit.
Anyway, the world does not tolerate it, and the scale is unprecedented, so that people know that it is a mediocre amount to deliberately do large-scale excessation for small soldiers, and Ji Fa's side will definitely attack himself with this and fall into the ground.
